Here a rare prototype #004 of a Gibson Solid body Barney Kessel model, in a stunning flame Rootbeer finish. Although this is a solid body guitar, this model is similar to the semiacoustic kessel models from the 1960s, designed with input of the legendary jazz guitarist Barney Kessel. Sporting a 2-vol, 2-tone arrangement and a 2-hum-bucker (burst-buckers) power plant, equipped with coil tapping on both tone pots, makes this an awesome tone machine. The guitar is similar to a Les Paul custom in its ability. This particular example was number 4 out of a trial run of the Kessel models that were produced for a very short period in 2011

Yamaha SG-2000 Custom Shop reissue 2009 in glossy vintage cream finish. Of the Yamaha SGs, this is no doubt one of the most sought after Yamaha SG-2000s. The SG-2000 models have their origins in the SG-175, with involvement of Carlos Santana and would go on to become one of the heaviest guitars around at the time due to the choice of woods and application of a brass block under the bridge. This is a pretty guitar, and despite the weight, the guitar plays like a dream, light and fluid, and has a super straight neck, allowing a set up with very low action. This model is fitted with coil taps, as that give it a massive tonal range. Guitar lives in a Hiscox case

Here another example from the excellent 1980/1 Gibson LP Standard Heritage series  Gibson Les Paul Guitar with cool looks due to its lightly flamed sunburst finish. Not a screaming loud flame finish but very nice maple top and a killer sound to boot due to the sought after Tim Shaw pickups. Anyway, for those who know the Gibson Les Paul Historic Heritage range, you will have seen some great examples of Gibson’s craftsmanship. However, this one is quality and like the purpose of the Heritage series they are close replica cousins to the 1958/9 Gibson LP series. An R8/9 prehistoric, close to the vintage original, in an early, 1980 reissue.
