edited January 2020 in Guitars £

















Very reluctant sale but I've been having some issues with a tendon in my left hand and the big neck on this is meaning I can't play it much, I know Wez is very well regarded on here so thought I'd offer it to you lot first. 

It's based on a cross between a 55 Junior and Standard, all whilst looking like a burst. Big period correct neck, pickups sound incredible, I'm 99% sure the staple was a one-off from Mojo. 
Here's the specs:
One piece weight relieved African Mahogany back
One piece Honduran Mahogany neck
Indian Rosewood Fretboard
Carved Sycamore Top
Mojo Staple/P90 Pickups
Hand aged Nitrocellulose finish.

Absolutely stunning craftsmanship, all handmade and had an extremely long time spent on perfecting every detail, I'll link to the build thread for anyone interested.

Price is exactly what I have in it, £1000, which I think is a steal considering the time spent building and designing this.

Collection only from Leeds, no case I'm afraid

    Beautiful guitar and great price for something genuinely crafted. I’d love to take it off your hands but bad timing finds wise. GLWTS.

  • Just a quick update to save PM’s as I’ve had a lot of interest on this. As I don’t have a case I’m not willing to post, I’m down around Melton Mowbray a lot so willing to arrange something or meet inbetween etc. 

    Though I’d prefer cash, I’m up for trades for something similar with a smaller neck. Les paul junior/special, duesenberg, musicman etc. Ideally after vintage style small nut width and something light and resonant

  • Bah, if this was 6 months ago when I had the cash I'd have been down the A1 to Leeds in a flash, as I was lusting over this the last time it was for sale on here! Bad timing!

    GLWTS!

    Well I technically owned it for a little bit less than a day as my mate's online banking was being awkward and I'd bobbed along for the ride... Sadly he then got his bank to behave and sent me the money. It's a lovely thing, gotta say, I'm a huge fan of Wez's work.

    Serious offer to the new owner, we could try and get both guitars together at some point since they're closely related.  Would make a good photo.

    Probably wrong to wow a picture of a guitar I made, but I really like that picture.

    I have a weird mental block about guitars I haven't seen in a while... I just remember the bits I couldve done better, not how much I got right

    All the pics in this thread are much better than the ones I take :)
