Here a great looking Teal/Blue burst Gibson Les Paul Standard model made in 2020. This model is also known as the Goryo Yuto Les Paul Standard Gibson, a musical part of the Japanese Anime film series. Great guitar with a seemingly colour changing flame type top on it.  It’s an average weight body (4.1 Kgs) and made to a high standard and with good materials. This guitar has hardly seen any use and has some minor marks to body. The overall playability is superb. Set up nice and low so it plays like butter. Lives in its tan coloured Gibson case.

Here we have a rare beast, a Gibson Flying V, 1975, as owned and played by Luther Allison
This was Luther’s 1st V, another of the Masters of the Blues using a versatile V. It’s not a pristine guitar by any means and modifications have been made to it and restored and vice versa. However, the distinct markings found on the guitar and the case are unmistakable and the photos have been seen and authenticated bu his son, Bernard Allison, himself an accomplished guitarist and songwriter.

Here a pretty Gibson Les Paul Standard R8 Guitar in a classic Cherry Sunburst finish, Serial 87427 from 2010s. Although it’s a fairly plain guitar, its has nice grain to the Sunburst top. So we have cool looks and a killer sound to boot; for those who know the Gibson Les Paul Custom range. The pickups are quite hot and sound gritty and biting at high gain, as well as nice low end tones.  The guitar is in great condition and lives in its plush lined Gibson Custom Case.

Here an attractive Fender Stratocaster in an aged and yellowed Olympic white finish. Great 1979 vintage guitar; super heavy at 5.2 kgs The richly aged finish has remained crisp and clear and as result is stunning, especially in sun light. The guitar plays very well, all the hardware operates as it should, the electrics work flawlessly. Maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with real mother of pearls dot markers that stand out and reflect in the early morning sunlight. Great looker and a killer player, as you would expect from a classic fender guitar, lotsa vintage feel and mojo albeit a tad heavy.

Here a Rickenbacker 4003 bass in Mapleglo finish, made in USA in 2000s, and an example of a royal bass line with an illustrious rock history. The bass features a thru body neck construction and wings placed alongside the central neck. The Rickenbacker 4003, which replaced the 4001, which was issued first in 1961 and lasted till the 1980s. The 4003 differs in the truss rod design and has better wearing frets. The pickups are higher in output, and the bridge pickup, a so-called “horseshoe” pickup, was remodelled, featuring a more conventional design, although the “horseshoe”, is for looks only and removable. Just look at band recordings by Motörhead, Rush, Genesis and others, to fully appreciate the Rick sound. This bass is in exceptional condition snd lives in its Ricky hardcase.

Been resisting getting a Gibson Flying V for a long time. Well here another 2021, Gibson Flying  V. Barely a year old but what a guitar! Here I thought, Balancing problems, floating neck, diving body, uneven weight distribution. Pointy bits, etc. The list goes on. Saw this at On local FB and had to get it, great sound over a VOX AC30, clean etc, quite flat wide neck, hence plays wonderful, and also can make a real rocky racket in overdrive over my mini BlackStar.

The fret board is high quality fine grain ebony, and the low set up makes that plays easy and fluid. Guitar lives in its original hard case.

In 1974 the semi acoustic Yamaha SA-60 and SA-90 were released by Yamaha Music Corp., as their take on the ES-335, and at the time were Yamaha’s top of the range semi acoustics. High quality maple formed and moulded into a beautifully crafted semi acoustic. Quite a bit larger that’s the Gibson 335 , these guitar resonate well even when played unplugged. The large hollow body is complemented with a set neck, an ebony fingerboard, mother of pearl fret markers and finished off with gold hardware. A three-way toggle switch controls the two covered humbucker pickups. The headstock is quite large and finished off in a lovely finish.
