Collection in Newcastle or can meet nearby (within an hour or so on the train), otherwise open to shipping. Just moved house so have a plenty of bubble wrap! 

Guild A-150 Savoy Blonde Archtop (£795)

I recently picked up a Guild Artist Award which has made this guitar a little redundant. Bought this in Inverness a little over a year ago in practically unplayed condition. It is still mint (at least I couldn't find any marks) and comes with the original sturdy hardcase. This is the newest iteration with the volume/tone knobs tucked away under the pick guard. Lovely flamed back and sides with a solid pressed spruce top 

The one improvement I made was having The Guitar Workshop in Glasgow swap the stock DeArmond 1000 for an 1100 during a setup, which imo made quite the difference (adjustable pole pieces are handy too). The guitar is strung with Thomastik Jazz flats (13s) and sounds pretty strong acoustically, nearly as loud as the Artist Award. 

I'm looking for £795. If the guitar I am looking at goes I'll probably hold onto this, they really are great value for what you get 



Gretsch G6128-1959 Vintage Select Duo Jet (£1795) NOW SOLD

A truly stunning guitar that I am still reluctant to post. The lovely V-shaped neck on this that is one of the best I've tried. In truly mint condition, still have all of the tags/original certificate. It still had the plastic on it when I got it. The guitar has had a pro setup two months ago with Thomastik flats which I think suit the guitar well, but that can obviously be swapped out.

Only reason I'm considering parting with this one is that I have been leaning more towards acoustic playing recently and probably have too many electrics--my 6120 is more than sufficient for a Gretsch sound when I want it and this stunning guitar should really be played more. Looks like Coda is getting more of these in September for £2600!, so may as well skip the wait and get a like-new one for a much more reasonable price.

I have one of these with the same pickup mod, really lovely guitar and especially good value at this price!

razorbill

Thanks! Yeah the pickup swap makes a difference with this guitar imo (with the RC1000 it sounded the slightest bit inbalanced). 

Though honestly I had been playing it mostly acoustically

Thanks! It really is something special, even more so in person.

I would consider reasonable offers this week as there’s something I may have my eye on, if anyone is on the fence

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend

The VS 59 is my absolute favourite Jet ever. A proper proper Gretsch.

Images briefly broke but should be working again. Had the Guild on hold for a minute but the buyer had to pull out last minute.

The VS 59 really is the best jet, strongly considering being financially irresponsible and withdrawing it!

Two lovely guitars there!

Sir! I covet your Guild Savoy. Please assure me it doesn’t resemble an Ox in any way??? Seriously.. if I missed any reference in your original text I apologise.. but are you interested in any trades ? (I may as well ask huh?!) 

razorbill

Appreciate the interest, it is a stunner! In general I'm not looking for trades on either, but it doesn't hurt to message. 

I would trade the '59 for a '57 VS Duo Jet in Cadillac Green, among a few other select things

'lil bump 

razorbill

up up up. Should mention that it would be possible to arrange meeting up in (or somewhere along the way to) London, my partner goes down for work. Have had a few folks message about that

Packing up for shipping is no bother, though

razorbill

Hope all are having a nice weekend! 

razorbill

A fair amount of interest/offers but surprisingly still available! I might consider trades towards acoustics as well

razorbill

I meant to add that I would consider near offers as well
