Absolutely loveeeeeely and fresh in today 🌱

Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom Limited Edition 1/50 - Faded To***co Burst VOS - 2010🧯🔥

Such a great looking guitar. Proper Ebony board, the mother of pearl fret markers are so vibrant and that colour just looks amazing in the VOS finish. Not too heavy at all for a Custom but it rings out forever.

It has a few small marks and the hardware has started pitting a little but it’s clearly not had a hard life at all 😍

£3299 - will be listed for sale online next week 🏡

NCG Bayou 🏹

Super excited to have this sick Nottingham City Guitars Bayou in stock!

Rather than our usual pre-owned offerings, this one of a kind handmade beauty is brand new and being sold on behalf of NCG

We recently had one of Andy’s older T-Style models in second hand, which led us to start talking! What became very apparent is that the NCG guitars are incredibly well made and just our style. We’re going to have one or two in-stock at a time, perhaps people will buy these off the shelf, or perhaps people trying these will lead to them do their own custom order.

We just want to help get these in to more people’s hands, because they’re some of the most fantastically made, thoughtfully designed and badass guitars we’ve tried.

This is resonant, versatile, inspiring and just one of the coolest guitars we’ve had our hands on. Get something handmade locally, for less than the price of a mid-range American F*nder

Nottingham 🤝 Derby

£1690 - come down and try it, we’ll list in online soon too 🏡
