Rob Armstrong / Jumbo / 1993 / Natural / Guitar For Sale
|
Rob Armstrong has been making custom made, one off guitars since 1972, and some of his more famous customers include George Harrison, Alvin Lee, Joe Brown, Bert Jansch, Gordon Giltrap and Martin Barre – a very eclectic bunch indeed. This guitar is a mini jumbo featuring a nicely aged Spruce top, with very striking Walnut back and sides. There’s Maple body binding, an Ebony fingerboard and bridge, and his distinctive headstock which has a Burred Walnut finish. Tonally the guitar is very resonant, producing a big room filling sound. The tone is bright and crisp, with an underlying depth, plus great sustain. At 31 years old the guitar has matured really well, and is in good condition, just a few nicks and dings. The neck feels good, and the action is comfortable. The guitar has an active LR Baggs pickup system fitted, and comes in it’s original 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.
