Ah gotcha Duff, thanks

Sorry I've been away from this thread for a while, have I misunderstood or was this guitar once yours Duff ? I've sold it on now but it was bought from vintage and rare in bath as an original one. Is that not the case then ? Cheers

Hi all, I've only had this one for about 5 weeks but in my quest to nail down my favourite guitar of each design this has lost out to my maple necked Suhr. There's no shame in that, I just prefer the spank of the Suhr ! I don't have to tell anyone here that these 83s are great guitars and the...

It did Mick but I don't think it will end up falling too much lower against the euro as the whole concept of the EU is creaking . Not sure what'll happen against the mighty dollar though - that was a big old drop PS - I have had to stick it on EBay now (obviously at a higher price because of...

Slight bump to the top as I've dropped the price to £1200. Obviously this morning if you are based in Europe it will work out even cheaper than it was yesterday !

Thanks Jo and I'm sitting here rattling off Something by the Beatles on it right now :-) It does sound cleaner than the Gibson, not as warm but with better note definition imho. Every time I pick it up I want to keep it but if I get rid of the Gaz one I'll have to call in Relate !

sorry double post

Thanks guys and thanks Duff for the info - it's definitely an 81 then :-)

Hi all, I've put this back on the market . I've also been told that it may be an 82 rather than an 81 as the special edition headstock only appeared in 82. It was sold to me as an 81 by a very well respected dealer though so who knows :-)

I know Ibicus, my wife has sated her Gaz Gas but I'd love that Burns if I had the money !

Thanks Mikey, it's a 96 but it's been played hard,it feels like a vintage and is very warm. Funny enough Im teaching my wife the chords to Moving and Late in the Day at the moment . I'd never really appreciated the chords he uses before but there are some real beauties in there. He's selling...

Hi Mikey, He's moving studios and is having a bit of a clear out , I got the impression that there may be more stuff on the way. His new album although brilliant (imho) is far less guitary than previous ones so maybe he doesn't need them all now.
