NOTE; guitars are listed by build date
1955
Maton EG240 Supreme export - the earliest Supreme I've yet come
across, and in totally original condition. This one is an 'export' version,
with 'made in Australia' stamped into the back of the headstock. I've 'imported'
this from New Zealand. Comes with HSC - $2795AUD (with free shipping to all Australian major metropolitan areas!)
1961
Gibson ES-355 - a very rare (one of only 174 ES-355TDSV Gibsons
sold that year) and original high-end Gibson, with its original PAF pickups
and Bigsby, and even its OHSC. This is the best Gibson I have ever played,
bar none. This one's being reluctantly released from my long-term private
collection - $24995AUD (with free shipping to all Australian major metropolitan areas!)
1963 Gibson Barney Kessel - 335 meets SG! Very rare early build
Kessel Custom model with loads of character! Comes with HSC (serial 69084).
This one's being reluctantly released from my long-term private collection
- $5995AUD (with free shipping to all Australian major metropolitan areas!)
1963
Maton PE545 Premier Electric - a really cool single-cut archtop
guitar with great-sounding original Aussie-made humbuckers! This vintage Maton
has some miles under its belt, but is slick as butter to play. Sounds great,
and had stage presence and mojo to burn! - $2195AUD (with
free shipping to all Australian major metropolitan
areas!)
1966
Gretsch Silver Duke - a very cool, extremely rare vintage Gretsch
in collector grade condition. Let the pictures do the talking! Comes with
very rare OHSC - $4995AUD (with free

1974
Maton George Golla GG22A - if you want a high quality jazz archtop,
with Sitka Spruce top, Rock Maple back, sides and neck, Rosewood (Brazilian?)
bridge and headstock facing, this will blow any American archtop out of the
water at this price point. A stunner. With OHSC - $3795AUD
(with free shipping to all Australian major metropolitan
areas!)
1974
Greco FA (lawsuit era Gibson® ES-175® copy - some years
back I had a blonde version of this same guitars. These are genuinely amazing!
I personally prefer these over the American guitars they copy, and they are
less than half the price! A vintage made-in-Japan tone bargain. Even comes
with its original and very cool MIJ HSC - $1495AUD (with
free shipping to all Australian major metropolitan
areas!)
1976
Fender Stratocaster hardtail - I love the tuning stability of
hardtail Strats (just like a Tele), and also love aged Olympic White, and
this 1976 vintage Fender has both! A very cool, usable, desirable '70s Strat
to invest in. This is a very original example, and comes with OHSC - $4795AUD
(with free shipping to all Australian major metropolitan areas!)
1987
Fender American Standard Strat - From the first year of production,
and with desirable 1984 serial number, is this made-in-the-USA Stratocaster.
Previously owned by Yothu Yindi, this very original guitar in its OHSC has
barely any play wear. A really nice Fender USA vintage (25+yo) Strat at a
very affordable price! - on lay-by at $1095AUD
