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 Week.
A very rare sight to see in Australia, let alone anywhere else. 1957 Gibson Les Paul Standard. Early edition pre decal PAFs with brushed stainless steel covers and steel baseplate screws. Refretted with medium jumbo frets at some point. All else is original. It has an incredibly easy to play slim neck shape with a slight V towards the nut. Purchased from Gruhn Guitars in 2020. We will have more information coming shortly, including pickup output measurements, extra pictures etc.
