Time for a couple of my guitars to find new homes.

Gibson R6 Les Paul - Murphy Aged

If my reading of the Serial Number is correct, (6 0xxx), this makes this a guitar built in the year 2000.
It is typical Gibson fare, mahogany body and neck, rosewood board (I assume Indian rosewood). The frets are excellent with no its or grooves.

The guitar has some heft, tipping the scales at just under 9Ibs 6oz. Acoustically it is loud and really resonant.

The ageing particularly to the top and headstock is really authentic, the guitar looks likes something from the 50's.

The guitar has the black Gibson Art Historic case and certficate. Whilst the body has a few bumps, I genuinely could not tell you what was there as part of the ageing process or what has been picked up in the last 19 years. Suffice to say when not being played it has been stored in it's case and has lived in a smoke free home whilst in my charge.

£4000 ono. £3850

PRS McCarty 594

Mahogany body and neck, Indian rosewood fingerboard and maple top finished in faded whale blue and with a black back. 
For a non 10 top guitar there is a lot of movement in the figure. 
No chips or dents on the guitar, instrument is completely stock and comes with PRS hard case and all associated case candy.

£2200 ono. £2100 firm SOLD

I am not looking for trades on either of these instruments, unless you have something of the Tyler or Tom Anderson variety that tickles my fancy, however I am mainly looking to create some room in the house and free up some space for some more guitars that are currently incoming.

I would prefer collection, but would courier. PayPal or bank transfer would be preferred, I am willing to go 50/50 on PayPal fees.

    Because I will need to do battle with an image hosting website, which will inevitably involve swearing. And partly because I need to nip out and collect a couple of amps from the amp tech first.

    March is a top guy - we used to work together over ten years ago but won't hold that against him.

    I would second that, I've known him for ages and he has FAR too many guitars.

    Remarkably, I've not had to bribe or blackmail Vibetronic or bgmartinsbridge to say those things.

    Anyway, all messages answered so far, and I'm wobbling about letting a couple of them go.

    Back to the top with some price reductions on the McCarty and the Macon. I would potentially entertain trades for Tyler's or Tom Anderson Classic's.

    I would absolutely bloody love the 594 and/or the Macon. Hopefully Santa'll be good to me this year...

    Sure... add £50 to the price and as for monthly payment, hows about one payment, in full, at the point in time of purchase... :sunglasses:

    Necrothread alert! Something a little special that I ordered last year is almost ready for collection, and as I need to create space for it (and maintain a spot in the Mrs good books), one or ideally both of these need to leave the fold. So, back to the top they go (after an eight month hiatus!).
