G&L Fullerton Standard USA Strat - 2018
£750 now £650 plus £15 postage or collected from Nottingham
Here's a great guitar that perhaps could be described as Leo Fender's vision for the evolution of the Strat - made by the company that bears his initial, G&L, this is an excellent USA made guitar.
It's described as the Fullerton Standard, although I must admit I can't see the difference between this model and the Deluxe (maybe they are the same and one replaced the other)?
In summary, it's a Strat, that does everything you'd expect from a quality USA guitar - it looks like a Strat, plays like a Strat and sounds like a Strat. It has excellent build quality throughout, and the trem is superb - very stable, smooth and offering great tuning.
What's included:
The guitar comes in its original G&L gigbag. It includes the original paperwork, certificate of authenticity and spec sheet etc. and it has the push in trem arm. Please note that the Schaller strap buttons pictured will be replaced with the original G&L buttons prior to sale.
Condition:
The guitar is in excellent condition, with 2 exceptions which I'll come back to shortly. The body has no dings, scratches or marks that I can see, the electrics all function perfectly, the frets show very little sign of wear (if any) and it's nicely set up with new strings and a low action. The case is pretty much like new. So, the 2 exceptions:
1) the pickguard has some swirly pick marks on it
2) the neck has suffered a few little dings - I've photographed these as best as I could, but to be clear about them, there are 4 little dings on the bass side of the neck between around the 3 and 5th frets. These occurred when something bashed against the guitar whilst on its stand - they are visible, and you can feel them, although depending on your playing technique they may feel subtle due to their location on that bass side of the neck.
If it wasn't for these 2 things, the guitar really does look almost new so here's a great chance to get a superb USA Strat for a great price.Base theme by DesignModo & ported to Powered by Vanilla by Chris Ireland, modified by the "theFB" team.

Trade pending: STUNNING SHERWOOD GREEN PARTSCASTER - £600 (collected from Nottingham)
This is basically a parts guitar that was assembled and set up by Neil at Ivison (look them up if you don't already know). So, it's a partsocaster, but what does that mean?
You're getting:
All in this is £1000+ of parts, but the sum is so much greater - as you can see it's a great looking guitar, with a cool played in (relic'd) vibe, and tonally it really lives up to expectations with those superb pickups (around £200 alone). It's nicely set up and plays really well.
I've added a little pyrography to the headstock and applied Monty's relic wax as to me the neck/headstock looked a little too new compared to the rest of the guitar.
Of the two Strats listed, I dare say this is cooler, tonally extremely good (as good if not better than the G&L), personally I probably prefer the trem of the G&L and maybe the neck too, so I really could go either on which to keep and which to sell - hence letting you decide!
Only for sale as I've bought 3 Strats in the last couple of months and need to focus in a bit!!!
No case so collection ideal, but can post.
