Paul Toon / PT-000 / 2022 / Natural / Guitar For Sale
|
I’ve known Nottingham based luthier Paul Toon for about 10 years, and he’s always promised to give me one of his guitars to sell, but he’s constantly been busy with private orders. So when he got in touch saying he had a brand new model, and I could have serial number 0001, I jumped at the chance – and the guitar really doesn’t disappoint. It’s based on the classic Gibson 00 shape, made1/2” deeper like a Nick Lucas, with the upper and lower bouts increased by 20mm. making it a 000 size. The guitar has a master grade Adirondack Spruce top, with beautiful Mexican Cocobolo back and sides, and a flamed Maple 3 piece neck with Walnut centre strip. There’s an Ebony fingerboard and bridge, a striped Ebony headstock, Hawaiian Koa rosette and bindings, with rope style purflings, and Gotoh 510 tuners. I’m not keen on the term hi-fi guitar, but if there’s such a thing, then this is a fine example. The power the Adirondack top gives belies the body size, and the clarity the Cocobolo back and sides gives, makes every note ring out. The unusual body shape keeps the trebles under control, while the bass is full and rich, and the mids sit beautifully balanced between the two. It’s a very comfortable guitar to play, really responsive, and genuinely rewarding – it handles any playing style you throw at it. Plus it looks absolutely stunning. The guitar comes in a Paul Toon monikered Hiscox flight 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.
