NOTE; new arrivals are listed in order of arrival (most recent on top)

just arrived!! early 1980s Fernandes lawsuit copy of a '60s Telecaster© - some time back we had a bound version of this guitar, and it was one of the nicest Teles© we'd ever played. This one is just as good! Comes with OHSC - $1395AUD (plus shipping)

just arrived!! 1959 Maton F240 Supreme archtop acoustic - a delightful and dead original example of a nice vintage Maton archtop! Maple back, solid Maple sides and neck with solid carved Spruce top. Virtually no play wear, and perfect neck angle and straightness. A no-issue vintage guitar. Comes with new HSC - $2495AUD (plus shipping)

just arrived!! 2007 Neil Shoemark (UK) Royale Carve Top custom fretless bass - a very high-grade custom-built fretless bass from NS Custom Guitars in the UK. Kent Armstrong pickups plus phenomenal quality tonewoods add up to a tone bargain! - $1895AUD (plus shipping)

just arrived!! 1998 Gerard Gilet classical guitar - Gerard's guitars are amongst my favourites, and I'm particularly enthusiastic about him as an Australian luthier. This classical guitar shows just why! A stunner in looks, sound and playability. Comes with high grade HSC - $2995AUD (plus shipping)

just arrived!! 1966 Gibson ES-330 - I'm a real fan of these hollowbody thinline P90 single-coil Gibsons! They kick out the Blues and Rock'n'Roll tones like nothing else! This is a superb example, and comes with its OHSC - $4995AUD (plus shipping)

just arrived!! 2002 Gibson ES-335 Dot - another lovely ES-335 (ESDT335). Very low mileage, and gorgeous with its Ebony finish contrasting with the white binding and nickel-plated hardware. Comes with OHSC - $3195AUD (plus shipping)

just arrived!! 1989 Rickenbacker 330 - a stunning low-mileage Rick nearly 20 years old in sexy Jetglo finish. Comes with OHSC - $2495AUD (plus shipping)

just arrived!! 1959 Maton F240 Supreme archtop acoustic with added jazz pickup - a really good example of a successful model for Maton between 1953 and 1962 - the Supreme. This one has had a floating mini-humbucker jazz pickup professionally installed for the previous owner, making it a very good jazz guitar! Maple back, sides and neck with solid carved Spruce top.. Comes with OHSC - $2595AUD (plus shipping)

just arrived!! 1960 (approx) Alver by Maton - here is an affordable, usable, charming vintage Maton in ridiculously good condition. Definitely collector-grade, right down to its OHSC - $895AUD (plus shipping)
