GJ custom built guitars #033

Hi there,
I am a guitar repairer and luthier based just outside Aberdeen. 
For sale is #33 of a custom line of electric guitars.

At the moment, this guitar has -

Alder body finished in Black.
Maple neck with a maple fingerboard. 
"SSS" Wilkinson "Hot" pickups , 5 way switch, bridge pickup adder switch, 1 volume and 2 tone controls on a black scratchplate. (David Gilmour copy)
Chrome hardware, vintage style tremolo with custom short arm.
D'Addarrio 9 - 42 strings and strap locks.

Please note - These are hand made instruments , NOT CNC cut etc. There maybe discrepencies in the curves, smoothness etc.

Let me know along with payment the gauge of strings you use and a new set along with a "FREE" set up will be done prior to the instrument being collected/ posted.


 Here is a little bit about me.....
"GJ" guitars started out when, around 40 yrs. ago, I fancied a "Tele" but couldn't afford one, so I decided to try and make one. I had been working in a local timber yard as a mechanic and managed to get a hold of some pieces of wood and set out in their workshop to conjure one up.
After about 8 months my 001 "Tele" was created. Since then it has been modified (or should I say butchered), bored, filled and painted umpteen times. Sometimes I think I would have been cheaper to buy one new.
During the evenings and at weekends, when i wasn't gigging, I would repair and customize clients guitars etc. Some clients, from my repair side, were keeping up to date with the progress and when the finished article finally came about, asked me if I could make something for them. A body, a neck etc. The next thing I knew I was up to # 6, a black "Strat" style with DiMarzio blues pickups. This guitar I kept for about 6 years, until finally someone offered me a absurd price for it.
The next guitar I kept, was #19, another "Strat" style with a quilt maple top, Gotoh roller bridge, DiMarzio's etc..  After selling that one (which I wish I never) I made #72 which I still use today. A Strat with Dimarzio pups, GK3, made from a 2 piece Swamp Ash body, maple/ rosewood neck. It plays and sounds like a dream.

Unfortunately due to illness, not much was made between 2005 - 2008 and 2013 - 2017.
As I started to feel better l, I started to experiment with different woods for the bodies and necks. 

 From time to time the worst can happen and a body or neck can get damaged. Sometimes if not fully repairable these guitars are sold for a knock down price. A great bargain to be had by all.

Please note I mostly only build solid bodied guitars like "Strats" & "Teles" etc.
