Right. I have too many guitars and want to buy an electric piano so these are for the chop. 

I’m going to post these through the day, so will grab the first couple of posts. 

Fidelity Double Standard - Sold on eBay

I’ve had this twice. It’s a great playing and sounding guitar with mojo pickups - the blended sounds are unique. Built in Cambridge. The one piece wenge neck is very nice. I don’t play electric much and it’s my most valuable guitar, so selling it gets me a good way towards the piano I want. 

It’s was aged from new, and I can’t see any additional marks. There is no fret wear. 

It comes with a Hiscox hard case and the price includes shipping in the UK - £1200

Gordon Smith Classic S - £799 including UK postage - Sold

What to say. A lovely looking British made strat. It looks like a strat, it sounds like a strat. It is well made and comes with a Gordon Smith branded hard case. It has two small marks on the body which are photographed below. A few swirly scratch marks that I can’t photograph and you can only see if you really look like any guitar that’s been played a few times. I only mention them for completeness. There’s no fret wear and it is in great condition.

KD Custom Barncaster and hard case - £399 including UK postage - sold pending payment

This is a completely handmade guitar including the pickups and metalwork. I have all the photos from building which I’ll send to the buyer. It is well set up. The action is low and it has no buzzing or choking. The pickups suit overdrive and to my ear through my Deluxe Reverb are more mid with less chime than my Fender Am Pro II.

I’ve just put some new D’addario NYXL 10s on it and treated the fretboard to a bit of Monty’s wax and it looks and feels good. The neck is a medium C - a bit bigger than Fender Modern C. It has Gotoh in tune brass saddles.

The body is pine, which I understand is at least 40 years old. It is resonant unplugged and you can feel the vibration in the guitar when played.

It is definitely a bit rustic in places and I’ve switched the neck plate over to hide the cowboy on horseback that is engraved on the other side. There’s also a small indentation on the neck that is photographed. It might be possible to steam it out given the thin finish on the neck. It isn’t significant enough for me to try and doesn’t bother me.

It was a real impulse buy for me and it’s a genuinely nice guitar but it isn’t my thing aesthetically. Plus I have a Fender tele and have just built a rosewood tele of my own, so it really is surplus to requirements.

It comes with a good quality brand new hard case.

Rich has superb taste in guitars. That Fidelity is exquisite and I’ll bet the tele will be something pretty fabulous for toy money.

Thank you. You too.

The tele is a good guitar. Quite rustic, but plays great.
