This thunderous 30-year-old HD-28 sounds glorious, a flat pickers dream! Over the decades it's been well used but wears the patina well.

The difference between the D28 & HD-28 is for the most part cosmetic. The HD has Herringbone inlays neighbouring the binding where the D-28 has a simpler black/white stripe design - the H in HD-28 stands for Herringbone. The standard D-28 used to feature Herringbone but it was removed to save money. In the mid '70s Martin released the HD-28 to satisfy customers after a D-28 that was more reminiscent of the "Golden Era" models of the '30s/'40s. The HD-28 also features more elaborate purfling.

Sound-wise the HD is set apart from the standard D by having scalloped bracing enabling the top to vibrate more freely - this leads to a bassier sound.

Includes original Martin hard case.

As you can see this lovely Gretsch has barely been played since it was bought from us last year. This one has the added bonuses of a Vibramate Spoiler (a piece of hardware attached to the Bigsby to aid in sustain / string changes) and a Hiscox hard case!! My favourite of the Electromatic range.

Here is what Grestch say...

'No nonsense, Electromatic hollow-body guitars are the perfect real, pure and powerful Gretsch instruments. They’re your next-step Gretsch—bold, dynamic and articulate, and crafted with essential Gretsch sound, style and playability Sleek yet aggressive, the G5422T has a thinner, fully hollow build with a true Filter’Tron™ voice that captures the resonant hollow-body sound with a more present and chiming voice. Like all Electromatic guitars, it delivers the fearless and electrifying authenticity that has set Gretsch apart as the quintessential rock ‘n’ roll guitars from the very beginning. It’s the sound of honor itself—play proud.

Premium features include dual Black Top Filter'tron humbucking pickups, versatile upgraded controls including master volume treble-bleed circuit, oversized bound F holes and aged multi-ply body binding, smaller late-'50s G6120 bound headstock, Graph-Tech NuBone nut, pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail fingerboard inlays, and a Bigsby B60 vibrato tailpiece.'

Lovely S&P Dreadnought featuring a solid Spruce top with Wild Cherry back & sides. Simon & Patrick guitars are part of the same Canadian-made family as Seagull, Art & Lutherie, Norman and Godin.

Excellent quality Guitalele for those looking for a crossover between the two or just a small guitar for travel. Includes soft case.

This rare Korean-made decade old Telecaster (in the now discontinued Spalted Maple finish) is one of the lightest I've ever played! The set-neck and carved top makes it feel quite un-Tele like but in fitting Bare Knuckle Country Boy pickups the previous owner has planted true Tele tone in this previously Humbucker-loaded guitar. Includes TKL hard case.

Here is what Fender said at the time...

'This Custom Telecaster features a set neck and a carved Spalted Maple top on a slim, bound, mahogany body. Seymour Duncan pickups with push/pull coil splitting lets you choose between fat humbucker tone and sparkling single coil (this example has Bare Knuckle Country Boy pickups so Push/Pull feature redundant).

Fender has really come through for fans of natural finish guitars with stunning wood grain. This gorgeous axe has plenty of power and sound options to back up its sexy looks.'

Here is what Cort say...

'Affordable but loaded with quality materials, components and craftsmanship, the Action Series basses define value for the aspiring bass player with versatile features as PJ, JJ and soapbar pickup options and active EQ electronics.

Features...

JJ Pickup Set -

A classic and beloved bass pickup set, the pair of J-type bass pickup along with the pickup balance control is an industry standard that delivers a wide range of bass sounds to cover virtually any musical situation.

Cort 2-Band EQ - 

Laid out in Volume, Tone, Bass and Treble configuration, the 2-band EQ provides boost and cut functions for carefully selected bass and treble frequencies. This results in wider tonal range with a firm and focused low-end with a smooth usable boost.

Ergonomic Body Shape -

Found only on the Action Series basses, the ergonomic body shape, which fuses the best elements of classic and modern designs, was designed to reduce fatigue and enhance playability for extended playing sessions.

Lightweight - 

The well-seasoned woods provide lighter weight for extended playing and practice sessions – making the instrument suitable for both beginners and female players.'

Here is what Kala say...

'The Gloss Mahogany line features a high-gloss finish to enhance the simple elegance of the Mahogany woodgrain. The gloss adds a smoothness and sturdiness to the uke and a cream binding ties it all together.'
