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...

2005 Gibson Original Jumbo – £2999
NEW ARRIVAL The Original Jumbo is one of Gibson’s most important acoustic guitars in their illustrious history. As the name suggests, it’s pretty much their first dreadnought model. This slope shoulder guitar is an excellent example of the attention to detail these...
2005 Gibson Advanced Jumbo – £2199
NEW ARRIVAL The Advanced Jumbo is a fine example of why Gibson’s reissue series is so important. The AJ was first introduced in the 1930’s, and only 300 were made. So very few people will ever have the privilege of playing one. When Gibson reintroduced the model in...
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...
2017 Gibson J35 – £1599
NEW ARRIVAL Introduced in 1936 the J-35 was the predecessor to the iconic J-45, until production stopped during World War II. Other than the occasional limited edition, Gibson resurrected the J-35 as a full production model in 2012. It follows the original specs,...
2003 Gibson J200 1960’s Authentic – £3499
NEW ARRIVAL The Gibson J200 is one of the most loved acoustic guitars ever made. Its signature bright / full sound has been captured on countless records. With Gibson’s J200 1960’s Authentic, made in limited numbers, they tried to make a modern J200 with an authentic...
2018 Gibson J45 Mahogany – £1799
NEW ARRIVAL 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...
1964 Gibson Country Western – £3499
NEW ARRIVAL 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...
2016 Epiphone Olympic Masterbilt – £449
NEW ARRIVAL As part of Epiphone’s Masterbilt reissue series, the Olympic is one of the most interesting. Of all 30’s Epiphone archtops, the Olympic has become the most desirable - simply because David Rawlings plays one. And because of this, original 30’s examples...
