Danelectro DC12 – 12 String Guitar Black with Cream body sides – c.1998 with gig bag

Price: £325 – SOLD

Description:
Around 1954 Nathan Daniel founder of Danelectro guitars, started to introduce a line of electric guitars. His designs were simple, inexpensive, unique, quirky but very cool, and they included the aesthetically brilliant, excellent sounding lipstick pickups. By the late 60’s Daniel was looking to slow down, and he later sold Danelectro to MCA, staying on for a while as Danelectro’s president. In the 1990’s Steve Ridinger of the Evets Corporation acquired the Danelectro brand. They initially just wanted to concentrate on effects pedals however by request, they started bringing out some guitar reissues. The reissues started around 1998.

This guitar built in Korea, we believe it was from the first production of the DC 12 guitars, built between 1998 and 2002. These I have been informed by Danelectro collectors to be argued as the best era of reissue guitars!

Many great players have enjoyed the different sounds you can get from these guitars, and you should definitely check out the clip on YouTube where Jimmy Page, using his Danelectro DC-2, shows Jack White & Edge how he came up with the Kashmir chords (link: https://youtu.be/ODidAgdL40Y).

The guitar is in good overall condition for an instrument enjoyed since it was built! The guitar has no visible dents or dings on the front or back however on the side of the guitar it has some areas with marks (on the cream areas), these are shown in the pics and video. Please note that these are purely cosmetic. The volume and tone pots are slightly scratchy, but these are only scratchy when the controls are being operated, and not whilst the guitar is being played.

The guitar has been recently had a setup, making various small adjustments to lower the action and to make the guitar sing, this included a fretboard condition, and being re-strung with a new set of D’Addario nickel wound XL strings (10-46) gauge.

I can assure you if this becomes your new axe, you will not be disappointed and the envy of many!

The guitar comes with a padded gig bag (Boston Bags & Straps).

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Condition: Used but in good condition.

Epiphone Les Paul Standard in Cherry Sunburst 2005.

Price: £335 – SOLD

Description:
The Les Paul is an iconic guitar used by many guitar heroes over the years. This is a lovely example of the beautiful, expertly constructed, Epiphone Les Paul, made in 2005. This guitar was made in Qingdao (elektrisch) factory in China during May 2005, and has been well looked after, a real case queen.

It has been recently had a full setup, making various small adjustments to lower the action and make the guitar sing, this included a fretboard condition, pots & switch being cleaned, re-strung with a new set of D’Addario nickel wound XL strings (9-46) gauge.

The guitar remains in great overall condition with loads of life left in the frets, the only thing to note is that the guitar took a small knock to the front top side which has now been sympathetically filled and polished however it is still slightly visible. This is purely cosmetic and doesn’t affect the playability or sound in any way. I have shown this in the pictures and videos, and this chip repair is barely noticeable and smooth to the touch.

The guitar has been well looked after and is brilliant condition for a guitar built over 20 years ago!

Fender USA Stratocaster 1987 in Olympic White Maple Fingerboard – Rare EE Serial No.

Price: £1,100 SOLD

Description:
This is an iconic, beautifully balanced, easy to play, great sounding guitar played by the greats such a Hendrix, Clapton, Gilmore etc.

In 1985 CBS sold Fender to a group of Fender employees backed by private investors, and they opened the flagship US factory and headquarters in Corona, California. This guitar was made in the US in 1987 (CTS pots dated), in the Corona factory, and it was made for the export market, hence the EE serial number. The EE serial numbered models are quite sort after, as rumour has it that Custom shop parts were used in the production of these models, and the EE serial number models are well known for their exceptional build quality.

This beautiful example has mojo oozing out of it! This is a vintage guitar now aged 38, and like a good wine, it is only getting better in time.

These guitars are not so easy to date however the year of production has been verified by the dating of the CTS pots (as shown in the pics).

The guitar has a lovely feeling neck, easy to play and the fingerboard is in excellent shape with plenty of life left in the frets. The action is low and the guitar has been recently had a full setup, to make the guitar sing, and been re-strung with a new set of D’Addario nickel wound XL strings (9-46) gauge. The TBX tone control had a slight crackle when being turned however this has been almost entirely eliminated with some switch cleaner and is now hardly noticeable and was not worthwhile replacing.

The guitar has been played and enjoyed and bears the marks typical of a guitar of its age, (all shown in the pictures).

It comes with its original Fender case.

Don’t miss out on this fabulous vintage piece of Fender history!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Condition: Used but in good overall condition.

The Les Paul is an iconic guitar used by many guitar heroes over the years. This is a nice example of the expertly constructed, Epiphone Les Paul, made in 2006.  This guitar was made in QingDao (elektrisch) factory in July 2006.

It has been recently had a full setup, making various small adjustments to lower the action and make the guitar sing, this included a fretboard condition, pots being cleaned and the guitar re-strung with a new set of D’Addario nickel wound XL strings (9-46) gauge.

Marshall Lead 12 (MK1) – Modified to allow for an external cab to be connected.

Price: £110

Description:
The legendary Marshall Lead 12 is a phenomenal little beast. It was styled like its JCM800 series brother’s & sisters, and packs both nice clean sounds together with that iconic Marshall Lead sound!

This amp has been modified so that you can switch between the internal speaker or plug in an external cab.

The Marshall Lead 12 has become sought after as ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons admitted it was one of his favourite amps for studio tones and he used this on the Recycler album, these have built up a cult status in recent years. They have a very close tone to a Marshall JTM/JCM.

It’s a perfect amp for direct or low volume recording, playing in the bedroom or even for live sets.

You have tone for days, everything from a slight clip to full on overdrive.

Serial No. 03150R

Please note that when connecting an external speaker, the external speaker cabinet should match the Impedance of the internal speaker in order to avoid any issues. In this instance that is 8ohms. Whilst it may be possible to use an external speaker cabinet ‘one step down’, this we understand will make the amp run hot, and will eventually make the amp overheat and ultimately fail, causing irreparable damage to parts.

Condition: Used

Shipping available.
