1980's Gordon Guitars Blackbird V2 Luthier made Guitar

Location: East Midlands - Boston
Swap Value: £500+

Description:

OK This is my Luthier professionally Made electric guitar which has benefited from a recent full restore from the luthiers himself.
The guitar has a glass Like finish (and I failed to polish it before I took the pictures sorry about that)The body is made from solid Canadian Maple with a Honduras Mahogany top. There is a superb set Three Piece neck Hard Rock Maple highly figured AAAA maple neck with a 24 fret Indian Rosewood
The headstock has a AAAA Burr maple overlay. The machine heads are Genuine Grover Romatic's, Shift 2001 Locking Nut and super rare Shift 2001 Wonderbar Tremolo system (which was new old stock) (a well used one will set you back £200 and a new one up to £500) The custom Electrics were made by Josi Warma (Warman Guitars) and comprises of a single Bridge pickup (Warman Warblade) which has Master Volume and Master Tone controls. There is also a three way Coil Tap switch Tap/Full/Phase switching. The Front of the guitar is Edge Bound, in cream binding. This guitar has already stood the test of time. As I already own two of these guitars I have decides to swap this one (my other one is a hardtail) so I am looking for something with a tremolo, (though could be swayed by a nice Yamaha SG anyway I guess a Strat would fill the bill Though no Indonesian or Chinese rubbish and you can forget the Mexican stuff too. So Either American or Japanese. I have the value of this guitar as a conservative estimate for this hand made guitar by Gordon Guitars UK (you can find out about it by emailing sales@gordonguitars.co.uk) at around £800-£1250 (They cost £2999 when new)

I want to swap for

Cash or prefer another Guitar USA/Jap Strat or Yamaha SG
or £750 CASH

I am open to ALL SWAPZ
