These models were made from Agathis (Asian mahogany) for the body and likewise with a mahogany set neck, rosewood fretboard with split mother of pearl position markers, Chrome Hardware and Tuning pegs in Gotoh style, with a plain stoptail. The sound is comes from 2 Humbucker pickups, with black surrounds. Yamaha SG-500s were made in translucent red and black during the period 1976-79 and were good solid guitars in their own right.

Interestingly, this hasty3 little crown inlay in the face of the headstock, which featured on a number of LPs andLP DCs during 2004-2006.

Gibson LP Supreme from 2012. Since the arrival of a sunburst finish on its carved maple top in 1958, the Gibson Les Paul Standard has been considered one of the most sought after electric guitars. Occasionally examples of these guitars from 1958-60 turn up showing off figured wood under ‘burst finishes, setting a standard for aficionados. This Gibson Les Paul Supreme in a cool tiger eye finish emulates that a bit. Here we have a 2012 flame top in translucent black built from mahogany, maple and ebony fingerboard. Unlike other Les Paul models, there are no back plates for access to electrics etc, and neither is there a pick guard. The electrics have been applied via the enlarged jack socket cavity and via the pick up routes. The headstock also has an decorative globe motif. All in all a cool guitar. Guitars lives in its fitted case.

On show a 2002 Gibson Explorer Pro in a Flame Amber finish, a limited edition featuring an ebony fingerboard and a sleek, flat body. This guitar boasts an amber two-piece book-matched flame top, a bound, small-bodied Explorer with Les Paul Custom-style inlays on the ebony fingerboard, and a cherry red finished mahogany back, sides, and neck. The neck has a great feel, reminiscent of the slim ’59 profile, wide with large frets. Aesthetically pleasing, this 100% original, unaltered guitar includes the original hard shell case and paperwork. Despite its angular look, it is well-balanced and plays smoothly. Such Explorers have contributed to the iconic sound of U-2. Created in 1957, Explorers, along with Flying Vs and the scarce Modernes, are now sought-after collectibles.

Here we have a 1993 Fender American Stratocaster Plus in Tobacco Sunburst. This is a Fender Strat with Lace Sensors pick ups for reduced hum and guitar feedback. (Lace Sensors are true single-coil pickups; that are different from classic single coils. The main difference is that, like the pickups used on the old Fender Jags, the coil is surrounded by metal barriers which are designed to reduce electro-magnetic interference such as power line hum by way of shielding the coils). Defo one of the Strats. Very responsive guitar and easy to play. Lovely tobacco sunburst aged coloured finish with a rosewood fingerboard. Good condition, vintage vibe. there are no significant marks or dents. The guitar lives in its Fender hard-case.
