SOLD: Guild A-150 Savoy Archtop (£795!)
What's Hot
Collection in Newcastle or can meet nearby (within an hour or so on the train), otherwise open to shipping. Just moved house so have a plenty of bubble wrap!
Guild A-150 Savoy Blonde Archtop (£795)
I recently picked up a Guild Artist Award which has made this guitar a little redundant. Bought this in Inverness a little over a year ago in practically unplayed condition. It is still mint (at least I couldn't find any marks) and comes with the original sturdy hardcase. This is the newest iteration with the volume/tone knobs tucked away under the pick guard. Lovely flamed back and sides with a solid pressed spruce top
The one improvement I made was having The Guitar Workshop in Glasgow swap the stock DeArmond 1000 for an 1100 during a setup, which imo made quite the difference (adjustable pole pieces are handy too). The guitar is strung with Thomastik Jazz flats (13s) and sounds pretty strong acoustically, nearly as loud as the Artist Award.
I'm looking for
£795. If the guitar I am looking at goes I'll probably hold onto this, they really are great value for what you get
Gretsch G6128-1959 Vintage Select Duo Jet (£1795) NOW SOLDA truly stunning guitar that I am still reluctant to post. The lovely V-shaped neck on this that is one of the best I've tried. In truly mint condition, still have all of the tags/original certificate. It still had the plastic on it when I got it. The guitar has had a pro setup two months ago with Thomastik flats which I think suit the guitar well, but that can obviously be swapped out.
Only reason I'm considering parting with this one is that I have been leaning more towards acoustic playing recently and probably have too many electrics--my 6120 is more than sufficient for a Gretsch sound when I want it and this stunning guitar should really be played more. Looks like Coda is getting more of these in September for £2600!, so may as well skip the wait and get a like-new one for a much more reasonable price.

The VS 59 really is the best jet, strongly considering being financially irresponsible and withdrawing it!
I would trade the '59 for a '57 VS Duo Jet in Cadillac Green, among a few other select things
Packing up for shipping is no bother, though
