SOLD!! Fender Brent Mason signature | 3 x humbuckers | B-bender | super versatile | £1790

dcg

If you're looking for a do it all instrument that will produce just about any tone and style you associate with the electric guitar, then the Fender Brent Mason signature model should meet - and exceed - your requirements.  Modelled with profound accuracy after Brent Mason's own guitar which has featured on thousands of sessions, the sounds you can wring from this are extraordinary.

And it has a B-bender!  Glasers completely re-engineered the B-bender for this guitar to avoid the huge routs which characterise the traditional string bender; this bender can be adjusted for sensitivity, swapped from the B to the G string if desired, and dialled in for other options other than the usual single tone up.  And if you want to play without the bender, you simply shift the strap locks from the bender lever to the usual strap peg.

Just as on the original, all pickups are Seymour Duncans; a Vintage SM-1N mini humbucker in the neck, a Hot Stack STK-S2 in the middle, and a Tele Vintage Stack STK-T3B in the bridge.  The guitar is silent in operation in a way that no Telecaster has ever been, before or since; each position is however authentic, but can combine with the other pickups to create unique voicings.

This guitar is in great condition, and comes with all the expected case candy and a wonderful yellow-lined black G&G case.  Tuning is via Sperzel locking machine heads, and the special BM switching is dialled in with 3 gold knobs on a gold control plate.  This is set off by the perfectly applied 'grey primer' finish - although I appreciate that some may find the overall aesthetic a challenge.  Personally, I think it's super cool and a magisterial look reflecting one of the true greats of the 20th/21st century studio scene.

Collection in central London is preferred, but I will travel to meet and make a deal work. I'm asking what I think is a very reasonable £1790 posted in the UK.

Carl Verheyen could sell ice to the eskimos, such a good player.

Any interest in trades?
Also what's the weight on this? THey had a rep for being heavy beasts lol

dcg

No trades unfortunately, as I'm in sale only/cash consolidation/three guitars replaced by one mode...a lot of interest in the BM signature - which weighs in at around 8lbs.  The B-bender, Sperzels, and third p/up all make a contribution to the overall weight, but the neck is so comfortable and the balance so good, that it feels solid rather than anything less desirable.  A very easy instrument to play...
And breaking news...sale now pending!

Infinitely more features and versatility than I'd have a clue what to do with, but that looks amazing.  Hope your putative sale gets over the line.

dcg

Thank you - and yes it will do everything, if you have the hands, knowledge, and creativity...I know this only because I've seen videos of Brent M punishing the hell out of this model, rather than providing evidence of my own that would get within 5% of that kind of ability...

Absolute bargain - GLWTS!

And sold.  With thanks to Dave for a simply joyous transaction for a truly wonderful guitar.  You are an absolute gentleman, Sir - and not even counting the cash is a delightful gesture that will stay with me always.  I look forward to doing business again.  Thank you so much.

axisus

Excellent looking instrument. I'd like to try one.

Brilliant transaction with @Sputnik - who in addition to being a very accomplished guitarist is a warm and welcoming individual, with many excellent gear-related anecdotes!  Happy this great instrument is going to such a good home
