I was hoping to hang on to this incredible guitar but needs must to fund a house move! Fantastic build quality, immaculate condition and tons of great features. The dual tone circuit gives you full humbucker tones and glassy single coil tones in one guitar- and it’s blendable so you can stop at any point in between. The almost satin feeling neck is super quick and comfortable.

I’d be happy to take another dual humbucker guitar in part ex with £400-500 my way (Gibson, Fender, PRS preferred but open to options - nothing super modern/pointy). Otherwise, I’m looking for £800 for it. (Reduced from 900)

  • Bump - price dropped to £800. 
    Part ex with a double humbucker guitar still an ideal option too. Something like a MIM Fender tele deluxe would be lovely. Or maybe an epi sheraton. Something classic and humbucker-y

    If anyone is looking at this and not sure it’s the full Dooooozy, they really are. I know they are sometimes marketed as entry level because of the bolt on, unpainted maple neck. It is made like a tele and it looks like a LP but they play every bit the Duesenberg and feel superbly premium. 

    I don’t know the seller by the way. Just thought I’d share a view as a fellow Special owner.

    Thanks so much for adding this mate! Couldn't agree more. It's a beautiful guitar that I'd definitely be keeping if our house deposit hadn't just gone up another 5% haha
    It does a mean LP and Strat/Tele. The extra bite from the longer scale length on an LP body just makes it cut through perfectly.
    Super well made guitar. Dammit, I'll be having another one for sure
