Early 1960s Guyatone LG-140T Electric Guitar (Rare Gold Nitro) (MIJ)

Made in the early 1960s by Guyatone, the LG-140T was Guyatone's new deluxe, top of the line solid body electric guitar with a grand total of 4 snazzy sounding pickups with dedicated on/off switching for each pickup as well as loads of tone switches and knobs to keep you wondering for hours on end why you can't get your settings right! Just kidding, it's not too hard. Guyatone guitars are amongst the quirkiest of all the 60s Japanese electrics, and this one has quirk for days whilst still being very playable and sounding amazing.

Made in house entirely by Guyatone, the pickups, hardware, body and finish are all made by Guyatone, which adds to the charm of these fantastic guitars. This one is finished in a very rare gold nitrocellulose finish and is all original down to the last screw. It's been professionally setup with 10-46s and plays very nicely, with some buzz and clang evident when played acoustically. The tiny little frets are to blame but this isn't noticable when plugged in. The neck is chunky and thick and feels great in the hands. The vibrato is extremely comfortable and keeps the tuning of the guitar very well, even on big dips. Replaced machine heads. Comes with a gig bag!
