From “Me!”
Arrived today – in an original – if slightly battered – Grey Gibson Hard Case with typical Orange interior. This guitar is in excellent condition considering that it’s 45 years old! – Some relatively light lacquer checking, one or two cracks and chips, but nothing major, only one area of lacquer that’s typical “buckle rash” damage. It does have a Model correct “Custom” trussrod cover, but the Gibson Orange Sticker and spec suggest that it is a “Regular” model. The neck is slim and slinky, the frets are low and fast (seems typical of all late 60′s early ’70′s Gibsons). Rosewood fretboard is pretty unmarked, frets are original, pots and electrics are all original functional and crackle free.
Yours for £2500 including insured UK Delivery.
POSH Guitars, UK 
Philip's Old Second Hand Guitars (POSH Guitars) Has arisen not only out of my indefatigable enthusiasm for all things wooden with strings, but also from my love of music and creativity.
I firmly believe in a Creator God , who in his creativity gave us a gift. That gift being music, and in our expression of music we give voice to our passion for God.
I am not a company, but I buy guitars of a high quality, use them for a while and then sell them on. Sometimes this allows me to make a small profit, and I shift that profit on into financing the supply of quality instruments for Christian Musicians who are actively working in a recognised Church fellowship.
In this regard I'm happy to announce that Harvey Gerlitz has allowed me to distribute his Guitar Care Products in the UK, and hopefully through these establish a finance base to expand this mission.
In addition to resourcing Christian worship and creativity, 10% of any profits will be automatically passed on to financing Christian work in Africa, building orphanages to care for the victims of the AIDS epidemic there.
All items purchased will be despatched within 24 hours of received payment. Postage in the UK is by First Class postage, outside the UK it's by Air Mail.
