1998 Jackson Japanese KVX10 King V

Horrible guitar. Fancied one of these for ages, and I’ve played on a couple of Musicman/Ernie Ball guitars in the past. Always been…

Fender Sunburst 50s Modern Player Strat

Hayden Mini Mofo 15w Class A Valve Amp
I was a touch disappointed at first with this Hayden amp. Long story short, it takes a good while for it to warm…

Encore Vintage Rickenbacker Copy
Can’t stand Rickenbackers. Why anyone would want to play a toilet seat is beyond me. Having said that, this guitar cleaned up and…

1997 Ibanez JS700 Custom Legend
Reasonably nice guitar, didn’t keep it for long. Got it in a trade with a Jetter overdrive pedal for a really nice Godin…

Vintage Zip LP Junior
Tidy budget Les Paul Junior style guitar. One humbucker, with some kind of coil tap switch. All quality Wilkinson hardware.

1996 Squier Korean Anniversary Stratocaster
One of those cheap gems… First a little history of me and (the lack of) Stratocasters in my life. I’ve never liked them,…

Ibanez AFS95T Semi Hollow
This was a really good quality instrument for the money. I only kept it a couple of weeks, as it sold within hours…

TC Electronic Nova System
Wonderful bit of kit this, one of the keepers in the many things that pass through my hands. I’ve always rated TC’s delays…

Epiphone EJ200
Perennially good quality acoustic. Big sound, big tone, fantastic value for money guitars. I’ve had quite a few of these, and despite the…

1970’s Hondo II Les Paul
For me these are not great copies. A lot of heads rate them, but I’m convinced that’s more nostalgia than truth as many…

Orange Jim Root Terror 15w Valve Amp
Surprisingly outstanding. After an ill fated purchase of a Blackstar HT5 rig with two 1×12″ cabs for a project that never left the…

Reasonable Korean made Les Paul copy, nothing really much else to say.
-
Hutchins Twin Neck Electric 6 & 12
A monster of a thing to maneuver, this twin neck was surprisingly comfortably sat down to play. It was never going to be…
-
2012 Fender ’62 Reissue Telecaster Made in Japan
Nice guitar, although it just didn’t have it. That “it” thing that makes me want to keep a guitar. Nice guitar, though.
-
2006 PRS SE Custom 24
Don’t see any positives in the fervour around PRS; I find them to be clunky, un-ergonomic and poorly weight-balanced. Not my cup of…
-
2012 Gibson Les Paul Studio 50s Goldtop
Really nice guitar, one I wish I’d kept. Gibson’s more recent guitars seem to be more miss than hit, but this one just…
