We look back at the Stratocaster’s transformation during the 1950s as it ascended to stratospheric success…

How a handful of 1960s British bluesmen helped Gibson’s most iconic guitar rise to prominence…

1964 Gretsch 6131 Jet Firebird. Surely one of the coolest looking guitars, this one is a great players Gretsch. It has had a headstock repair at some time but otherwise it’s a great guitar and is loads of fun to play.

1959 Gibson ES-330TD. Lovely players ES-330TD just in and not on the website quite yet. Featherweight with 2 strong P90s and a neck that you won’t want to put down. Feel free to give us a call in the shop on 01225 463 777 for any info about the guitar.

1936 Gibson L-75. A pretty rare model, the L-75 spec changed a few times in its short production, this one being a 16inch with a round sound hole and Archtop. Only in production from 1932 until 1939 and only in this spec from 1935. We had a 1935 example not long ago that sold very quickly, anyone who missed out get in contact with us in the shop.

1958 Gibson Les Paul Junior 3/4. One of 181 made in 58. This thing rocks. Very clean with a nice strong P90. Set up with 12s it feels solid and easy to play. Call the shop for additional info and pricing.

1963 Fender Super. 40watts, 2×10, brown faceplate with rough brown tolex and wheat grill cloth, 6G4-A circuit and harmonic tremolo. It’s not going to win any beauty contests but who cares when it sounds as good as it does!
