Gibson / SJ / 1974 / Natural / Guitar
|
This is a great example of what people call a players guitar. At 38 years old it's been played a lot, and it has numerous dings, scrapes and scratches to prove it, but once you start to play it you realise why - it sounds awesome. The SJ is a high end model, and the pearl block fingerboard inlays, the crown inlay on the headstock, the multiple binding front and back are indications of that. Tonally the resonance this guitar has, the richness of bass, the warmth of the mid-range and sweetness of the trebles, make it very difficult to put down. It's in all original condition, although the top has sunk a little around the soundhole area, which is a cosmetic issue rather than a structural one. It comes in a brand new hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK 
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
