No Reserve!Pete Back was a well respected UK luthier from the 70s through to the 90s and there is at least one site dedicated to his work. To the best of my knowledge all of his guitars were built to order and are essentially one-offs.This is a single cutaway semi, similar to an oversized Les Paul or a small L9, with a 14" lower bout and a depth of 2.5" at the rim. However, it's constructed more like a 335 with a centre block so it weighs 4.6 kilos, about the same as a decent Les Paul. Pickups are Seymour Duncans, either Jazz or '59s (I forget which), so they're PAF types. It has typical Gibson-style controls and chrome hardware, except for nickel Grover tuners.There are a few dings and scrapes but no breaks, cracks or fretwear. It has a low action with plenty of power and sustain. It's a seriously good compact semi and comes with a decent hard case.
Now, cash on collection would be favourite for me but I understand it may be no good for you. I am quite happy to pack it for you but YOU MUST ARRANGE AND PAY FOR A COURIER YOURSELF. That way it will be your choice of courier and level of insurance, and also your responsibility once it leaves my house.
