Amazing guitars all three of them. GLWTS I guess, although I don’t think you should sell any of them!

You’re probably right!

Thanks for all of the messages. Lots of interest in the MB.
Just to confirm, MB is a 2023 build so old headstock before the legal threats from Fender, radio shop pickups. Should have mentioned that MB use Callaham.

Tomatillo is a 2018 limited run. 

All still available.

Deals fallen through on the MB (twice) and Gretsch so all still here and available. 

Just to explain the trades situation - I’m after cash (isn’t everyone). I could do with clearing 3k in a trade though towards the Gretsch, for example. However, there might be something I’d be hugely tempted by- for example, on the forum currently there’s a novo miris I really want, the Collings 360 would be very tempting, @Hattigol’s Jag is a stunner, I’m definitely after a Collings i35lc vintage at some point….

3 as good as you’ll ever get guitars for a Thursday bump

All on eBay but also adding a Novo Serus T as bought from Peach when they got their first novo batch. Now a discontinued model. Here’s the Peach link https://www.peachguitars.com/novo-select-serus-t-foam-green-aged-pearloid-pickguard.htm

Looking for £2,750

Weekend bump for a bargain priced Stern masterbuilt

chris78

Price reduction to a very generous £4,999. 
I'm away on holiday soon so this will go on a temporary withdraw if unsold before.

Do you know the neck thickness? Say depth at first fret?

Also, what does the 6 way switch do? Are the pickups wired like a strat? i.e. wired RWRP for the middle one.

I am guessing 6 way is something like

up = neck/both/bridge with middle engaged
down = neck/both/bridge without middle engaged

I believe it’s supposed to give humbucker or single coil style sounds in each position. Effectively to my ears you can go from bright twang to having less treble and more balls in each position. 

I’ve looked everywhere to try and find neck measurements and they’re not available. If it helps, it feels nothing like the thin u necks on Japanese models. It’s very much a medium c shape without having huge shoulders. Pretty Goldilocks where it’s not fat but not thin and fits the hand nicely. I’d be very surprised if anyone struggled with it. It’s really what sets the sterns I’ve played aside from a regular factory model. Just so much nicer feeling necks.

Interesting, thanks.

Lovely looking guitar! Probably too far for me to come and try it, but maybe one day.

If you’re interested depending on what part of London it is, it’s 25 miles from the centre from Chatham.
Great train service supported by the high speed from St Pancras or trains from Cannon Street, Charing Cross, London Bridge, Waterloo and Victoria.

It’s one of the best connected suburbs in the south east.

Just give me a shout
