On this page, I'll post good quality, interesting or unusual electric guitars, archtops and basses for sale. Although I occasionally buy and sell (apparently I'm better at buying than selling!) I'm also happy to post commission sales. The contact link will put you in direct contact with the owner.

Hofner Model 463 **WITHDRAWN**
Identifying old Hofners is always something of a dark art, but this looks like a Model 463, which was made for the European market rather than being imported into the UK. Like all Hofners, they could be ordered in different configurations, including this three-pickup style. They were made over a long period from the early 1950s, and the best guess is that this one is from the late 1960s or early 1970s. Non-original machines, but generally in very good condition. Complete with a (non-original) fitted hard case. **Sorry, this guitar has been withdrawn from sale.** Return to top of page |

Aria Pro II TA60WA **SOLD**
This is a late model Aria Pro II TA60WA semi-acoustic, probably Korean-made in the early 1990s. They're not very valuable, but are very playable. This one's had a refret and replacement nut, and all the pots (which were pretty nasty) have been replaced with better-quality US-made units. Complete with the original fitted hard case. **Sorry, this guitar has been sold.** Return to top of page |

| 1966 Fender Mustang
1966 Fender Mustang. The body has been refinished in red nitrocellulose. All the parts are original, with the exception of some of the screws and the tremolo arm (a replacement vintage replica arm is included, but is not shown in the pictures). This guitar has an excellent setup and playing action. The frets are original, but have been stoned and repolished. Great sound. £875 ono. For more information, email here. Return to top of page |

| 1975 Fender Telecaster **SOLD**
Classic 1975 Fender Telecaster. Body refinished in black nitrocellulose. Neck refretted and refinished in an aged nitrocellulose to match the face of the headstock. Excellent setup and playing action. The bridge and knobs display some wear, and the bridge saddles have recently been replaced. A great player's instrument, at a considerable saving on the cost of a similar Tele with the original finish. **Sorry, this guitar has been sold.** Return to top of page |

| Hofner 176 Solid (Galaxie) **SOLD**
What we bought in the 1960s if we couldn't afford a Fender Strat. This is not in original condition but it HAS been thoroughly restored and is a great playing instrument. Professional refinish, rebound neck, profiled and repolished frets. This was Hofner's attempt to outdo the Jaguar and Jazzmaster. Strictly speaking, this is a European or US model 176 Solid - the Galaxie was the UK and Commonwealth version distributed by Selmer, and it lacked the 5-way tone switch on the treble side. It's the one on the right in the first pic, by the way. The one on the left is a Galaxie in original condition which was sold recently. **Sorry, this guitar has been sold.** Return to top of page |

| Martin EM-18 **WITHDRAWN**
Yes, it really is a Martin. You won't see many of these around. Designed by Martin's Dick Boak, very nicely made, but distinctly strange. **Sorry, this guitar has been withdrawn from sale.** Return to top of page |
