P.O.A Please contact the store for more info Tel: 0114 267 6030
This guitar comes with its original hardcase with maroon lining!!
Rare walnut finish, original patent no humbuckers, slightly narrower neck width which was standard in the early 70's, this is an absolutely gorgeous sounding, playing, and looking guitar.
Rarely do these guitars surface in this superb condition!!!!!
This is one of the Wizard's favourite guitars and presently lives in his home music room, it is such a gorgeous instrument!
All beleived to be totally original save for a set of replacement tuners fitted.
Gibson ES330 TDC c.1963, classic cherry red with a bigsby tremolo unit added, two p90 single coil pickups, and pure 'Chuck Berry' tone!
This is a rare and extremely playable guitar, and comes comlete with a Gibson hrd case.
This particular example has later pickups fitted, replacement scratch plate and tuners, which make it a lot less money to buy!
330's are the easiest semi's to play, very lightweight, resonant, versatile tones, and a great neck.
If you are feeling like treating yourself this would make a great pair with our 1963 ES335 listed here also!!
If you like semi's you will love this one!!!
Gibson Es335 TDN c.1992. Ltd edition in absolutely striking highly figured honey blonde flame maple.
Nickel hardware, P.A.F pickups., superb neck with a 60's profile.
Comes with original shaped hard case.
Finished in nitro cellulose, a very rare, beautiful, and collectable guitar!
Another one which presently lives with the Wizard at home, in rather exalted company, with many other examples of fabulous Gibson guitars.
You'll have to be a serious buyer to get him to part with gutars like these, 18 years old and in better than new condition!
P.O.A please contact us for more information
This is another of the guitars which we are famous for, a stunning and fabulous 1963 Gibson ES335 TDC, with the "Custom Made" plate behind the bridge and factory Bigsby tremolo unit.
There are very few of these ever available, this one is an absolute gem!!!!!
Replacement period correct tuners (the original tuning buttons crumbled away as in fact many of them do!)
All original cherry red cellulose finish, a wonderful wide flat neck, almost unique to the 63 model year (335 affectionado's could tell the year of manufacture in this case just by the neck!!
Patent "sticker" pickups, correct for the year, and almost certainly original, and which are identical in both appearance and tone to the slightly earlier PAF's ( the patent was granted in '61, but Gibson continued to use up all the old pick-up labels before they changed to a label giving the patent no. )
Bigsby tremlo unit; an acquired taste for many, but they give these guitars their unique flawless tone, and a great balance when used standing up with a strap!
Complete with Gibson hard case, slightly later we beleive but it may in fact be original.
This is an instrument we in all probability will never see again, in the last 5 years we have only ever obtained one other, and this one is in far better conditon than we can hope for far a guitar which is almost 50 years old and has been played all its life...........
Don't even think of coming in to ask if you can "have a go", you'll need deep pockets first!!!
Serious enquiries only please, another which the Wizard is reluctant to sell, and will only do so to an experienced player who will cherish it and care for it forever!!

Gretsch Country Gentleman 'Southern Belle' C.1982. This rare guitar is a new and unsold neck and body unit. Built in the USA and sent to the Mexico plant for assembly. It was overlooked and unused for 27 years! Never built into a guitar until we heard of its descovery and bought/imported it from a New York dealer. Now fitted with a 1960's USA Bigsby, Gibson Les-Paul custom humbuckers and a Gibson wiring layout. This is one of Gretsch's rarest of models.
Gretsch USA production ceased in Tennessee in 1979. All unsold and un-assembled units where dispatched to the previous Baldwin factory in Mexico. Previously the USA country Gentleman, The final run out model was called the Southern Belle (Chet Atkins owned the copyright to the previous name) Only ever built and released in 1983, with all USA parts. This particular guitar had no holes in,no hardware,pickups ect. But has its original finish, Ebony board, Frets and nut.

Two humbuckers and an acoustic pickup (your choice of two outputs) make this an amazingly versatile guitar. Retro styling from the highly regarded Trevor Wilkinson.
All solid hand built highly figured and "flame"flamed maple; slightly lighter than a normal ES335 semi acoustic, made to the highest of standards by the Tokai japan custom shop.
This is probably the only one for sale in the UK at present, vey few ever built due to the scarcity of both the solid flame maple of sufficient quality, and also of course the cost!!!
Seymour Duncan 59 nickel plated pickups, made in the USA; USA tone-pro's hardware, built and finished, in nitro-celluose, totally by hand;.
It has a wonderful tonal quality; slightly different to a normal Gibson ES335; a little more jazz/blues than out and out rock,if you like your music dark, warm, and exciting you're gonna love this baby!!
This one of the nicest guitars we've ever owned, it comes complete with a hi-quality arched top hard case, and will we are sure prove to be a superb investment
Unlikely another will be imported unless to specal order; have you got a few years to wait??
Serious enquiries only again I am afraid, we intend to keep this one in perfect unplayed condition until its lucky, and probably well off (!) new owner comes along!!
