Suburban Man

This is one of the Martins that was produced in the late 80's (This one in 1989) with part assembly overseas and final assembly in the USA. There were only a couple of thousand of these made, so it is something of a rarity It has a solid spruce top and rosewood fingerboard Scale length is 25.4" and the nut is 1 11/16" As delivered from the factory these were fitted with passive under-saddle pickups. This guitar has recently had a complete overhaul (from Richmond Guitars) with worn frets replaced, fretboard cleaned and a new Fishman under-saddle pickup fitted. The guitar comes with a 'Schatten mini pre', which has the high input impedance that you need for these pickups. Please check the photos for the condition of the guitar. It has been played regularly and is now over 30 years old, so it is definitely 'road worn' but the tone has aged beautifully as well.

Pretty much 'as new' Fender Jaguar, the 'Ben Gibbard' version, natural gloss finish, comes in a Fender gig bag The contoured, chambered ash body keeps the weight down to just under 3.5kg and as standard the pickup switching is a three-way rotary in place of the tone control Electronics include a set of custom, vintage-inspired Ben Gibbard Mustang pickups. What appears to be a vintage-style Mustang bridge is actually an innovative modified hardtail setup, providing rock-solid stability, intonation and sustain. FEATURES Chambered ash body Custom Ben Gibbard pickups 3-position rotary pickup selector switch Modern “C” neck shape 9.5” radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets Ideally pickup from North London/Uxbridge area.
