SOLD Forever associated with the Beatles, the J-160 E is one of the most famous guitars of all time. Interestingly in 1969 the body shape changed from slope shoulder to square shoulder, giving the guitar quite a different look, but still the same recognisable plugged...

1938 Kalamazoo KG14 – £1849
NEW ARRIVAL There are few acoustic guitars more wrapped up in music history than the Kalamazoo KG14. It's the model that Robert Johnson played in his first studio session in November 1936 before getting arrested for a bar room brawl and losing his guitar. When he...
1975 GIBSON J55 – £1399
NEW ARRIVAL Only available from 1973 – 1982, the J55 was designed to be an alternative to the better known square shouldered J45 and J50 models. Visually from the front it looks very similar, although the pearl logo is something usually seen on deluxe models, and the...
1969 GIBSON B15 – £1199
NEW ARRIVAL This is an all original, 1969 Gibson for a non vintage price. This all Mahogany B15 is a smaller bodied guitar – 00 size – which tend to be great for fingerstyle playing, although this is a great strummer as well. Considered by many to be an understudy to...
1939 – 41 Recording King Jumbo – £3499
NEW ARRIVAL As a maker of high-quality instruments, Gibson was hit hard by the onset of the Depression in the 1930s. So they created the now highly desirable Kalamazoo line of budget-priced instruments, and took on contract work for outside distributors. The most...
2008 Gibson CJ-165 – £1999
NEW ARRIVAL Only produced between 2006 - 2008, the CJ-165 provides an alternative to Gibson's medium bodied jumbos such as the J185. If you're looking for big tone in an easier to handle package, the Gibson CJ-165 may be the answer - the mini jumbo size and slightly...
1941 Gibson L30 – £1699
NEW ARRIVAL By 1941 the Gibson L30 featured sunburst back and sides, rather than plain brown, making it visually more appealing, and this is a beautiful example in a fantastic looking faded tobacco sunburst, with very desirable script logo. The tone is voiced...
2018 Gibson J45 Mahogany
SOLD In 2018 Gibson produced a limited edition of all Mahogany J45’s, but rather than put a sunburst finish on the top, like the Custom Shop J45 Mahogany, which harked back to the wartime Banner J45’s, they left it with a natural finish. Possibly one of the most...
1964 Gibson Country Western
SOLD For me this is one of the most iconic looking Gibson acoustic guitars - a square shouldered dreadnought with a three point pickguard, a honey coloured top, and eye catching pearl split parallelogram fingerboard inlays. Also it's unusual to see such a beautifully...
2014 Gibson L-1 1928 Blues Tribute – £2199
SOLD Gibson began offering a replica 1926 Robert Johnson L-1 a number of years back. But in 2014 they issued the orange-label 1928 L-1 Blues Tribute, which is a different creature altogether. It replicates visual and structural elements of the original instrument,...
