Anthony was so easy going. Would let you play for as long as you needed. Made making my purchase a no brainer. Love my guitar and will forever.

I have been selling and buying vintage instruments for over 20 years both in Australia and Overseas. Anthony is by far one of the best I’ve ever encountered. His knowledge and understanding of where the vintage and modern day market sits is simply outstanding. I have now purchased and sold over a dozen instruments with The Colonel and every single transaction has been an absolute pleasure. Please don’t hesitate to purchase here folks! Anthony Lance is simply one of the greatest around!

Guitar Of The Month.
We are very pleased to offer this one owner 1964 Fiesta Red Fender Stratocaster. Bought in Melbourne City on the same day as the Beatles were here waving from their hotel balcony. The owner said "what are all the screaming girls doing here?" as he walked towards the guitar shop. There were two strats on the wall, a sunburst and a fiesta red...he made the wise decision....As with anything thats over 60 years old sometimes parts need replacing....this beauty has had two pots replaced, and a few screws from the back plate and pickguard...apart from that, it's all as it was when bought. Great weight, amazing neck profile, and a sound to die for. This is an early 64 and not the later transition model. Original black bottom pickups and three way switch. Comes in the original Australian Stamford made case. Please guitar fairy, but this for me :)
