  • 1973 Greco SE-430 No.2, Pre Serial Number

    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!

  • Asher Electro Sonic, No. 1090

    Asher Electro Sonic, Looks good, plays great, be one of the lucky few < Back Asher Electro Sonic No. 1090 Bill Asher is another one of the few incredible master luthiers that supply household name guitarists with beautifully designed and crafted instruments. Frequenters of Coda Music may be familiar with the Asher guitars, but if you want Bill to build the one you have in your imagination, you'll have to join a long queue. These unique commissioned instruments very rarely appear on the market outside USA, but we are honoured to be able to offer #1090 for sale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK6UDRG2XeM The Electro Sonic resembles the lap-steels that Bill Asher is best known for. This individual black / TV yellow colour scheme combined with the unusual pick-up covers provide a timeless look - the Creamery pick-ups sound superb, as they always do. This is a 'neck-thru'' construction using quartersawn Okoumé (also known as Gaboon , a variety of mahogany) and has a nice bright tone and combined with the single coil Sweet 14s give outstanding clean sounds. The fretboard is ebony with a 12 inch radius and Dunlop 6155 frets . The bridge is an TonePros AVR2 - well known for its high engineered quality and low tolerances. Kluson Deluxe tuners complete the very high specification of this guitar. This special Asher can be viewed at Ketteringham Hall by appointment, or can be reserved with a deposit of £500 if this is the guitar you know you have been holding out for.

  • Greco SE-600N, F782908

    Greco SE-600N, California Jam vibes? < Back Greco SE-600N F782908 By 1978, Fujigen was setting the bar for a quality Strat and as CBS accountants were sucking the soul out of Fender, Fujigen was on the up and up. Controversial opinions are that in these years, MIJ was the better guitar - at least more consistent in quality; and certainly more affordable. The Japanese market was still going nuts for demand, and Fujigen capacity was largely being soaked up by domestic demand which is why Grecos were a rare sight outside Japan. The SE-600 was a tribute to the early 70s, whereas the SE-700 harked back to the mid 60s and the SE-800 looked a decade further back. The 500? Well, that was for folk who just wanted a great Strat. It is true that we are missing a bullet rod (the 450 and Super-Real 700s would give you that), but everything else screams 1973, and California Jam. Eagle eyed catalogue experts will equip the 600s with PU-100 pick-ups, but by 1978, Excel PU-119 pick-ups were appearing more and more often in the mid-range guitars - this 600 has a set of sublime PU-119s. A bit more output, and a lot more in the lower frequencies that often cause the comparison with Texas Specials. A Slim C neck profile feels very comfortable, and 45 years of playing have given this a worn-in and familiar comfort - the handshake is fantastic. Impossible to pick up without a few minutes playing - even if no plugged in. As with all the premium models, there is a very solid steel block on the tremolo, that when set to float a little, will ring and resonate beautifully. This is carried through to an amplified signal - the sustain is just right for all types of tone - those resonant high frequencies can be muted with the tone controls if a jazzy tone is called for. It's got plenty of scars - nothing remotely horrendous - just adding to the character of this fine guitar. That angry looking crack on the end of the headstock has been checked out, we have photos of the integrity of the headstock - quite often, cracks in the lacquer look a lot worse than they are on the natural finishes. You can say it was when you attacked a pedestal camera! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjVCg7jbOlw We'd be happy to send this off to a new owner just as it is, but it could be the perfect guitar for an upgrade project - we can be even more 1970s and put some Jescar 55090 frets on; put a Gotoh 510 tremolo on it; whilst the Excels are dreamy pick-ups, we could put something either hotter, more versatile, or anything you wish in there - a glorious stage-worn natural Strat is the ideal back-drop for anything.

  • Matsumoku TE-280

    Another perfect combination of 1973 Harayama neck, and modern everything else < Back Matsumoku TE-280 Price £1,450 GBP | SOLD Add to Cart Chat with Us Missed out on this model? Talk to us for a rebuild! I give the Harayama speech elsewhere on this site - it is worth a read - but this Tele gets you one of his supreme 3 piece necks coupled with a medium weighted body. Part of the trilogy, the upgrades follow the same basic concept - Evil Sheep electronics and Gotoh hardware. The odd shaped and sized Maxon pick-ups that came with this guitar are surprisingly good, but of a time where they don't stand up to modern equivalents. This TE-280 is equipped with Evil Sheep 5225 pick-ups - 5.6k at the neck and 10.5k at the bridge. That clever mixing of magnets delivers a remarkably good and useful set of tones - especially the bridge. Modernisation continues with a 4 way switch enabling a series connection of the pickups in the front position, then a standard Telecaster arrangement from there on. The Gotoh bridge piece is a cut-down ashtray for increased comfort, and features titanium saddles instead of brass. The effect this has is difficult to describe, but you may find yourself enjoying the bridge pick-up even more as a result. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1RSvIK8cbQ This is a pretty guitar, a comfortable guitar and most importantly, a great sounding guitar. All the original parts and components for this guitar are safely stored in our archive and would come with the guitar either stored with us, or with you. All are in working order and could be returned to the guitar at any point in the future. The bridge would require minor surgery, but nothing particularly difficult. Details The Look Part of the floral trilogy, and the scratchplate design aside, this guitar retains a lot of its original look. Shiney new chrome Gotoh hardware always looks good on these models. Headstock The tuners are rebuilt originals - in perfect working order. New string trees improve stability Neck An original Harayama 3-piece maple neck with beautifully dressed frets - ready to provide comfortable and free playing in every circumstance. Pick-ups 2 x Evil Sheep 5225 (Tele set) with mixed magnets to enhance what should be enhanced. Neck is 5.6k and bridge is 10.5k Bridge Gotoh Ti-TC1S semi-cutaway ashtray, new control plate and vintage knobs Controls 4 way selector to include a series option; standard volume and tone controls using the highest quality parts.

  • 1980 Greco SE-700 Super Real, L807194

    1980 Greco SE-700 Super Real, < Back 1980 Greco SE-700 Super Real L807194 This is a very rare example of the third and final iteration of the Fujigen built Greco SE-700 . This final edition had a maple neck, the large headstock, SE-1 pick-ups and the Super Real logo - this name is more commonly associated with the Les Paul range , but it found its way onto headstocks of SE-700, SE-800 and SE-1200 models and these were sold in small numbers between 1980 and 1981. This Super Real has been a busy instrument and retains its original specification. It was originally black, and has had a pretty decent refinish in a light hazy purple. The original black finish is visible on the neck pocket, and under a few belt buckle scratches and rash on the rear. The scratchplate is also a later addition, although the pick-ups and controls remain original. The original MH-S7 tuners and TP-S7 bridge also remain and are in perfectly serviceable condition. We have replaced the saddle height adjusters as years of perspiration had taken a hefty toll on them. Despite being rusted and jammed in place, we were able to extract them with patience rather than destructively. The frets are useable, but more than half way through their life. There is no buzzing and the action can be set perfectly low enough (this is a Strat, not a shredder). The pick-ups and controls are also fully functional, and have a slightly darker character to the PU-119. Despite the SE-1 pick-ups having a tap, this iteration of SE-700 gives you just the full power winding. Unlocking the more traditional and brighter Strat sounds is a very simple modification - options are listed on the website. The neck is a good slim C - not as super skinny as some of the later MIJ necks, but very recognizable to those familiar with JV guitars. This 700 has the larger CBS-era headstock, not available from the Fender lines until 1983 (the Squier CST range) and 1984 for the ST72-70 model. The guitar can be used and enjoyed reliably as it is - we have gently recommissioned it and replaced consumable items such as screws and the output jack. We will make it clear that the guitar would require a re-fret soon, but there are a few years (depending on your style and how often you play it) before this is a requirement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_obdKICxVAM Price Availability £985 Sold Recommendation Buy as Is Buy to Upgrade Specifications Year 1980 Pick-ups SE-1 high output Selector 5-way blade Bridge Vintage tremolo Board Maple 3.58kg; 7lbs 14oz Modifications Earlier Refinish over original black polyurethane Pearloid Scratchplate Weight ← Previous Next→ Latest Videos Play Video Play Video 03:39 Play Video Play Video 02:20 Play Video Play Video 04:44 Play Video Play Video 05:31 Play Video Play Video 02:04 Play Video Play Video 03:57 Play Video Play Video 02:11 Play Video Play Video 03:38

  • Fernandes MY-115S, No Number

    Fernandes MY-115S, Scratch that Sustainer itch! < Back Fernandes MY-115S No Number This MY115S was one of the really interesting looking signature models. It is the Kiyoshi (Media Youth) model developed from MY95S launched in 1997 and finishing production as the MY-Custom S in 2003, and Kiyoshi was, and still is, a very successful musician in Japan and amongst fans of Japanese modern music. He used this model of guitar in his collaboration with Hide. I bought this in as I knew it would put a smile on Keith's face when he really was up against it towards the end. His comment when I pinged him a photo of it is unbroadcastable however playing it was the second thing he would do to it. As well as the orange half sucked Firebird appearance, the sustainer function was something he was looking forward to experimenting with. Then, a thoroughly good friend of ours took it to write and record with (it's on a few Delicate Giants tracks) and now it had returned to us; it's served its purpose admirably now and this is too useful and decent an instrument to stay here when it should be out plying its trade. As far as I am aware, this model was not routinely available outside Japan and therefore they are a very rare sight. I know of a few in Australia and a couple have been shipped in to USA, but none in UK or Europe. Like the other Artist Series guitars from Fernandes in the era, the guitar is made beautifully - a real professional grade instrument. The body is maple and mahogany, the neck is maple with a nice rosewood board - flat and thin for those virtuosos, and nicely balanced for long stints on stage. The double octave neck feels good at the top and the bottom. The pick-ups are top drawer Fernandes - a VH402 at the bridge and a CD-100F with the sustainer at the neck . The bridge is a Wilkinson VS100 and in perfect condition. Like many of the signature models, the pick-ups are key to the design, and they don't bother with tone controls, so a single volume pot only. The 3 way toggle governs the pick-ups in classic 3-way fashion, and the 2 mini-switches control the sustainer circuit. The farther unit swiches the unit on and off, and the nearer 3 way switch governs the effect - a dynamic setting which responds to your picking strength; a setting that forces through a sustained note and the third setting that forces through an octave above the note you play. It is a sensitive unit unlike some others that can get overpowering and uncontrollable - this one seems to know what you want and lets you calm the effect very well. The guitar is luthier prepared and ready for studio or stage . It will definitely get you noticed! You will see some unfortunate cracking and crazing of the lacquer on the upper horn. According the previous owner, this happened on a flight and not from anything more severe. It is invisible from the first row of the audience and has no bearing on the way this looks and plays. There is a stage-bash on the lower rear back of the body - nothing remotely serious. But if a perfect finish on a 25 year old is critical, please make sure you look at the photos carefully or call us for a video call. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmWRIqIwqWw This was sold to Glam Rock bonefide Royalty - expect to see it on stage soon.

  • Matsumoku DB-350 Paisley

    Combination of 1973 refurbished Harayama neck; modern everything else < Back Matsumoku DB-350 Paisley Price ££££ | SOLD Add to Cart Chat with Us Missed out on this model? Talk to us for a rebuild! I give the Harayama speech elsewhere on this site - it is worth a read - but this Tele gets you one of his supreme 3 piece necks coupled with a medium weighted body. Whilst we always adore the original Maxon pick-ups, this one has been re-imagined with the serious stage or studio player in mind. This TE-350 is equipped with a Seymour Duncan Stacked Tele at the neck to provide the traditional Tele neck tone in a noiseless fashion. At the bridge we have had Tony wind a Vintage output pick-up that matches the neck unit well, and contributes to the alternative lead sound. Modernisation continues with a 4 way switch enabling all 3 traditional tones where you expect them to be, and a series phase shifted tone in the second position. There is no comparison to describe this tone - it is the result of improving the series option that most 4-way switches enable. The Gotoh bridge piece is a side-less ashtray for increased comfort, and features quality brass saddles in traditional Tele fashion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tfPikVIpn4 Old Greco Teles are timeless looking instruments to begin with and we still think this is a timeless updating - that plate will look as relevant and appropriate in 20 years time. The refurbished fretboard and new frets provide a "new-guitar" feel - an extremely premium one at that. Harayama necks always feel wonderful. This is a 50 year old Vintage guitar that you can rely on in the most demanding circumstances - the inherent fragility of such a guitar is now replaced with top drawer reliability. That extra lead sound should hopefully open up some new ideas for you - a little old fashioned analogue slap-back delay is ideal for it. This comes with a fitted case - we suspect this is the original case for the guitar. Details The Look This guitar retains a lot of its original look - a few scars from 50 years service. Shiney new chrome Gotoh hardware always looks good on these models. Paint faded very gracefully. New Paisley scratchplate Headstock New premium Gotoh SDS510 tuners and trees Neck Glorious 3-piece maple neck refurbished with new Jescar 55090 frets - a proper Custom Shop feel. Pick-ups Seymour Duncan STK-T1N at the neck and Tony Edwards Vintage at the bridge Bridge Gotoh BS-TC2 Bridge Controls 4-way switch - all 3 classic Tele tones and one extra alternative lead tone.

  • Taylor 150c 12-String, 2202280470

    Taylor 150c 12-String, No need to go up the range - this is the ideal workshorse 12 string. < Back Taylor 150c 12-String 2202280470 This Taylor 150c is a no-nonsense decent quality electro-acoustic that covers all bases from Wish You Were Here through to Love and Affection - the bass and treble controls covering just about all your glisten and shimmering needs. Hardly used, it was bought for one gig, and then stored. Lots of acoustic volume, and when the 100 series is as good as they are, it seems unnecessary to venture up the range and spend a fortune unnecessarily. This one comes with a Taylor padded gig-bag.

  • Fernandes GM-85, Signature model

    Fernandes GM-85, Maximum stage presence < Back Fernandes GM-85 Signature model This rather subtle shy and retiring guitar was a signature model for Kenichi Ito, lead guitarist for the Japanese electro-pop outfit Iceman. He had a proper rock sound and if only he'd come to me I could have given him extra crazy sounds for his solos. This may look ungainly, but actually is very comfortable to play, and has a mighty fine quality spec as did many signature model Fernandes guitars. This one arrived with a refusal to make any sound at all, but a malfunctioning mini-switch and a confused Japanese guitar technician who somehow managed to make a simple problem very complex allowed this to come to us having been given up on. Never give up on guitars. The original spec for these was a single volume, a 3 way pick-up selector, a kill switch enabler and a kill switch. As both of these Fernandes pick-ups are 2 conductor units, don't believe any claims of coil-splitting. This other switch was a standby / on / on with killswitch. But it was damaged anyway so in went a chicken head over a rotary to enable the craziness Kenichi needed a floor pedal for. Now we have a 3 way pick-up selector, a kill switch on that arcade button which is active at all times, and the crazy-chicken which when rotated, provides that thin (yet still powerful) cutting icey raspy tone that Kenichi wanted for his solos. Should have come to me! No batteries, just a little wizardry on how the pick-ups talk to each-other. The tremolo is divine - very slick and accurate - the guitar plays surprisingly comfortably and is genuinely more than just a gimmicky weird shape. You could take this one a little more seriously than you perhaps thought. If you need stage presence; if you do the occasional Prince cover, if you glam-rock seriously, if you just want to get noticed, then this is a great useful guitar that will deliver on those fronts too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAzyTDt98BA Price Availability £895 1 at Ketteringham Hall Recommendation go crazy Buy as Is Buy to Upgrade Specifications Year 2000 Pick-ups Fernandes VH-7 and VH-1 Selector 3-way Bridge Wilkinson Gotoh Board Rosewood 3.6kg; 8lbs 1oz Modifications Chickenhead craziness Weight ← Previous Next→ Latest Videos Play Video Play Video 03:39 Play Video Play Video 02:20 Play Video Play Video 04:44 Play Video Play Video 05:31 Play Video Play Video 02:04 Play Video Play Video 03:57 Play Video Play Video 02:11 Play Video Play Video 03:38

  • Abbotts and GP Matthews, No number

    Abbotts and GP Matthews, 2 very nice interesting old banjos for restoration < Back Abbotts and GP Matthews No number We are not famous for our banjos here, or have very much to do with them beyond fixing them and identifying them for folk. We do need to find a new home for these two - both a little bit special and not the type you will find at car boot sales. We have decided to offer them as restoration projects as banjo specialists and players will have a better idea of how they wish to do it. First up is the Abbotts - a 5 string banjo but with the drone peg and nut absent. It has a tremendous tone and stays in tune as we bang out Wild Horses a few times a day. This is an 11 inch skin, a fairly recent replacement. From my scant knowledge, I assume this to be a Chalton Street model, therefore 1930s or slightly before, by all means chime in and correct me. It'd make a decent plectrum banjo as it is, or a sensitive restoration could get it back to best. This one has a hard case to accompany it. Next up is a very rare fretless George P Matthews. This requires a great deal more recommissioning, and we know about the one in Justecordes in Paris at 1475 Euro, but it has been for sale for years, so remain realistic! Jacken Elswyth has a few videos of a restored model - they sound great fun. We would dearly like to find a new home for these as a pair or individually if that is required, and have a Clifford Essex Popular in a similar state that can go with either or both of them. We are open to offers for these - 100% of the proceeds will be given to the widow of the recently deceased owner of these instruments.

  • Greco SE-800J, C781817

    Greco SE-800J, Rewarding once mastered < Back Greco SE-800J C781817 This is the result of Jeff Beck's Japan tour of late 1978 - and this is by far the most faithful tribute to the guitar he was seen with. The 800 feels a lot more premium than the lower order models - the soft V neck with the 42mm nut, the hooligan spec DiMarzio FS-1 at the bridge and the heft of a late 70s CBS Strat. It isn't a boat anchor, but at nearly 4kg, it feels as solid as a rock. Of course it's complex - it is a Swiss Army Knife of functionality. You will agree to forego the soft gentle neck and middle in-between tone and receive a huge array of powerful tones in exchange. Rather than fill the page with a description of how the switches work, please battle through the demo video where I attempt to explain it all as simply as I can. The powerful mid-enhanced FS-1 pick-up really bites and makes most humbuckers sound dull in comparison. The accompanying Excel PU-119 pick-ups are as articulate and defined as we know to expect. Having the facility to combine the neck and middle into series, and then add some reverse phase Dimarzio to it will likely have you declaring "that's that sound!". The traditional Strat neck sound is easily found - the switching is a lot more intuitive that you may expect; and as with all complex wirings, once familiarized, they all make sense and can be found on the fly. This guitar demands you get to know it, and once you do you'll just need to rehearse the explanation as to how you are getting that sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyRcZJYZt4s I have the original saddles here and they will be included in the sale.

  • Larrivee Custom Shop 00-50, 121203

    Larrivee Custom Shop 00-50, Very rare opportunity for a Concert sized Larrivee in Mahogany. < Back Larrivee Custom Shop 00-50 121203 Larrivée 00-50 sized guitars are held in very high regard and were not made in large numbers. This is even more exclusive being a Custom Shop, produced on May 8 2013 (4 days before Chris Hadfield played a slightly smaller version of this guitar on the Space Station). This mahogany guitar has spent the majority of its life in a case in a collection, and only recently been allowed out to play. A new set of strings and a little tlc later, it has burst into life. It has a tone of its own - slightly more chime than our walnut Froggy, and a great piano like sweep across the strings. It really suits the finger more than the plectrum, but that will be the mahogany talking. With this Larrivée taking the clever lead bits and our '67 J45 taking care of the rhythm, an audience soon forms... This is rare, good and a decent investment. Unlikely to find another in mahogany, let alone in this size, I suggest a quick enquiry to bag this one. We can show you this guitar in real-time via the videocall facility if you wish. I have attempted to capture the tone and character of this lovely Concert sized acoustic in the video, so give it a listen and feel free to ask more questions. It's a cracker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHgmm4WFu3k Price Availability £3,800 Sold Recommendation Savour, cherish, but PLAY IT!
