A hand built byGordon Guitar'sA SC22 Custom allMahogany solid bodiedGuitarI purchased this guitar new direct fromGordon Guitar's Arthritis has set in my hands so nowselling my collection.My son only plays Fendersso for him I would consider a swap, USA Tele or StratWhat have you got?------------The guitar is fitted withA Bourns soft gradient Volume PotSprague Orange drop capacitorGibson BURSTBUCKER in the neck positionand a TESLA VR-60 Classic in the bridge position.--------Classic Blues and Classic rock Sounds !!!!!!! Check out Gordon Guitars websitehttp://gordonguitars.co.uk/This is pretty much what it says it is. A solid Mahogany body with a one piece mahogany long tenon deep set neck. The Body could be said to be Les Paul(ish) However Unlike Gibson Les Pauls this is a 100% solid Mahogany body and not a split wood body like Gibson they have the Base of the body made from Mahogany and the top from Maple. 
The reason I have chosen to use a one piece mahogany body is so that I get that wonderful bluesy sound that you can only get rom all mahogany guitars. Mahogany is a proper tone-wood the arch top not only gives it beauty but having the greater mass around the pickups gives oodles of sustain. and having the cutaway at the bottpm then brings brightness to the treble end without infringing on the central mass by having ample cap. The one piece Mahogany neck keeps the tone in sympathy with the body, Also by using a Rosewood fingerboard on this model I have not overly increased the brightness that a Ebony fingerboard would. The 22 frets is ideal for those who got into guitar playing after the 1980s (when 24 frets ruled) and the 25.5 scale length s also comfortable. This is as far as a Gordon Guitar is concerned a Entry level model and costing just £1550 (£1750 for maple top) at full rrp. Planet wave locking Tuners, High gain humbuckers, Tune-o-matic bridge, schaller strap plocks and Padded Gig Bag.
