This is what it should have been < Back Matsumoku JPJ-9 Price £945 | SOLD Add to Cart Chat with Us Missed out on this model? Talk to us for a rebuild! The idea here is to take the opportunity to unlock a huge tonal variety and give you traditional tones, powerful tones and some tones of your own. No batteries required, no complex pre-amps, just making the most of a lot of very good pick-ups. Nice and light (3.9kg; 8lb 10oz), balanced and plenty of fret left, the action is highly adjustable from super slick theatrics to rattle free slap - I have it in the middle so plenty of both can be achieved. The rod has plenty of adjustment and is now fairly flat, but releasing it half a turn will get a decent bow without rattling the top frets. Lots of useable flexibility from this bass - not just a palette of every tone possible, just a selection of really good ones and a lot more intuitive than rows of mini-switches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAtRMd72ptI Tucked away on pages 20 and 21 of the 1986 Aria Pro-II catalogue was a new range - the Diamond Series. 2 guitars and 2 basses with specifications that seem like they were the spiritual successor to the Westones that had ceased production, but were still in demand. The JPJ-3 was the proper wild one - using the same pick-ups as the older Concord II and Thunder basses - amusingly but accurately titled Hard Puncher, this one punched and kept kicking. 3 pick-up basses are rare - a few boutique builders offer them with Strat control philosophy and a few folk have customised their favourite basses to try and just need one bass for a gig, and ended up with a scratchplate full of switches and a good memory to remember how to get sounds on the fly. The JPJ-3 had one major flaw in my opinion. The controls are similar to Gretsches where you have a choice of methods of how to reduce the volume. Even back then, a 3 way blade and a couple of push pulls would have unlocked the potential, but all you had was a blend, 2 volumes and a tone. This JPJ-3 keeps the original magnificent pick-ups and features a Freeway switch that has 2 banks of 3; and a further option for 3 more tones. The toggle has a left and right movement too. Point it towards the headstock and the upper position gives you the traditional Precision pickup. In the middle we have an alternative Precision tone where the two outer-most pick-ups deliver a slightly wider more open tone - still punchy, but more mellow. In the lower position we have the bridge pick-up like a Jazz bass. Move the toggle towards the bridge and in the upper position we have both precision pick-ups in series - shoulder barging a Music Man or similar big pole humbucker out of the way. The sound is as huge as you'd expect. In the middle we have both Precision pick-ups in parallel which offers a calmer very mellow open tone. In the lower position we have the alternative Precision pick-up and the bridge pick-up in series to provide a huge growl. There's more: if you pull up the volume control, the phase of the alternative Precision pick-up is reversed and the series options suddenly take you into new territory. Unless you are rocking a mega-bucks Alembic, Phase reversal on basses gives a very empty 'clacky' sound that can easily get lost in the mix. Not so here, Stevie Wonder's Superstition no longer needs a keys player. There is more variety to chase with the tone controls as they alter the phase relationship without affecting the volume.

1978 Greco SE-700 Early Sixties, The ones that scared the hell out of Fender... < Back 1978 Greco SE-700 Early Sixties A783328 The Greco SE-700 was the premium big-headstock model of the range in the 1970s. It has a 2 piece body and the rosewood board gives it a real 70's look (despite the model name). The guitar retains it's original PU-119 (Excels) and they are every bit as good as their well deserved reputation suggests. Each of the 5 positions (including the middle on its own) has a distinctive character and there is no weak position amongst them and all respond well to subtle control changes on the guitar and the amplifier. The controls and switch are all original, in fact everything on this guitar other than the strings remains original - the bridge and tuners are all in great aged condition - most importantly perfectly functioning. At a fraction over 3.6kg (8lbs 0oz) this has "that perfect Strat" weight and feel to it - the aged white finish fading to cream gives it that authentic vintage touch too. It isn't completely flawless, there are signs of life, but nothing to detract. Study the photos, and contact us if you want to see this in more detail. The frets are good with plenty of life left; they are, according to the 2 gentlemen that attend to frets here, of that perfect age and state to be your best friend, and remain so for a fair few years before any remediation required. The serial Number on this one is A783328, a late January 1978 Fujigen build from the time they were really showing off to impress the boys from Corona prior to the partnership. A Fender guitar from this CBS era is hit and miss - there were some real howlers, and even the good ones are likely to have been upgraded by now. During this era, Fujigen and their contemporaries were just the opposite - getting better and better. This guitar feels like one of their very best. This SE-700 will put guitars twice its price to shame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX1HFDGssFc Price Availability £1,195 Sold Recommendation Enjoy as it is.

It may as well be Summer 1976. F763771 is a time-warp condition example - a white-glove job that only comes out for very special occasions.

Crystal clear Maxons and a perfectly functioning tremolo invite us to enjoy this guitar, but the condition scares us into gently placing it back in its case. This is a collector's dream.

Rickenbacker 4003 S/5 WhiteGlo 1986 Rick-o-Sound, < Back Rickenbacker 4003 S/5 WhiteGlo 1986 Rick-o-Sound ZA 0058 Here is a real rarity - a 5 string Rickenbacker with the traditional pick-ups and general look; and in a cream and black scheme; and with Rick-o-Sound . So many of these restrict you to a mono output, but this not only opens the door to those famous twin amped set-ups without resorting to more boxes on the floor, but also comes with the original stereo cable in the case. We know of only 2 guitars in this specification produced in 1986. We also believe that this is the guitar featured in the October 1986 ‘Making Music’ magazine and featured on the Rickenbacker stand at the 1986 BMF. It has been a one-owner guitar and a very reluctant sale. Without losing ourselves in a Rush concert, big music needs a big sound, and this is what this Rickenbacker gives. The Macca thud is there too, as is that 80's chorused muted howl depending on how much you turn the damper screws. It's all there with the added basement of the low 5th. The string spacing is demanding, but you’ll know this going in, and will adapt to all the clever things you'll end up doing on it. This is no museum piece - its seen plenty of action, and wasn't always put down gently. Unusually for a gracefully aging Rickenbacker, the switch doesn't crackle, and the scratchplate isn't broken. Please have a very good inspection of the photographs here, and request any further evidence of its condition you may wish to see. You have 4.3kg (9lbs 8oz) to wear - not as heavy as it looks. But it looks incredible - the WhiteGlo has become a very classy cream, and has become so very evenly unlike some from the 1970s. No binding on this one which gives it a very clean look and adds to its timeless charms. There is a decent road-worn case and plenty of life left in these strings. The vital statistic is of course the nut width - 1.75 inches, or 44.3mm. At the 12th, it is 2.12 inches, or 53.8mm. We offer this for collection from us at the Hall, or will happily ship it to you wherever you are once funds have cleared. Price Availability ON SALE! Click Buy button to reveal latest price.

1974 Greco SE-550N, Time warp Matsumoku Rarity < Back 1974 Greco SE-550N Pre-serial Number This is one of the rarest Greco models out there - along with the 480, this is one you will least likely find. Only featuring in the 1974 Kanda Shokai catalogue for half a year, after the 'Electric Sounds" range evolved into the "Electric Guitar" range. The 550 became the 600, and was essentially a model that used the nicest looking wood in their stock. This 550 features the more faithful copy of the vintage bridge, and it retains its cover too. This 550 has a less chunky neck, also a single piece of maple instead of the laminate 5 piece of earlier models. The board has a 9.5" radius; the nut is 41mm. The pick-ups are standard Maxon units governed by traditional 3 way switch and volume / tone functions and all work magnificently. Maxons are known for their low output airy bright snappiness that encourage Hendrix renditions, and stamp on the OD-1 and SRV repertoires take over. The overwhelming feature of this 550 aside from its rarity is the condition. It has been played, but has been meticulously cared for. Quite weighty at 3.89kg (8lbs 9oz), this may also remind you of a late 70s Fender. Like all Matsumoku necks, this one allows a super slick action, and is equally at home with a higher action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muKUEk_1Ivk Price Availability £975 1 at Ketteringham Hall Recommendation Just enjoy it as it is.

These basses seem to be coming back into fashion judging by the prices in the market at the moment.

Left Handed Gilmour tribute < Back Matsumoku アーレンス Price ££££ | SOLD Add to Cart Chat with Us Missed out on this model? Talk to us for a rebuild! Lefties get a bad hand - so much less choice. I built this guitar for a chap who was battling to find the sounds he was looking for from a Guild S-300-S; a lovely thing, but with a very limited sound palette. He had given up looking around guitar stores as no-one had the spec he wanted, or if they did, it was the wrong colour etc. Battled on with the Guild for 20 years. We discussed the ideal build and I set off in search of the ideal donor model. 2 arrived, one from Finland, the other from Japan - both variations of the incredibly rare Aria ST-500L. Both 1980 and produced within a few days of each other - perfect partners to build in tandem and compare configurations. Both were in fantastic condition but we selected the one with the most bodywork issues to use as the donor. The poly finish was stripped, and the hardware and electronics removed. The refinish in black nitro commenced and a variety of pick-ups ordered along with new scratchplates and hardware. Using the other guitar to evaluate the pick-ups, we eventually settled on a set of Full Monty single coils, and instead of an S-1 or sunken mini-switch we decided on a simple 5 way selector and neck volume blend control. The world was turned upside down in search of a Gotoh 510TS in left handed orientation, and one was located and flown across from USA. Lefty tuners were a little tricky too, but my normal suppliers had them. The completed rebuilt guitar was set upon by the finest luthier we have, and the new owner flew in from Germany to test, approve and take home. If there is a finer, better specified, and adorable lefty Gilmour tribute out there, I'd be surprised.

Westone Paduak I, Pure class. < Back Westone Paduak I 2074419 A good Westone Paduak I is usually a keeper - not many appear on the market because owners can't bear to part with them even after they have been replaced as working guitars by something more modern and versatile. This example stayed in Japan until last year, hung around on various auction sites until I saw it, and hammered the BID button. Perhaps the niche market that appreciates the Paduak was put off by the non-original pick-up - an F-450 being a pre-requisite for the appeal. The original pick-ups in Paduaks are great - no doubt, but the appeal to me has always been the neck and general feel of the guitar. Like a good old Esquire, your playing style will determine the versatility and picking gently over the upper frets can be as good as a selector nudge - sometimes better. The addition of a Lace Sensor Alumitone humbucker with the split and boost function is a brave move, but as it turns out, an inspired one. It does require a rethink for amp settings and any effects that may determine your sounds, the sound engineer will be furious with an unannounced flick of the boost switch; but what this guitar can do is simplify your set-up. Not this one - this one stays with us forever, but we are making more. This instrument has become the inspiration for a series of re-issued Paduaks we can't wait to let them loose on you.

Greco SE-800N, Putting the real thing to shame < Back Greco SE-800N D781380 These higher-end premium Grecos are no longer a well-kept secret. The SE-800 was the top of the tree for Grecos in 1978 - the really well-heeled could open the Project Series catalogue and order the SE-1000 and SE-1200, but the SE-800 was the discerning choice. A real 50's style replica - very slim C neck, light as a feather, small headstock and bright airy tones from the 3-way, the beautifully engineered DM-30 switch allowing those in-between sounds to be found without the aid of a matchstick. Just a couple of parking knocks to give its age away, this has obviously been cherished. This is a super-light guitar - just 3.15kg (just under 7lbs); the lightest 800 we have ever had. So, it looks fabulous, it feels fabulous - all the parts and components are original. The pick-ups are good old PU-100 units, so bright and airy and very keen to clip that AC30 or equivalent. The grade of steel used for the bridge and more importantly the block, is higher than that seen on lower models - the ringing sustain from this guitar needs to be experienced to be believed. Whilst it is tempting to install the PU-119 higher output pick-ups, or something boutique, don't. The original PU-100s suit this guitar perfectly. Played side by side with a 1978 SE-500, we have to conclude that a higher grade bridge, the density of this higher grade ash makes a huge difference to these PU-100 units. This is a totally different class of guitar. It has balance, the handshake, the dynamics that even our resident US Professional and Vintage II Fenders can't match. Early 50's style neck, a 7.25" radius, Schaller tuners, 8 hole creamier than cream plate - this is one of the collection, or that special one you daren't take on the road. Or take it, that's what they were for after all. But finding a 1978 guitar in this condition that feels this delicious, for this kind of price is nothing short of miraculous. I bet a Fender will be a grand more than this one, and that will have a 3 bolt neck, and have a massive headstock.

An easy introduction to vintage guitars < Back Matsumoku No.43 Price £695 | SOLD Add to Cart Chat with Us Missed out on this model? Talk to us for a rebuild! This is a very cost effective way into DreamBuild ownership - all guitars sold as DreamBuilds have to be very special and personal. As we rebuild and re-specify these special guitars, we are left with some very good original parts - some customers want to keep original components with their upgraded guitars, others are only interested in the finished product. The later group of folk have allowed us to produce this guitar. This is a guitar with a few tricks up its sleeve. Based around an early 1973 Fujigen built Ibanez 2375, this features the chunkier 5-piece neck unique to 1973. We named this after the handwritten production line data in the neck pocket and pick-up cavities. This body appears to be a from the prototype line which would also explain the clearcoat finish over a body that would under normal circumstances be painted. The pancake body construction makes itself obviously know, and the thin slab on top has charm even where the contour of the body explains why it didn't make it into production! Originally equipped with short fat Maxons, we have upgraded them to Excel PU-119 pick-ups from a 1977 SE-700 - the first Greco model to feature a 5 way selector therefore appropriate middle pick-up construction to work in parallel mode. 2 new CTS premium pots govern master volume and neck tone, and a push push knob controls the middle and bridge tone. A new CRL 5 way switch provide the normal Strat tones if the push push knob is down, but give it a tap when the neck pick-up is selected and it brings in the bridge coil in series for a big fat humbucker sound. In the neck and middle position, the middle coil joins in parallel to the series connected neck/bridge. This gives a thicker more powerful "in between" tone. These series tones could be heard on the American Deluxe. The addition of these tones to the pallette is in keeping with this vintage Strat style guitar - it is not attempting to be a humbucker guitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tq-0arS93c The guitar retains its early Gotoh bridge - even though it looks rather agricultural, it does the job adequately, and the nice solid block gets a solid acoustic ring usually only experienced with very expensive guitars. Another clue that this guitar served as a prototype is the presence of the infamous "star tuners" - only fitted to the most expensive guitars at the time. They retain their quality solid feel, and enable very stable tuning. Whilst yellow pick-up covers and knobs won't be to everyone's taste, we think they make a nice change from established colour schemes - yellow always cheers us up. It is pure vintage MIJ in feel and balance, and at 3.88kg (8lbs 9oz) a little weightier than the more famous and later Fender JVs. A 9.5" radius and a 42.5mm nut make this very comfortable and a very low action can be achieved. Details The Look Shiny, Natural, aged nakedly hiding nothing, and shiny metal, and yellow. You won't lose it. Headstock Still featuring its customized rod cover - adopt the name Kenny Ollerenshaw as your stage persona? Ibanez wasn't always such a fashionable word to have on a Strat, a previous owner was tired of being unfashionable. We have removed the handwritten and incorrectly spelt wishful thinking and put on one of ours - after all, the wood was conditioned and supplied, and the neck constructed by Matsumoku. Neck Chunky C - none of the super skinny JV here - a decent handful. And a Harayama 5-piece. Pick-ups 3 x PU119 otherwise known as Excels. Very well regarded pick-ups, these originating from a 1977 SE-700 Bridge Gotoh original style - and it works well. Controls CRL 5-way switch, a CTS 250 master volume, a CTS 250 neck tone and an Alpha push-push middle and bridge tone control that activates the series mode pick-up configuration.

1975 Greco SE-500B, A beautiful late Matsumoku built Strat < Back 1975 Greco SE-500B Pre-serial Number This is very late Gneco, possibly one of the last before the spelling improved a few months later. The date on the scratchplate is January 1975, the pots are 500k so this is real crossover model. Most surviving SE-500s from this era are sunburst or natural, we occasionally find a white one, but finding a black one is much harder. This mid-range model of Greco was a popular work-horse instrument and many arrive here with an amazing road worn patina, but still perfectly functional. This SE-500 has led a very charmed life - only a few parking knocks to speak of - the plastics and neck condition indicate it was stored in its case between uses. This is the model that featured that very thoughtfully designed truss rod cover in the scratchplate - a thorough improvement over the previous open area that invited dust and grime into the pick-up cavities. The original Maxon pick-ups are in rude health - providing that slightly scooped yet biting tone - they sound amazing with a little crunch. These pick-ups have been thoroughly checked and their leads reflowed to the base plate to ensure their output for another 50 years. Plugging into a little practice amp is very rewarding - the more drive you give it the better! Through the bigger valve amps here just makes it better - bordering on addictive. They don't pretend to be high fidelity precision definition units - these are growly bright and fun; the tone controls will give you a warmer cleaner sound if you need. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U80p1_K-NY This guitar is approaching its 50th birthday and I see no reason why it won't go on for another 50. It comes in its original Greco case, has its original tremolo arm, and user guide (in Japanese).

1973 Greco SE-430 No.2, Soulful vintage Matsumoku at its finest. < Back 1973 Greco SE-430 No.2 Pre Serial Number Another glorious 1973 built Greco with the 5-piece construction neck - so special that some folk have asked us to build guitars around them. During this period in Matsumoku's history it wasn't faithful accuracy to Fender dimensions that counted, it was creating a strong stable comfortable neck. We have never seen a 1973 neck that needed any adjustment after 50 years - this one included. This guitar arrived here from Japan after a long cherished life in the hands of its original owner and aside from regular servicing and a fresh set of strings, it needed for nothing. The frets are low but level - a refret is not far away; but when guitars are as comfortable to play as this one, lets get the most from them. This would make a very good starter instrument - they were of course the entry level back in 1973, but these are a different class altogether from new starter guitars. It is tempting to spend as little as possible on the first guitar, but this really doesn't do any favours to the student as they always need the same value as the guitar itself to prepare for actually playing. This SE-430 is so slick, so gentle and has a decent acoustic ring even when not plugged in. The Maxons pick-ups are low output heaven - their distinctive brightness pairs with a small valve amp perfectly. These were the original iteration of the pick-ups in the USA-bound Goya guitars - a fair few very famous guitarists found their sounds and styles on these. Take a listen to how this one sounds in the video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynX2fhlX-Yc Its in great condition, needs nothing for another few years, but will need a new set of frets to get to its 100th birthday. Of course there are signs of life on the finish, but its all genuine - its taken 50 years to get it looking like this! Price Availability ON SALE!
