Finally bringing myself to sell a few guitars and condense the electric collection a bit. I'm primarily an acoustic player and can't keep these sat in their cases.
2016 Gibson ES-335 (Memphis-made):

Next up, J. Parsons Areli:
A custom "lockdown build" that incredibly-talented Tasmanian luthier Jon Parsons completed for me in September / October 2020. Jon managed to source an incredible block of Tasmanian blackwood for this, I mean... just look at it. It's lovely and smooth and finished in Osmo oil.

https://imgur.com/a/BTmDZOmPlease note these photos are from when I first received the guitar. However the current condition is unchanged, I can't find a single mark on it. I don't use the term "mint" unless it's brand spanking new but this must be a safe 9.5/10.
Unlikely to be interested in trades as I’m looking to downsize.

GLWS.
Yes, good point - thanks. It's lived a sheltered life too, so an abundance of life left in the frets.
- more photos added to OP
- willing to post the Parsons Areli
- open to reasonable offers on all three
Would also entertain trade offers up to around £1k, especially acoustics.
Check out Jon Parsons here - including a video of this very guitar, if you scroll through:
