I'll leave details of sold instruments on this page for a while as some people like to see the sort of things I get in. They are clearly marked as sold to avoid wasting people's time.

| Hayman 4040 bass **SOLD**
Jim Burns joined Ivor Arbiter in 1969 and formed Hayman. This 4040 was the only Hayman bass and dates from around '72/73 with design input from Bob Pearson, woodwork by Jack Golder and features "superflux" double-pole staggered pick-ups. This example is in good condition for its age. Rusty screws have been replaced, and old but non-correct Fender-style strap buttons replace the originals, which weren't very good. Fender-style domed knobs have been fitted. All other parts are original. The body has been professionally refinished some time ago, and is in excellent condition. The transparent perspex pickguard is in excellent shape. The neck and fingerboard are original. The frets have been recently reprofiled and repolished and are in excellent condition. The neck is straight and the guitar plays well with a low action. **Sorry, this guitar has been sold.** For more information, email here. Return to top of page |

Hofner Model 463 **WITHDRAWN**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 **Sorry, this guitar has been withdrawn from sale.** Return to top of page |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 **SOLD**
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. **SOLD** 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 |
