Bravewood '55 Strat BackTokai Love Rock Guitar

Tokai Love Rock finished in Violin with a '58 style plain top, it also has a 50's style big neck and very cool vintage style PAFsGibson CS '57 Les Paul Gold Top
My favourite guitar! I've owned this Les Paul for around 10 years and its remained my No1 for all of that time.Fitted with RS Guitar Works True 60's PAF Humbuckers and vintage wiring kit with Peter Green out of phase setting in the middle position.
Its battered and abused but to me its the best Les Paul i've ever played.
Gibson Custom Shop '57 Les Paul Back
The back of the Gold Top has some battle scars too, it was pristine when i bought it!1994 Gibson Les Paul Standard
I acquired this guitar from the British band 'Shed Seven' in the late 90's and it was my main guitar for a long time. When i bought the guitar it had a Bigsby, which i removed as soon as i got the guitar home. Fitted with Kloppmann pickups, out of phase mod and RS vintage wiring kit. This one could tell some stories. . like the time i fell off a table playing it and snapped off the headstock!Les Paul Standard Top
Very well played! You can see the holes where the Bigsby tremolo used to beGibson ES335 Dot
I've loved Gibson ES335s since i first saw Clapton playing his cherry red "Cream" 335 so mine had to be red too!All original except for the out of phase middle position mod

Im a huge Mark Knopfler fan so i had to have this! Candy Apple Red finish and fitted with John Suhr pickups. Dennis Elvidge did a great job of refretting with jumbo frets and replacing the nut. This strat is battered from when i would throw it across the stage every night to a roadie who was usually waiting to catch it. . Sometimes he didnt and sometimes i didnt throw it far enough!Fender Custom Shop '62 Strat
Limited edition model with a bigger neck than a standard 60's strat. Handwound Abigail Ybarra pickups. A great sounding strat!1987 Fender USA Strat
This guitar has a cool story and is very special to me. Originally this strat belonged to a good friend of mine and Yorkshire guitar legend called Charlie Speed, i used to watch him play this guitar live when i was a kid, later i worked with Charlie as his guitar tech and now its mine :-)Charlie Speed Strat
