Wow - this one is special! Available now is this 2018 Gibson Memphis Custom Shop ES-355 Limited edition, finished in VOS Antique Walnut. This guitar is part of the limited run that Gibson made in 2018, only 100 pieces were ever produced. They don’t come up for sale often and I can see why, it’s an absolute stunner!
This guitar was made bespoke and bought new from Peach guitars in early 2018, and has only been lightly used at home since, never going out of the house. One owner from new, and from a pet+smoke free home.
Spec wise, the 3ply Maple/Poplar/Maple body combination provides an authentic and rich tone, with a modern weight relieved Maple centre block; it's super comfortable and well balanced. Thanks to the VOS nitrocellulose finish you get a sweet, organic sound and this thin lacquer will wear beautifully over time, just like the original models. The neck is something special, crafted from quarter-sawn Mahogany; it features a gorgeous bound Dark Rosewood fingerboard, embellished with Mother of Pearl Full Block inlays. With a rounded C profile, 22 medium jumbo frets, a 12" radius and 24.75" scale length, this is a serious player's guitar.
A pair of Memphis Historic Spec humbuckers deliver those classic tones, deep, rich and resonant they offer great clarity. These PAF style pickups are slightly underwound and feature unbalanced coils for a truly historic sound. Hand wired with matched 550k pots, Orange Drop capacitors and a new mono varitone switch, this guitar is an unfiltered tone machine, and with a Maestro Tremolo system, you can add some lush textures to your playing without compromising on tuning stability or intonation.
Has been recently professionally setup and plays like a dream, action on low E 1.9mm and high e 1.3mm at the 12th fret. Comes complete with original hard case as shown in photos. Please do view the photos carefully as they form an integral part of the condition report.

Beautiful fender custom shop 1960 reissue Stratocaster, heavy relic finished in custom colour candy apple red metallic.
Available now is this super cool original 1971 Gibson Les Paul Custom, finished in Cherry Sunburst. This guitar was made in the Kalamazoo factory in early 1971 and is in overall good condition for its age, it’s lived a life over the last 55 years but has no breaks or repairs. It was imported from the states by the original owner in the early ‘80s and it was used touring before being bought by the second owner in the ‘90s who has owned it since but has not played it very much at all.
Spec wise, you get the "pancake" mahogany/maple body with a carved maple cap, paired with a Three-piece mahogany neck with a slim to medium C profile and a bound ebony fretboard with 22 frets. Electrics wise, you get Two Patent Number "T-Top" Humbuckers with gold covers which sound great with their bright, articulate, and balanced tone, perfect for that ‘70s Led Zeppelin or ZZ top sounds. Controls are 2 Volume, 2 Tone and 3-way toggle switch as standard, and all pots date to 1971. Serial number is 173714, confirmed and authenticated by gibson and matched to all 4 pot codes. Not sure where the marks at top of headstock came from, looks almost like very old burn marks from a previous life in the states?
It has had the tuners swapped at some point in its life but apart from that, it’s an all original rock and roll monster, ready to rock right into your house! This guitar has been set up with ernie ball 10 gauge strings and plays well with low action and no buzz. Comes with the original hard case as shown in photos. Weight is 9.28lbs
Seize this amazing opportunity to pick up a killer looking and sounding guitar at a fraction of the price! Any questions please ask!
