Here a cool 2009 Fender Stratocaster Custom Shop David Gilmour model in a glossy black nitro finish with factory fitted Gilmour mods. This guitar is apparently modelled on DG’s 1983 Black Stratocaster model and made from Alder body with a maple glossy neck. One of my better guitars, completely unmolested and all original. Standard yellowed maple fretboard and simple classic Strat look.  Defo one of my best guitars. It’s a light and responsive guitar and easy to play. Very good condition, no obvious marks or dents. Lives in its Fender custom case along with strap, concert in Gdansk CD and various case candy items.

Here a bit of a marmite guitar, the screamingly loud-coloured Gibson Les Paul Custom “Bullseye” Zakk Wylde issue in Cream/Black. It’s a blend of characteristics with the concentric circles and the stripped neck, non Gibson EMG active Pickups as standard issue. For aficionado’s a superb example of an early ZW Les Paul Custom with Serial 515. The guitar is in excellent condition for its years with a bit of tarnishing of the gold plated hardware giving it patina and bit of rock mojo. With its feel and killer looks, and awesome sound it is a great guitar. The fretboard is dark ebony and the maple neck plays light and fluid. Guitar lives in its hard-case.

Here a cool Gibson Les Paul Les Paul Standard Heritage Series, , Guitar from the renowned Heritage series that ran in the early 1980’s. This is a killer guitar with cool looks due to its understated flame honey finish. Not a screaming loud finish but very nice maple top and a killer sound to boot; for those who know the Gibson Les Paul Historic Heritage range, you will have seen some great examples of Gibson’s luthier craftmanship. However, this one is another cool guitar and unmistakably a close cousin to the 1958 Gibson LP.

Here we have a Fender Stratocaster designed as part of the “Exotic Wood” series that came out in 2017. A departure from Fender’s usual wood choices, the 2017 Wood choices included reclaimed and recycled wood from a multi wood furniture factory nearby the Fender factory. Pine, Dark mahogany, African woods like Oukome and Shedua were amongst the materials used. Part of that range was a Shedua Top Stratocaster, it was thought the Oukome alters the typical Stratocaster tone. The okoume body is a hard wood and has a snappy, punchy attack while the Shedua top is classy looking.
 
This Stratocaster is loaded with three V-Mod single-coil pickups containing Alnico magnets for high output as well as clarity when adjusting the volume controls, thanks to the a treble-bleed tone circuit. The neck is made from flame maple and has a C-shape shaped neck profile with the narrow-tall frets make it easy to bend strings accurately. Pickguard and backplate are made from anodised aluminium. Guitar lives in its moulded hardcase
