SCAMMER WARNING: Due to a spate of recent scam attempts (some successful) recently, if you're doing a deal in the classifieds, ONLY USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES UNLESS YOU KNOW THAT INDIVIDUAL PERSONALLY. It's really not worth saving a few quid.

SORTED: Fancy a Gretsch of sorts, vintage & modern considered.

edited January 2020 in Guitars £
I once played a 60's Jet Firebird singlecut a few years ago and I vowed to buy one at some point, it was very special indeed.  I also had a love affair with a 60's Country Gent for a few months when the owner was out of the country but it had to be returned.

I'd consider either vintage USA or modern Japanese (all original if vintage please, and no structural repairs), not the Players Edition and not an Electromatic.  Stern Masterbuilt also an option.

It also must have a Bigsby and Filtertrons (TV Jones a plus but no Powertrons).  I prefer singlecut Jets and double cut thinlines, and I don't want anything deep bodied.

If it's a Jet, ideally it'd be something other than black although I'd consider it if the price is right.  Happy with sparkly paint jobs too.

Based in the Cotswolds, happy to travel for the right guitar.

Cheers for looking.

Now sorted.  Thanks all.

    Thanks, that would be ideal for me other than the colour - it's definitely on my radar though.

    Cheers.

    Hi mate - lovely guitar and would probably be right up my street but I definitely want to try before I buy, and Belfast isn't exactly convenient.  Cheers though and GLWTS.
