Hi all, I fancy having a bit of a change about so i'm putting up a couple of vintage guitars for trade, not fussed if I end up keeping them all, but I've had them all a couple of years now and they aren't getting the playing they deserve. Whats about?
1964 Gretsch 6124 Single anniversary
£1000 rough value
Pretty nice condition for age, expected binding rot, guy I have got it from says neck has never been reset but not sure myself, I understand neck joints on these were pretty weak so its a "when its reset rather than if", and on this one action is spot on, and neck is solid so personally I think its likely to have been reset at some point.
1967/1970 Harmony H64
£700 rough value
Again nice condition for age, but is a little scrappy visually but plats fine as is so have never changed it
Mogar
Rough value £600
Don't know a great deal about 60s made in Milan, has de armonds in it, its an interesting shade of green burst
Early 60s Eko 290 barracuda
Rough value £200
Very battered and parts missing hence value, plays beautifully though, and nothing structurally wrong with it, all laquer cracks.
1961 Hofner Colorama
Rough value £300
Again lovely condition, 2 of the machine heads aren't original (although are also vintage hofner) solid wood and set neck model late 1961.
197? Kramer 250b
Rough value £500
Aluminium neck bass, the body is a factory job, I have seen about 4 online over the world cut exactly the same, i'm guessing surplus stock cut to look more like the later DMZ range
1977 Fender Musicmaster
£550rough value
Not a collectors piece, lindy fralin mustang pickup, although I do gave the original to, brass but, it has been routed out for a second pickup under the plate.
1989 Rickenbacker 610 (technically vintage its over 25 years old)
Rough value £650
Very battered, repro scratch plate, I do have the original lower place and a black upper plate.
I'm in Margate more photos of each if any interest

Trades, i'd not really thought about what i wanted,but I've always fancied a Rickenbacker 330 or a nice jazzmaster, but open to suggestion as it stands I thought I have more quirky guitars than space, and as much as I love them, I haven't played them as much as I should be,
