Burny RLG55S Sustainer Model Taiwan + Case

SOLD

This pickup physically activates the strings to vibrate. The sustain and feedback are both real and not software emulated. 

It weighs only 3.6 kg which is very nice for a LP. 

The sustainer pickup also ha a passive mode where the Driver (neck) works like a more or less regular neck pickup. It is a bit sterile in tone by classic humbucker standards, but hey, it's not a humbucker! 

Shipping in brand new, dust and odour free hard case, a more expensive one from Gator.

1980 ESP Navigator Telespo + Case

SOLD

The absolute best Tele your money can buy. Has been in my private part of the collection for a long time. I have to sell some to complete a large batch of Duoton guitars (my own production).
V-shaped very authentic, proper pre-cbs feeling neck. That also means the E strings are close to the fret end.
7.25" radius, original small frets. All polished and playing incredible.
Original pickups.
I changed the saddles. Lower three are modern type for comfort and no side to side movement, higher three are strat steel vintage ones for more twang. 
Fabulously lightweight.

Brand new hard case.
An absolutely fabulous professional instrument that you hopefully won't ever have to sell.

2019 Duoton JS2 Left Handed #019 + Case

EU & UK
£1150 shipped

This is a finished guitar with no lead time to wait.

Our take on a Jag-Stang, "improved and corrected" design.

Specs:

• Mahogany+Alder body (bass side mahogany).
• 3.3kgs / 7.3lbs
• Maple, 24,75", C shape / 9,5" fretboard, 43mm nut, 23mm thickness on 1st fret.
• Nitro finish in Fiesta Red.
  
• Lindy Fralin Modern PAF / Lindy Fralin 54 / Lindy Fralin 54.
  
• MID pickup ON/OFF switch.
• 3-way selector switches NECK / NECK+BRIDGE / BRIDGE
• Bridge humbucker coil split switch.
• Vintage Kluson tuners.
  
• Mustang bridge with brass saddles.
  
• Long trem arm and it is spring-supported.
• Bourns premium 95 / Bourns no-load pots.
• 0.01uF K40Y-9 paper in oil capacitor.
  
• Copper shielding.
• Hard case.

Huge number of possible sound combinations. If you leave the mid pickup slider alone it's just a standard H+S JS2 with very easy switching.

We accept partial trade-ins for your gear.

Disclaimer on our finish: unlike big companies, we use pure nitro finish, that is very brittle, much the same technology that was used back in the 60s. For that reason, even our NEWLY made guitars will sometimes have paint chips, checking, light scratches, and other forms of light relic, especially in places with sharp angles (e.g. neck pocket). Those things are absolutely unavoidable, and Duotons will age naturally over time.

EU and UK Shipping policy: if you are based in EU or UK, you will receive your Duoton shipped from within the union, using a local EU courier. No extra customs charges involved.

Greco EG68-50 EG500 EGC500

£600 - SOLD

One of the Supergrecos that are not often found. Watch this video and you will see what I mean:

https://youtu.be/umy7SZVm66E

All original.

Neck has two places with lacquer cracks. I assume it fell on that side but survived. The sound is absolutely fantastic. Obviously not for collectors of mint looks.

Kasuga Flat Mandolin 1960s + Case

£500 shipped with DPD

An absolutely fantastic professional instrument. For serious use, you might consider replacing the original tuners. They're old and you know you don't want to use vintage tuners for work. Original vintage hard case. This is a mahogany body and neck mandolin, it weighs absolutely nothing and is incredibly resonant, with a huge, rich tone.  
Cosmetic condition is close to excellent.

I had EGC500 in the same spec, but black colour. Same headstock inlay. The guitar had endless sustain and nice creamy tone. I sold it for very cheap before moving countries, I wish I did not.

That’s a very interesting looking acoustic in the back there; I’m not in the market to buy unfortunately but it looks lovely, what is it?

you mean my ObG Firebird? That was like 1 year ago. No, not planning to ever get them at all. Nor the V's, nor the EXP's, nor the SGs. They're more affordable in EU/UK than imported from Japan. They're large, need expensive and heavy cases, guitars cost too much in Japan, and too little in EU. I am personally not interested in the models, so I never buy them, that was a one off purchase back then.

Cheers I’ll have to look into those, not seen one before. Looks a beauty.

I have never seen another one myself either. Not in the 2001 catalog too. But oh yes it is good
