I’m hoping the above pics will work!

42nd Street Guitars are sold in Vintage and Rare and made by Angela Arnott, the well known and respected vintage guitar restorer/luthier. The R Cab is her own design. It’s a tele, with rickenbacker features, like the cabronita is a tele with Gretsch features.

The Guitars are handmade and carved, hand sprayed in nitro and this particular guitar features Ric 63 pickups wound by a Jamie at the Creamery. There is a 30 plus week wait list for these!

It cost me £1,600, but I accept its niche and I won’t get anything like that back.

Trades are fine. I’m generally a Fender man, but by all means ask. I’d be particularly interested in a rosewood board Strat, a jazzmaster or Jag and while I think I’m sorted for Teles, I can rarely resist them.

Im valuing the guitar at £900, but it’s hard to value and I’m open to reasonable offers. 

Happy to post as the guitar includes a hard case.

Please let me know if any questions

    Fairly typical Fender 60s Style c shape. Not a slim neck, fits nicely in the hand. 9.5 radius

    From the description I was expecting to hate that.... Even though I love Rics and Teles!!

    Looks gorgeous, that colour is exquisite too, beautiful guitar mate. Can't see that hanging around long, GLWTS.

    Hi Steve,
    yes it’s gone. Contact Angela at 42nd Street if you want one built. She’s great to deal with

  • Cheers Bud...yeah...I've got one of Angela's kit built tales which is my main guitar. The £1600 asking is a bit much? I'll keep my eye out?
    Cheers Steve.

    Vintage and rare in bath have had one with Filtertrons forever. I’ve played it and it’s a lovely guitar. I’d imagine they’ll do a deal given they’ve had it for about 3 years
