 Hi all this is my first post and have this lovely guitar for sale. I bought this second hand a few years back and I rarely gig it as its a bit too valuable so its mainly been a studio guitar for the last couple of years. It has grover tuners on it which hold there tuning far better than the older ones but obviously a down side for a collector. For its age it has a fair few marks on it but in my opinion thats what makes these guitar look better than the newer ones. It has been setup professionally with some gauge .13's and comes with hard case but its not the original one. Ive attached some pictures below and can add more if you like! 

 Im after £2900   might consider a px just PM

Mate, why don't you have a little read of this and then re-work your 'ad'

You'll notice people find your post funny (the LOLs, bottom left).  That's not a good thing.

That gets you a wis. This is a good thing.

Really - it's much better to put a few of the best pics in here: people really hate P'bucket (with good reason - it's horrid).  Click on the image, copy the direct link and then use the 'insert image' icon - making sure you replace the whole thing with the direct link.  

A bit like this:

What a beautiful guitar.  Don't suppose you'd consider a part exchange for this...http://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/64829/price-drop-1900-fs-gibson-es-335-50th-anniversary-63-block-reissue-in-sunburst#latest

Wow thats a lovely 335! I actually sold a '59 fat neck 335 to get this one though so not looking for another 335 at the moment!

A transitional model!  GLWTS!

Please may I ask what the neck profile is like? Slim or fat?

Oh Lordy! I'd love to get my hands on this. An early 60s 330 has been on my list for about twenty years. I've got a 73 Starfire for sale too.

Another "Oh Lordy" from me too. 

My long term goal is to flog a couple of guitars to get a nice 330.

I do have a 2006 '56 reissue Goldtop that's possibly one of the ones going but I suspect I'd still be short of quite a bit of cash.

Lovely starfire id def consider a px with that one. Infact all of those you are selling are amazing!

I've got my last lump of student loan due next month too.
I'm in no position to be that frivolous sadly. I need a fair bit doing to my house before it goes on the market. That, and I might have lined myself with a pair of 70s Hiwatt 4x12s!

That's the rascal. Not that much to see with Goldtops really, they all look pretty much alike. It's a 2006 R6, 9lb 2oz -  big fat neck and a nice dark fingerboard.. Stock other than replacement bone nut. Excellent condition with original case but no COA. Just for information really as even on a good day that's going to leave me with a lot of cash to raise to make up the difference.
