The award-winning ARTISAN 30 in a head format. The ARTISAN 30H takes the magical sonic qualities of the 30W EL84 power stage and distils it to a new level of tonal purity. One channel is built around an EF86 with a 5-way Bass Shape switch and the other an ECC83 with the addition of a Voice control for extra tonal flexibility. The Master Volume delivers the pure, natural crunch that you would expect from an amp of this quality. http://worldguitars.co.uk/superdrive-30-series-ii-2x12/ 2012-05-18T15:31:34Z marksmith http://worldguitars.co.uk/superdrive-30-series-ii-2x12/ In great condition and tested by us.

Runs at 7, 3 and a quarter watt!! The late great Gary Moore used one of these as his practice amp!!! Cornell say... Most of today's guitarists are aware of some amplifier history, and "Plexi" must be one of the best known nicknames for a range of amplifiers produced by Marshall from about 1963 to 1969. We have refined this fundamental design to its ultimate, tailoring the components and adjusting the circuit to produce the definitive Plexi sound. Back in the late 60s there were very few rock bands not using this type of amp, and still today this classic tone can be heard. The Cornell-Plexi amp has that instantly recognisable sound, and if you play rock, or simply want the Plexi tone, this range of amplifiers is an absolute necessity. Whether it is the 18/20 head or combo, or the 45/50 stack, these amplifiers are in the business of classic rock tones. http://worldguitars.co.uk/pitbull-45/ 2012-05-14T14:47:34Z marksmith http://worldguitars.co.uk/pitbull-45/ Amazing and very sought after 1x12 combo in good condition.

Amazing quality and our favourite acoustic brand! Hawaiian Koa occupies rare air among tonewoods, and for good reason: Its tone is crisp and complex, its figure can be variegated and striking, and it is among the more difficult woods to procure. Though it’s normally reserved for the upper end of the Taylor line, our years of buying whole koa logs can sometimes yield sets of wood that have all the tonal character and charm of premium koa but aren’t quite as figured as the most prized sets reserved for the Koa Series. That’s where our 300 Series Koa Limiteds come in, offering a special treat and a great value. http://worldguitars.co.uk/dualist/ 2012-05-10T14:04:04Z marksmith http://worldguitars.co.uk/dualist/ R D Amplification is founded on over 25yrs  experience  building and repairing tube amplifiers. Rob Dix is a fully qualified Electronics Engineer as well as being an Electric Guitar player and has spent the past years building Custom tube amps for musicians around the UK. The concept behind the DUALIST was to provide something just a little bit different whilst embracing the best of a great tradition of classic guitar amplification. The amplifier is built using traditional point-to-point construction techniques and boutique standard components.  Each DUALIST is bespoke and custom ordered through World Guitars. It is then hand-crafted individually, one at a time by Rob at RDA, from chassis to cabinet, with a range of custom finishes available to order.   The DUALIST is available as a head only or can be perfectly matched to our Custom Vintage 2x12 Speaker Cab. The DUALIST is essentially a single channel amplifier but allows for more flexibility than a simple VTBM preamp circuit. ‘SINGLE’ mode employs a single twin-triode tube configured in a classic tone-stack utilising the Gain1(+ Fat), Treble, Middle and Bass controls. ‘DUAL’ mode, which is foot-switchable, pulls in a second twin-triode circuit controlled additionally by Gain2, Level (+Bright) and Filter controls. Both SINGLE and DUAL modes utilise a sweet long-delay tube Reverb and a global Master control which is situated post the tube-buffered FX loop and driver tube stage. The DUALIST employs a true Single-Ended Class A output stage using a single KT120 power tube, cathode biased with no negative feedback loop, providing around 15-20w of classic vintage tube tone. Using a single output tube like this, means the power tube is handling the full swing of your Guitars audio signal, perfectly balanced with none of the cross-over distortion sometimes found in push-pull output stages. This produces loads of harmonic texture and an easy transition into overdrive as you dig in to your guitar strings.                                  In short…  a dynamic, touch sensitive playing experience using just your guitars volume control and your fingers or pick. If you’re not used to playing like this…. you soon will be… it’s addictive.  Inserting a foot-switch on the rear panel bypasses the Single/Dual switch located on the front panel. The BRIGHT switch located on the LEVEL control actually bleeds over treble on the Gain2 pot much like a guitars volume control. It is most effective when Gain2 is set low. As you increase Gain2 it gradually becomes less active, finally being defeated completely with Gain2 fully clock-wise. FILTER is an additional passive tone control when in DUAL mode. Its operation is non-linear. Fully clock-wise it provides a fatter tone with more attack. As you sweep the FILTER control anti-clockwise it gradually removes some high-mid from the mix then towards fully anti-clockwise rolls off top end allowing for smoother overdrive tone. It’s subtle but very useful. The DUALIST Electric Guitar Amplifier.......     Enjoy! http://worldguitars.co.uk/57-reissue-les-paul-lpr7-with-bigsby/ 2012-05-09T14:39:09Z marksmith http://worldguitars.co.uk/57-reissue-les-paul-lpr7-with-bigsby/ Recently purchased and never played so treat as new!!

Very good condition overall. With certificate and original case. Gibson say- History speaks for itself. The Gibson Custom ES-335 is one of the most important guitars of all time. Right from its introduction in 1958 as the world's first semi-hollowbody electric guitar it has been a mainstay of players eager to balance the gorgeous, round, mellow tones perfect for jazz and blues with the edge and sustain of a full-blooded solidbody.The Gibson Custom Shop has unveiled the most accurate re-creation of the 1959 ES-335 ever produced. This ES-335 VOS (Vintage Original Spec) edition retains its classic proportions: 16-1/2" wide, 20" long, and 1-3/4" deep. The neck is one-piece mahogany beneath a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearloid inlays and a single-ply binding. Additionally, the guitar has a single-ply binding on the top and back.All hardware is nickel, and there's a classic ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with a lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece. Neck scale is 24-3/4" with a 1-11/16" nut width. Satin finish models have vintage style tulip shaped tuners, while figured and plain tops come with Grover kidney-shaped tuners. All Custom Shop ES-335s have powerful '57 Classic humbucking pickups, two volume pots, two tone pots, and a three-way pickup selector switch. They are strung with Gibson Brite Wire .010 strings and come safely nestled in a black levant case.All Gibson Custom VOS guitars use a proprietary process for creating a beautiful nitrocellulose lacquer finish that includes unique steps for staining, wet-sanding, and hand-rubbing; imparting the look of a well cared-for 40-year-old instrument. The result is a remarkable patina that will delight even the most discriminating enthusiast.   http://worldguitars.co.uk/custom-24-blackberry-with-black-sparkle-3375/ 2012-05-04T10:16:02Z marksmith http://worldguitars.co.uk/custom-24-blackberry-with-black-sparkle-3375/ We had this idea/vision of an outrageous very different very rock out Private Stock and again the PS team delivered!!   We have named it 'Blackberry' Stunning Blackberry flamed top with sparkle Blackberry back and sides that goes up the back of the neck and headstock front.

See certificate for full spec. “It’s an ironic thing to say about such a beautiful instrument but it becomes invisible- leaving the player to concentrate solely on the music- which is what it should be all about. The Tony McManus signature model is based on the Angelus model but with the PRS wide fingerboard. The bridge and fingerboard are in ebony, and the Private Stock wood choices are pretty spectacular. The guitar is capable of going anywhere I’m capable of going musically. It works beautifully as a solo fingerstyle guitar but if I need to flatpick, it’ll go there too. It’ll accompany songs, tunes…whatever I need…tuned high and tuned low, gently caressed or driven hard,” said Tony McManus. http://worldguitars.co.uk/tonare-grand-cocobolo-090143/ 2012-05-01T10:30:52Z marksmith http://worldguitars.co.uk/tonare-grand-cocobolo-090143/ Fantastic Tonare Grand with the Cocobolo Back and Sides, Fingerboard and Bridge upgrade!

Absolutely mind blowing in everyway!! When Paul Reed Smith assumed leadership of the PRS Private Stock program in 2009, he remarked, “I’m looking forward to building guitars again.” The Collection Series from Private Stock provides him the opportunity to do just that.

A very limited number - approximately 70 acoustics and 70 electrics - will be made in total each year and will be sold to our dealer network in pairs comprised of one acoustic and one electric guitar. Collection instruments are built using the finest materials from Private Stock’s most select stash of exotic tone woods. Many of these woods, including prized Pernambuco used to make necks and fingerboards, will no longer be available for standard Private Stock orders. Proprietary specs, including Celtic knot inlays, will not be offered on forthcoming Private Stock guitars as well.
