Beautifull 1968/69 Gold Top, bought in 2015 from Nottingham Vintage Guitars, who are happy to vouch for the authenticity of this fine instrument. It has the medium tenon, original tuners, the glorious original P90 pick-ups, all original electronics/caps/switches/knobs, one-piece body with maple cap, three-piece neck, original case, etc. Inspection is welcome from genuine buyers. At some point a very long time ago a better-quality Gibson Tune-o-matic bridge was installed, and the body refinished to cover the marks in the paint from the old bridge. The jack plate has been replaced with a chrome one. One of the original tuners (D string) is very slightly bent, but it still works perfectly, so no point in replacing it in my opinion, as better to maintain as much originality as possible. The guitar has a nice low action with no fret buzz. It plays and sounds exactly as such an iconic Les Paul should. Any questions, please send me a message. Collection only from LE12. I will not ship this guitar, as it is too special to risk any damage regardless of insurance.

This Bell & Howell cab with Weber Classic 10” alnico speaker was originally designed for movie sound stages. It works especially well with the alnico Weber speaker, which is very close to the sweet and clear old Jensen and CTS speakers used by Fender in the ‘50s and ‘60s. I am also selling a small guitar amp head, which has been converted from a 1950s USA hifi amp (see my other listings). This head pairs especially well with this B&H cab and Weber speaker. You can buy the cab with the head for £300. Any questions, please send me a message. Collection preferred from LE12 or I can ship the cab insured for £15 and I can ship the head insured to mainland UK for £25. The two shipped together may be a bit cheaper.

The head is based on an American HiFi amp believed to be from the ‘50s. It has been converted into a guitar amp, estimated to be about 5w. It performs very much like a Fender Champ but with slightly quicker break-up into overdrive. This amp has great tone, thanks to the very transparent RCA 6SG7 pre-amp valve, paired with a warm 6V6GT power-amp valve, Two spare valves, for the pre-amp and power-amp stages, are included with the sale. I am also selling a Bell & Howell cab with Weber Classic 10” alnico speaker (see my other listings). The cab was originally designed for movie sound stages. It works especially well with the 10” alnico speaker and with this amp head. You can buy the head with the cab for £300. Any questions, please send me a message. Collection preferred from LE12 or I can ship the head insured to mainland UK for £25 and I can ship the cab insured for £15. The two shipped together may be a bit cheaper.

NB. Now SOLD elsewhere. Thanks for looking.

NB. Now SOLD elsewhere. The legacy of the legendary Leo Fender, G&L Guitars continues to produce exceptional instruments in the 21st Century, closely adhering to its iconic founder's vision. A cornerstone of their electric guitar lineup, the Fullerton ASAT Special is a US-made Telecaster-style guitar that fully embraces vintage styling and modern functionality in equal measure. Finished in Gloss Black with a dark red Tortoise scratch plate and rosewood board, this beautiful instrument is suitable for all music styles, thanks to its versatile and unique pickups and highest-quality build, components, and woods. This one is a genuine beauty and sounds/plays/looks a dream! Construction The G&L ASAT Special features a Swamp Ash body, which delivers a balanced sound with warm lows, crisp highs and lots of natural resonance. Its light weight is another advantage, making this guitar a perfect option for live performance. The ASAT's bolt-on Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard offers a bright, yet warm and snappy response, giving notes plenty of bite when needed and upper mid-range vibrancy. This guitar can easily cut through a mix and delivers great tone across all settings. The neck profile is a comfortable C-shape and plays fast as you want, it feels modern and vintage at the same time! The fingerboard is vintage at 7 ½” radius and it has 22 medium jumbo frets. Keeping both modern and old-school camps happy, this fret size allows you to easily add vibrato to lead lines without hindrance. Electronics Boasting G&L's signature Leo Fender-designed MFD pickups, these innovative single-coils utilise ceramic magnets and iron pole pieces to provide ultra-clear and articulate sounds, with low-noise too. As the Jumbo versions of G&L's standard single-coils, these pickups have a slightly fatter sound with a more-punchy mid-range. They can drive an amp hard or roll-off for plenty of different sweet tones. They are a lot like classic P-90s. Responding well to your playing dynamics, the bridge pickup has a super-sweet top-end that sparkles with clean settings. Add overdrive, and things will get far more gnarly! Flick to the neck single-coil and you'll attain smooth jazz-style tones, projecting a bold low-end with more contained highs. Move the pickup selector switch to the middle, and you'll get the best of both worlds. Hardware Fitted with G&L's 'Saddle-Lock' bridge, this ergonomically engineered design features a clever mechanism that essentially stops the string saddles from moving. This ensures that they are evenly spaced for consistent distance between the strings, and in contact with one another to improve the instrument's sustain. The ASAT's 100% natural bone nut also enhances string vibration, whilst allowing them to glide freely so that they don't snag when performing string bends. With all these thoughtful appointments, it's clear that the G&L USA ASAT Special is a pro-standard guitar. Specifications Construction: Bolt-on Scale: 25 1/2" Pickups: Leo Fender-designed Jumbo G&L MFD Single-coils Body Wood: Swamp Ash Neck Wood: Hard-Rock Maple w/ Rosewwod Fingerboard Neck Profile: G&L Modern Vintage with 7 1/2" Radius Nut: 100% Natural Bone Frets: 22 Medium Jumbo Tuning Keys: 12:1 Ratio, Sealed-back Bridge: Leo Fender-designed G&L Saddle-Lock w/ Chrome-plated Brass Saddles Controls: 3-position Pickup Selector, Volume, Tone Case: original G&L Hardcase This is guitar is in excellent working condition with no issues and has been well looked after. I have owned it for about 15 years and only gigged it about 10 times. The serial number suggests it was made in around 2000; but it is notoriously difficult to date G&Ls precisely. It comes in its original G&L case, with case candy. Any questions please send me a message. Collection only from Mountsorrel, LE12.
