Rare 50th anniversary Mexican stratocaster from 2004.
A couple of marks here and there and it doesn't have the original tweed gigbag but a great buy at just £525
As per usual, it is freshly set up with quality strings (Ernie Ball Super Slinky 9s) and plays great

Be quick, this is priced to sell quick

1999 Ibanez RG470 Made in Korea

I have just finished cleaning, restringing and setting up this lovely guitar but its sold before I had chance to post it here.

I do however have quite a few more similar guitars including LTD, Jackson, Charvel, Washburn, Dean, BC Rich aswell as more Ibanezes, some Japanese models too.

Fabulous Tokai Love Rock in a trans red quilted maple finish.

Excellent condition, this is one of the older, (approx. 25 year old) Korean made range which were between the cheaper Chinese range and the top Japanese range (which in my opinion they are closer to)
Very few of these about and at half (or less) of what a j*p model will cost, a great buy.

Freshly set up with 9s and a low action, its super easy to play.

£500

Yamaha Pacifica 112
Solid Alder body (same as a lot of USA Strats), these are finished to a very high standard and are one of the best guitars in their price range

Ideal for starting out but also far beyond.
Mix of single coil and humbuckers gives you a wide range of tones

As per usual, it has been expertly set up with a low action and quality strings, so it plays as good as you would expect something 10 times the price to

£160

Blonde with nice rear seeks sympathetic partner...

The greenest guitar in the shop?
Can't get any more sustainable and eco friendly than saving a guitar from going to landfill and then felling new trees and using resources to make a new one..

This Left handed Stagg acoustic has been thoroughly cleaned up, frets polished, set-up with an intonated saddle etc. It now sounds great, has a very low action and performs as well as a guitar many times its price
Just £60 (SOLD)
