1967 Gibson J45

1967 Gibson J45

SOLD  This 1967 J45 has one of the most beautifully faded cherry sunburst finishes I’ve seen, really eye catching, contrasting beautifully with the tortoise pickguard. Tonally it has a very familiar sound, similar to lots of 60’s and 70’s singer songwriter recordings,...

1958 Gibson Country Western  –  £5999

1958 Gibson Country Western – £5999

NEW ARRIVAL  60's Gibson slope shouldered dreadnoughts are fantastic guitars, but the jump to a 50's model is incredible, in fact I could run out of superlatives describing it's sound. So let's just say it's everything you could want from a vintage Gibson, hugely...

1957 Gibson LG2 3/4

1957 Gibson LG2 3/4

SOLD  This is a great example of a very hard to find model only made between 1949 and 1962, the model famously played by Arlo Guthry. As a 3/4 size guitar it doesn't have a huge bass response, but this allows the guitar to excel around the mid and treble ranges, and...

1937 Gibson L00

1937 Gibson L00

SOLD  The L00 is probably Gibson’s best know blues guitar, and to find a 30’s example is becoming very difficult. This is one of the best sounding examples I've played, full of character, vibe, and mojo. When you pick the guitar up you soon realise why it's been...

1974 Gibson J50 Deluxe – £1599

1974 Gibson J50 Deluxe – £1599

NEW ARRIVAL  With prices of 60’s J50’s becoming very expensive, early to mid 70’s examples have become the more affordable way of getting a vintage Gibson dreadnought tone. It’s a classic example of the ‘workhorse’ guitar, and one of Gibson’s most iconic models. The...

2008 Gibson J185 EC  –  £1999

2008 Gibson J185 EC – £1999

NEW ARRIVAL  The J185 EC was only produced between 2006 - 2013, and is quite a rare find. The model now exists with Walnut back and sides - but this is the original spec with Flamed Maple. The J185 was originally produced to be a smaller, more comfortable version of a...

1964 Gibson B25  –  £2699

1964 Gibson B25 – £2699

NEW ARRIVAL  The Gibson B25 is the lesser known cousin of the LG2, replacing the better known model in 1962. LG2’s have become one of the most desirable post war small body Gibsons, and as such their prices have rocketed. So a B25 represents a more affordable way of...

1969 GIBSON J-160E

1969 GIBSON J-160E

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

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...
