Location: Bristol, UK		Hi

Long time lurker here.

I've got to thin out my collection a bit - big tax bill coming up, so (reluctantly!) I'm putting these two up here for offers before ebaying 'em.



Eclipse 1235-5 s/n. H 347 (no hard case, but will be packed well around gigbag) - pretty good condition, several scratches to rear and small dings on the headstock.

Some rust on pickups and pickup mount / scratchplate screws, some pitting on chrome tailpiece and bridge.

Nice action, bright, versatile sound from the single coil pickups - this has been my main gigging guitar for the past year.

Also UK2 1291-7 s/n. E13468



I think it's a 1291-7 (please correct me if not!)- it's kind of tobacco burst, with gold hardware.

It's a player - pretty fair condition, several big chips through to the urethane in the finish on the rear and also on the headstock, plenty of buckle rash on the back, tho' not through the finish.

There's some wear on the ebony fingerboard (looks like someones used wire wool on it), frets have plenty of life left in 'em, no buzzes (I set up fairly low, but I reckon it could go lower).

Non-original hard case inc, and will be packed securely.

Shipping at cost to UK / Europe / US - pm for a quote - or collection / viewing very welcome.


Ooops - if anyone would like a pic of a specific part of either guitar, please let me know and I'll post 'em here or pm them.

Thanks

Location: Central Massachusetts		The Eclipse pickups are humbuckers.

I just picked up an Eclipse and I love it.. highly recommended for somebody looking for that hollowbody sound.

I think any Gibson 335-style hardshell case will work with it.

Miles has replacement NOS pickups and tailpiece in his eBay store if the condition is a concern or people are looking for spares.

Good luck with the sale!

Location: Bristol, UK		Thanks DVD - yes, they're humbuckers on the Eclipse (and I'm an idiot). And thanks for the pointer re: replacement parts - I reckon these two are players rather than collection pieces, but thanks anyway(!)

Out of the two, I'd be more reluctant to lose the Eclipse - but I've got to let a couple of guitars go (the Silvertone and Guild in my sig are also on offer).

Ta.
