FS/FT & Offers: Peavey Rockingham B6 Bigsby - Same as Gretsch / Peerless

[Rox]

I don't want to sell this really, but still raising funds for something I'm GASsing over, so this is a sacrificial Lamb to the Slaughter.

EDIT: I cured my GAS (for now), so no longer for sale.

This is an early Peavey Rockingham, the person I bought it from believed it was a prototype because of a blemish under the finish, and the inner label is very basic.

These guitars are made by Peerless, so they are the exact same guitar and spec as the Peerless Gigmaster Custom and Gretsch 3131, Going rate for a Gretsch or Peerless is double what I'm asking for this Rockingham , so it's a way to snap up a cracking guitar for a considerable wedge less - just because the name isn't as popular.

These have a proper Bigsby B6 - and when you consider a proper B6 Bigsby is £150, this guitar is great value.

This is a real bargain if the look of it is your cup of tea. It's had a repair to the top (very minor) next to the fretboard, in line with the switch. You probably can't see it on the photo, to be honest.

Here it is:



...and just as a comparison - here's it's sheer size next to a Les Paul! Although it's big, it's surprisingly comfortable.



Has a soft case, I'm looking at £250 posted.

I always package guitars well, and always send via next day if I can. I hate waiting for guitars, and I don't expect someone who buys one of mine to wait either.

I'm sure I'll buy another one of these in the future, but needs must at the moment.

Any Q's, please ask.

A little bumpage.

That's a lovely colour.

[Rox]

You're not wrong. I'm secretly pleased there's no interest!

I haven't got the funds ( or a way to explain it to mrs theweary should that turn up at the door one day) but the purple with the Bigsby is the choice one, nice

There was a non Bigsby one and I think there were about 3 colours. Sig guitar of Darrell Higham even though he wasn't that well known then ( better known as Mr Imelda May these days). Made, I think, for the UK and European market.

I cant even begin to describe how much I want, but cant afford, that.
