The Wood: Poplar body, maple neck and maple fingerboard
Other Details:
Neck: Slim-taper maple neck with a 24-fret maple fingerboard and wood arrow inlays.

The Gibson M3 is an incredibly rare beast. It was brought out in the early 90s and missed the mark as the guitar-playing universe became all about grunge. However, it was the most versatile guitar you can imagine - the single coil sounds are very Strat-like and the humbucker tones are just immense! It is a definitely in the realms of a collector’s piece now, with so few available - take a look on eBay, there won’t be many that crop up in the UK and not in this condition at this price.
Condition: Near perfect all round. Some slight lacquer cracking near the headstock and a tiny ding on the next but it’s in unbelievable condition for a 34 year old! NB: This guitar comes complete with the original Gibson USA hard case. This in itself is a thing of beauty and luxury.
Reason for sale: I love this guitar but I have always hankered after one in Translucent Amber, as I had one of those as a teenager when they first came out. This one is about as perfect as you can get, but the colour doesn’t hit me with the nostalgic vibes that I need to feel from it!
Shipping / Collection:
Collection in person (Chester / Wrexham area) would be preferred as this is a very rare and expensive guitar. However, if you need it shipping I can heartily recommend Pack and Go. They won’t be cheap but you don’t want cheap when you’re trusting someone to delivery your expensive and rare purchase to you in one piece. They will do an excellent job and you won’t be disappointed by their personal service. This would need to be arranged by the buyer and at your own cost.
Roland Cube 20XL Amplifier:
£95.00
Make: Roland
Model: 20XL
Origin: China, 2012
Style: 20 watt, 8 inch speaker cabinet with 2 channels, amp modeler and built-in effects
Other Details: It’s a 20-watt solid-state guitar amplifier featuring an 8-inch speaker. It is known for its incredible versatility, built-in COSM amp models, and built-in effects, making it a legendary practice and bedroom jamming amp. Don’t be fooled by it size and portability, this thing punches!
Key Features
Channels: Two discrete channels—the pristine "JC Clean" (inspired by Roland’s JC-120) and a "Lead" channel.
Amp Models: Six BOSS Lead types, including Acoustic Simulator, Overdrive, Distortion, Metal, Metal Stack, and the high-gain "Extreme".
Onboard Effects: Nine built-in effects including Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo, Heavy Octave, Delay, and vintage COSM Spring Reverb.
Power Squeezer: A unique Roland feature that delivers the saturated tone and full gain of an overdriven amplifier at very low volumes.
Practical Add-ons: Includes a dedicated Solo boost mode, a built-in chromatic tuner, an Auxiliary Input for jamming to backing tracks, and a Headphone/Recording
Condition: Very Good. Always well-looked after and it’s a very robust amp. The amp does NOT come with a box.
Reason for Sale: I used to use this in the house alongside a PodGo Wireless effects processor and amp modeller, but have recently acquired a new amp with all that built-in, so this (and the PodGo) are surplus to requirements.
Shipping / Collection:
Collection in person (Chester / Wrexham area) would be preferred as the amp is quite heavy and does NOT come with a box or case. If you are determined to have it shipped, please arrange that at your own expense and risk, thank you.
Relic Strat Copy (NOT Fender):
£180.00
Make: Bespoke
Model: Strat-Style
Origin: Unknown
Body Style: Stratocaster-style body
The Wood: Unknown. This is a weighty piece of wood though, not a cheap, lightweight beginner’s instrument!
Other Details:
Neck: Unknown wood, fairly thick and rounded neck profile
Pickups: 3x unbranded single coil pickups
Electronics: 5-way selector switch
Hardware: Upgraded bridge and trem block (Wilkinson 52.5mm(2-1/16 inch) Vintage Style Full Block ST Guitar Tremolo Bridge Pop-In Arm 6 Screws) and upgraded locking tuners (Wilkinson Chrome WJ07 EZ-LOK).
Information: First up, this is absolutely NOT a Fender, obviously! Now that’s out the way, let me tell you a little bit about it. It’s based on a unbranded body and neck so I can’t say much more than these are decent bits of wood. The body is weighty and the neck is chunky. The whole thing feels nicely balanced and would be a big step-up from a beginner’s lightweight machine.
Sounds: The pickups are unbranded but are classic Stratocaster in their tone. You can easily achieve dirty Hendrix sounds or shimmering cleans - plus, it feels nice to play and has a good set of Super Slinky 9s onboard, with the intonation set and
Condition: It’s been reliced so it looks like it’s been in the wars! Aside from the self-inflicted scrapes and stains, it’s not seen any damage. The back of the neck and headstock are absolutely perfect. There is NO case or box with this guitar.
Reason for sale: I had this for years as a strat-style guitar without spending a fortune on the real deal. I now have a Silver Sky so this is surplus to requirements.
Shipping / Collection:
Collection in person (Chester / Wrexham area) would be preferred as this guitar does not have a case or box. If you do need it shipping, this would need to be arranged by the buyer and at your own cost and risk (remember, there is no box or case!)
