SCAMMER WARNING: Due to a spate of recent scam attempts (some successful) recently, if you're doing a deal in the classifieds, ONLY USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES UNLESS YOU KNOW THAT INDIVIDUAL PERSONALLY. It's really not worth saving a few quid.
SORTED: WTB: one of : Martin D-18, Martin D-28, Gibson J-45
I'm in a position to purchase (used!) one of these fine iconic guitars.
In the past I've tried them in various shops trying to decide which one is "best" or "best for me" but I've decided that just drives me mad so I may as well find a clean used example of one and live with it for a while.
Specifically I'd consider:
- Used
- Clean (not damaged and repaired) condition - perfect is not expected
- No structural or action issues however 'easily fixed' (eg not in need of a neck reset, sensible angle over the saddle etc)
- With or without pickup
- Sensibly priced (not significantly above common used prices)
I'm in Swindon but willing to travel to collect or meet within reason.
For the J-45 I'd prefer it to be an Adirondack/Red spruce top
Happy for you to point me to any you see/know of but aren't personally vouching for too.
Thanks!
Red ones are better.

Looking for options...
Would be great to hear my Baranik played properly too
So right now I can't fill my car and worse still, no new guitar - bank say even if the shop cooperate swiftly it will take 2 days to reverse the payment(s)
And i had no plans to buy one that day a friend was looking for a guitar. but that guitar had to be mine it's wonderful.
