This guitar was imported from the US at the price of £1400, it has a tangerine red finish and a creamy tobacco pickguard, pickups and toggles to give it a real vintage vibe. The guitar has been setup for use without the tremolo thereby adding sustain. The guitar can do the vintage strat sound but it can also do meaty and won't sound as thin/glassy when its clean if you make use of the tone control. I will include a new set of Ernie Ball Regular 10 gauge strings upon sale.

Here are a couple of Vids, you can see a left handed version of mine in the rack on the first video:

Thank you :), tis indeedy! But I don't have an amplifier to play it through :). I've been going to my guitarist friends house to play it through a Fender Champ XD and a Blackstar HT40 and it sounds fab but the reason for the sale is so I can get my own! Neither the G&L or the ESP have any issues - just desperately need an amp!

[quote name='mcgraham' post='1165618' date='Mar 17 2011, 12:05 PM']Have you checked out the Blackstar 1W series? Ideal for home practice and great tone. Also only around £100, so you could get away with keeping both the guitars.[/quote]

Ooo thankyou I hadn't seen one of those!! I'm glad I didn't buy one of those Vox headphone plugins!! I will be getting one of those in the near future and i'm aiming to get an amp towards 30-50w in the distant future for band practice. Unfortunately I was planning to fund myself with a Government Grant on my PGCE teaching course next year but as those have now gone i've gotta push for a sale on both and keep my fingers crossed I can keep my Charvel!

This has a 50's Vintage style Fender neck for those who are asking! I'm a precision bass guy with small hands and I prefer wider necks because I tend to trip over my own fingers doing chord shapes etc, its fast another for me because I don't shred on any of my guitars - Judas Priest is fast enough for me :)

If I had the funds I would have had it away :)[/quote]

Thanks monquixote, it is a sterling example of a stratocaster and should be gone tomorrow if the potential buyer takes it. Will be missed! US G&Ls guitars like this are rare :)
