Gibson / SJ150 / 2008 / Natural / Guitar
For those who can't afford a J200, but want that tone and feel, a J150 is the next best thing - a stripped down version with an unbound neck and headstock. Visually it's quite striking, the Spruce top has darkened to a rich honey colour and the Flamed Maple back and sides are beautifully figured. When strummed it has a room filling sound, yet when fingerpicked it has great clarity on individual notes. It's a pleasure to play this guitar, the neck is very comfortable and the action is just right. The guitar has a well played feel to it, and has several nicks and dings, the most noticeable is a wear patch on the treble side rim, where the guitar rests on your leg. Made in Montana, and has an active undersaddle LR Baggs pickup, which features a volume control mounted in the soundhole, and comes in it's original Gibson embossed 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.
