For sale my Gretsch Tennessee Rose 6119.
It was made in Feb 1992 at the revered Terada factory and I've had it since 2010.
This model would usually have a Bigsby, but the previous owner who was a professional musician fitted a tailpiece to provide better tuning stability. It can be easily swapped for a B6C if you prefer which are available from Thomann.

The guitar is in good condition for an instrument that's nearly 30 years old. There is a small scratch near the pickup selector, a crack in a pickup ring and a little bit of glue residue where the bridge has been secured. Other than that it's minty with no rash.

The guitar has Filtertrons and I also have a set of boxed Oil City Masterwound Cowtrons (£200 new) which I can include for £100 (update cowtrons sold)

It's a superb guitar with amazing cleans as you would expect, but also able to get quite filthy. The neck is slim and very easy to play with a Strat scale like a White Falcon. 

The original case is included though it's a bit ratty.

Guitar is located in Bury St Edmunds. Happy to drive to meet up, but I would rather not post

I've now dropped this to the lowest price I will accept
Priced at £1,300  £1,150  £1000 SOLD

    SOLD
    Next we have a 2008 Fender US Standard Stratocaster HSS in Shoreline Gold.

    I've had the guitar since 2012 when it was bought as NOS still in the plastic.

    The guitar is a 60th anniversary model which means it has the 60th badge on the back of the headstock and an upgrade to S1 switching normally only found on a deluxe giving 10 pickup options.

    As stock the guitar comes with a 2 point Fender bridge and Diamondback (JB clone) and Tex Mex pickups which are included in the price. However I have upgraded the guitar significantly with Bulldog Sweet 62 singlecoils and an Oil City Scrapyard Dog+ humbucker and a SuperVee Bladerunner bridge (£179 upgrade https://super-vee.com/media/pdf/BladeRunnerGuitarWorld.pdf ) which makes a huge difference to tuning stability and tone.

    Guitar is pretty much mint and includes the original SKB hardcase. 

    Again happy to meet up within a reasonable radius of Suffolk, but would rather avoid posting.

    Price is £700 £650 SOLD

    I would happily trade one or both of these guitars for a really nice Tele such as a custom shop, Suhr, Anderson, etc with cash in either direction. Feel free if you want to suggest other trades, but I am primarily looking for a Tele.
    I'm also happy to hear close offers especially if you want both guitars.

    Bump and clarification to the price of the Gretsch as including the price of the pickups made it look more expensive than it is.

    I've had the Gretsch out today and it absolutely blew my socks off with my new Marshall so I'm seriously considering keeping it.

    Will trade the US Strat for either a Tele or something with Humbuckers or P90s and a fixed bridge.
