WTB - Les Paul, SG or 335. Gibson/Burny/Tokai etc etc

Sharky77

Interested in Gibson, Burny, Tokai etc 

Needs to have at least a medium neck, definitely no slim tapers please.

Don't mind about condition.

I'm based in Kent but can drive to collect if the right guitar comes up.

Bonus points for a custom!

Nothing over £1750 but also might be up for something as low as £200.

Cheers!

Any interest in an LP Special?

2017 Gibson SG special with the small scratchplate and 24 frets
Will either have the original pickups for £650 or a Tonerider p90 in the neck and a Bareknuckle p90 in the bridge for £750 
Includes gigbag and shipping also is in satin cherry. 
Great guitar just not using it since I got my black 61r

Can I take this opportunity to showcase my 78 Yamaha SA1000 which I reckon is cheap !

I am also driving to Maidstone on Sunday to see my folks in case that helps ….

Eastman T486? All the ES335 vibe you will ever need, fantastic neck profile since I, like you, am not a fan of slim tapers and custom UK pickups?

Thanks everyone! I've had lots of messages so will work through them today. Keep them coming! One more thing to add, I do really like the binding over the frets on Gibson's (think the older Burny's have it too) so I probably won't be interested in the Gibson studios or specials where they don't have any neck binding at all. Thanks!

Specials do have binding, you’re in luck. And they have P90s… so you know, sound better

That’s lovely, could be tempted by that myself.

Am just about to take the Bigsby off this and make a few adjustments but it might suit you as it is. https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/238279/withdrawn-gibson-sg-2009-1000#latest

I have a Vintage V100 in sunburst with a lovely quilted top (may be a veneer but it looks lovely either way) and some pretty hot Wilkinson pickups. Can be yours for £150 but I'm Birmingham.

Alternatively have a "Levin" ES335 style guitar in cherry Red that I'm umming and ahhing over whether to keep or not. It's a well-made far Eastern made guitar that currently has a bareknuckle and some duncan tripleshot pickup rings. Toying with just putting some cheap pickups in it and selling it on, but if you wanted it with the posh pickups and bits then you can have them. Wouldn't be too expensive either way.

Message me either way if you're interested in either or both of them.

Forget all this talk of a Custom etc etc. these aren’t the Les Pauls you are looking for.

Buy my LP Studio. It has my blood, sweat and DNA in it:

No, don't buy this. I want to buy it when my guitars sell.
