What's Hot

edited September 2015 in Guitars £
This a handmade La Cabronita style Fender telecaster made by the brilliant John Gill at JXG guitars in Newacastle. Featuring a ton of specialist mod including a nitro cellulose finish, earvana nut, body chambers and special woods. This guitar is amazing to play and as such is killing me that I have to sell it. It has a TV Jones Classic + for the pickup and plays like a dream. Featuring a Zebrano body with fake binding and a maple top, black nitro cellulose finish which is what gives that special checking pattern and allowing the guitar to breath. The maple and ebony neck is fast and fluid and the earvana nut gives a truer sound to the G & B strings allowing for a better, truer sound to chords.
You won't find anything like this guitar anywhere and if ordered from the Fender custom shop would probably cost somewhere in the region of £1500 plus! To you guys £600 Pictures to follow....NOW £550

    ^TBH Si as a man lucky enough to own a JXG guitar AND a fan of La Cabs, if I had the coin I'd be tempted to buy it blind at that price because it will be feckin amazing

    zebrano is a heavy wood.  How much does the guitar weigh?

    Can you see the grain through the wood?

    The postage back and forth when either had 'dibs' on it would cost us a fortune Rob!!! Then there's the explaining to the Mrs "Well it's sort of mine....."  
    :))
