1966 Fender Jaguar in original Lake Placid Blue
​
A post CBS block and binding Jag with the F plate, larger neck almost like a Gibson and the strong voice of the mid '60's Jags.
My one has seen some life and some paint has been lost to the butt end but I think this only adds to the whole vibe.
It has checking and greening of the Lake Placid finish as can be seen with the guard off as it is still blue underneath.
It comes in a modern but era correct Fender G&G black case with Fender logo and I have the original bridge and vibrato arm inside as I have replaced them with a Staytrem bridge and arm as these make the Jaguar play perfectly.
This one plays beautifully all up the neck and stays in tune uncannily well even with quite vicious whammy action. It has been re fretted at some point and I have had the nut replaced to make it play to perfection.

2020 PRS Silver Sky Limited Edition Lunar Ice
​
The second of the limited edition finishes, limited to 1000 worldwide, this guitar was the first with a quarter sawn maple capped neck in John Mayer's signature line up and the flip flop Lunar Ice finish is something to behold: sometimes purple, sometimes green with blue thrown in!
The condition is great with only 2 noteworthy details being a tiny tiny ding above the pickguard that you need to squint to see and a scuff indent on the very top of the arm area which you can't see unless you look for it and was there when I bought this guitar used.
It took me weeks to notice it!
It comes with the PRS optional hard case and all candy including vibrato arm and Allen keys.
As you can hear in the video, this is a killer sounding guitar. Not just a Strat rip off as many thought when it was announced. It has its own unique take with the strongly voiced Mayer pickups.
The frets are perfect and the quarter sawn fretboard makes this guitar sound slightly more lively than the rosewood board ones.

2021 Martin Custom Shop Aged Adirondack Wild Grain Rosewood
​
Quite a special build and labelled as a GuitarGuitar special order signed by Chris Martin himself, it has a Stage 1 aged Adirondack top - just the best top Martin can produce.
Along with that, this has an East Indian rosewood back and sides but the back is a stunning Wild Grain select piece with incredible figuring.
It is basically a pre-war build but with modern features like a compensated bridge and the modern ultra comfortable Modified Low Oval, High Performance Taper neck.
The aging to the Adirondack top looks amazing and it sounds as good as it looks. Comes with original Martin moulded case and a wee treat as GuitarGuitar and Martin included a special COA in a leather wallet as a bonus with this guitar.
It really is the highest peak of modern Martin guitar making and sounds full and lively both fingerpicked and flat picked. Loud and responsive without a boomy bass getting in the road.
