FS: A couple of Nathan Sheppards ...
Only thinking of selling these because there's something else that I want to buy, and apparently I'm not allowed any - ANY - more guitars in the house without shipping some out first.
So ... on the basis that these get played least ...

Hardware = Chrome
Colour = Natural
Finish = Oiled and hand waxed
£1250.

The second one is "a bit special".
It's a complete 1-off - he never made anything else remotely like it. This one was also used as the example of his workmanship in a lot of his PR stuff.
NSG2
The specs are ...
Body :Claro walnut front & rear cap, with a maple and mahogany core.
Neck: 5 ply in the same woods, with a cocobola fingerboard. MOP dots.
LR Baggs peizo pickups on a cocobola bridge…with EMG 3 band eq, volume & tone controls.
Schaller locking tuners with ebony buttons
£1500.
I'm not selling both (I'm quite aware that I might not sell either!), so it would be a case of 1 sells, and the other gets kept!
As the NSG2 is a one-off, and a showpiece, have you thought about approach Nathan Sheppard to see if he'd like it back?
Ah, there speaks someone who's never tried contacting Mr SheppardOriginally Posted by DiscoStu
.
It was actually his guitar, made by him for him, rather than one that he made with the intention of selling. So it's a bit of a no-expense-spared sort of guitar.
Oh very nice.
Trouble is I'm so in control of my gassing ( now down to 2 guitars ), that I can ohh! and ahh!, but will never give in
But have a bump for some amazing instruments
The nylon has always reminded me of Chris Larkin's ASAD guitars.
That headstock though <sucks in air through teeth> what was he thinking ?
"I'm going to do something distinctive" ??
I wish I was made of money.... that ngs2 is probably the most beautiful thing I've seen this week.
The headstock is designed to give perfectly straight string pull over the nut and to the tuners. Take away the bumps and you've got something approximating a Parker style headstock, except in wood it wouldn't have the same strength, so to counteract that he's added the bulges.
To me, it's an original solution to the problem, albeit aesthetically unusual.
Before he said all that to you, did he say "...not around the eyes, IN to the eyes..." ?
Red ones are better.
