Three guitars, three price points. Trying to realign a collection that's gone a bit nuts and also raise some coin to spring for something I've seen on here.
First up is my somewhat unique Fender Thinline Tele Super Deluxe Lite, in the finest of Racing Tango finished by SC Relics
@lonestar of this parish. This began life as a 2017 '72 Thinline reissue before I added a few personal modifications, including said colour scheme and a brand spanking new set of TV Jones Filtertrons. Thought I'd be keeping it for ever - indeed you may find the colur scheme so hideous that that is what comes to pass, but acquisition of a
real '72 Thinline ,akes me feel a bit greedy having 2 of the suckers.
Full build thread
here. Bit hard to price as I shelled out a bundle making it the way it is, but I reckon £725 sounds fair. Tell me I'm wrong.

Next is something you don't see every day: the Gibson Billy Morrison Les Paul. Billed as a Standard with Custom Specifications, this really is rather special, even if Mr Morrison may not be the most famous player on the block.
• One of a global run of 200.
• 60s lower profile neck
• Rare proper ebony board, gold wire
• Upgraded BKP Mule vintage output matched pickups (original Duncans lost to the rock n roll Fates)
• All-over gloss nitro finish, pinstripe binding on the top, lovely edge bound neck, beautifully dressed
• Locking Grovers
Small amount of weight relief. Sustain for days. Includes artist
branded Gibson hard case and the truss cover with the artist's name on
it, albeit that it's been changed to a Standard one as my name is not Billy Morrison, and I couldn't afford the Deed Poll.
Visually and tonally, a Custom cream in vintage output mode, without the split diamond, and it won't snap your spine.
£1600 takes this bad bad boy.
SOLD

Last but not least is this tone monster: 2007 Custom Shop Les Paul Custom '57 Reissue.
You all know what these are. This one has had a rock n roll life: no breaks or cracks but a dollop of buckle rash and little dings on it that I've tried to picture. Folks pay good money for this sort of thing to be done done professionally: looks like a very well loved guitar that’s been on tour since the mid 70s.
I believe the cognoscenti call these 'B7's; for a 57 the neck is slim. Nothing like an R8. Plays and sounds utterly superb and weighs a metric ton.
£2750
Would REALLY prefer to hand these over in person: I'm based N/Central London/Herts but prepared to travel / to discuss postage options if necessary.

I'll most likely be in that shape tomorrow. Mrs McToot is taking me out to a mystery fancy restaurant tonight for a pre birthday treat.
