Gibson Les Paul Goldtop 1979
Late 1970's Les Paul standards, in gold finish, are very rare. This guitar started life as a Les Paul deluxe, with mini humbuckers, and was made at the Kalamazoo plant. At some point in its life she was modified at Talking Music by Mark Reader. Fast forward to 2024, we have rewired to '50's spec wiring with paper and oil caps, but retained the original pots and switch. We have fitted Dimarzio PAF pickups (these themselves were from a '78 guitar.) We took off the roller bridge and replaced with period correct ABR1 (although the original was a Nashville - this looks better!) Naturally reliced through years of use. No headstock breaks. Grovers have been fitted (quite common.) The rosewood fingerboard is almost black in colour. The body is a one piece mahogany. £3499 |

Comes with original case and has just been set up. £2399 ONO (On customers instructions) |

1954 Gibson Les Paul
Once owned by the late Jim Ellison of Material issue. This guitar has had extensive inspections by Scott Lentz and Joseph Kaye Guitars, the body is believed to be a ’54 with a re-neck by Gibsons in 1971 (NOTE: John believes that the neck has had a headstock grafted on plus fingerboard replacement. Black light heck indicates that headstock seems to be three-piece but neck is one-piece, we are further investigating.) The mahogany neck has a wide head stock and volute with an Indian rosewood fingerboard. This guitar was originally a gold top (!) which has now been painted over black, this thought to have been done in ’69/71. Fitted with 2 P-90’s which appear to be original. Volume and tone knobs are correct for the ’54 period, however, the pots appear to be dated ’66. Comes with an original ’71 Gibson Hardcase. (With COWBOY written on top, thought to be connected to the Southern Rock band with the same name, which we are investigating more) Whilst not a case queen guitar, Jim was well known for getting guitars to be roadworthy, playing instruments. We’ve just given her a re-string and polished the frets and even with the not so great but period correct wrap around tail piece the intonation is bang on. Very much a useable but classic guitar. £13,995.00 |

PRS
1999 'Swamp ash' The idea for this guitar -according to the fabulous PRS book written by Dave Burrluck- came from the early '54/55 ash bodied Fender Stratocasters.

Paul Reed Smith Multi Foil Special in Copper 1988
"One of the most rarest, most collectable electric guitars in the world." Only 48 guitars were made, and 12 of those were the Copper foil. Not much is known about these guitars, in fact, they're not even mentioned in the PRS book. Due to complications in the lacquering of this guitar, a lot of the guitars finishes had failed, and at the time wasn't a highly desired finish. Mahogany 24 frets on a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. £8999.00 For more information of this rare guitar, this is the link to a great blog post that gives you more details! https://guitarriego.com/en-us/guitar/history-and-specifications-of-prs-multifoil-special-model-guitar/ |

LP Style
Built by Unknown maker in USA Prior to 1978. Neck is possibly S.G or 300 series Gibson. Cause a stir on Ebay a couple of years back... Very heavy guitar, would make good '59 rep project.

Gibson SG Special 1969
Serial number dates to 1968, but the pots are dated 1969. This is a one owner guitar from new, the owner of this guitar grew up with and was the best friend of famed producer Chris Tsangarides.... Chris was best known for his work with heavy metal artists: Gary Moore, Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, Helloween, etc. He also worked with various pop and alt artists such as Depeche Mode and Tom Jones. ...They played in the same band together as teenagers. He also went on to tell us that if Chris ever needed a guitar for recording, that needed the P90 sound, he would borrow this! (Although he doesn't know which recordings it would have been used on.) Purchased in the West End, brand new, in 1969. Great to see one without the famed headstock break or changed tuners! She started out as a Cherry red but many gigs around the Mediterranean have faded the finish to a more brown natural. Also the favourite guitar of Pete Townsend in the who late '60's early 70's era. And some bloke called Angus! £4995 |
