Here’s something quite special for your Friday… a single owner, original, uncirculated ‘59 Burst 💥
We’ve been working on bringing this one to market for some time and we couldn’t be more thrilled to officially list it on our website today. This guitar has it all! A wonderful history, provenance, killer flame Maple top with little fade, vibrant colour, two killer PAF’s (Zebra Neck, Double Black bridge) and the perfect neck profile 👌

Stunning, previously uncirculated 1968 Gibson Les Paul Standard just in from the family of the original owner, Brian Russell who played in the Belfast based band 'The Few' during the 1960’s. This guitar is in remarkably preserved condition and has all the traits that make these first year 1968 Les Paul Standards such desirable and collectable instruments. Available now!

They don’t get much better than this! Original 1959 Les Paul Standard. An extremely good example with a killer top, double white PAF’s and an outrageously good tone!!

Clean, original 1964 Gibson ES-335 TDC. Factory stoptail model, vibrant cherry finish, all original parts, wide nut, killer neck with the perfect depth C profile, with original Lifton orange lined hard case. This one ticks all the boxes!!

Just in… super cool, original ‘64 Rickenbacker Rose Morris 1996 model. Beautifully aged Fireglo finish, played and enjoyed by the same owner since new. The 3 excellent sounding “toaster” pickups, thin hollow body, and short scale give a wonderful tone and feel with a bright attack and percussive jangle. A model made famous by Lennon during the early Beatles years with his ‘58 Mapleglo 325.
Live on our website now!👌

1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom. 20th Anniversary model in a nicely faded sunburst finish. Very cool 👌

Love the finish on the Tamio Okuda Les Paul CC #29. Really deep orangey burst and a nice subtle flame. Based on the original ‘59 LP Std 9 1165, the Custom Shop have done a great job with this one. Number 7 in the VOS run, killer sounding ‘57 classics, weighing in at 8.5lbs. An awesome guitar.

Super cool 1964 Gibson ES-335TDC with factory B7 Bigsby. Played as a stoptail model over the years but now back to its former glory with Bigsby reinstated and a nice aged repro Custom Made plate. An awesome looking guitar with a vibrant cherry finish showing little fade. Great player, really comfortable C profile neck with the perfect depth. Live on our website now!

Custom colour 1968 Fender Jaguar in Sonic Blue. Can’t beat the way this colour ages! Just love the slight greening to the finish. This is a really cool, clean example with case, bridge cover and arm. Plays beautifully with flatwounds and sounds amazing too!

Favourite Les Paul Custom finish? Bigsby or not?? Always contemplating the big questions at VnR HQ.. two of these are now sold… don’t forget to keep an eye on our website as stock frequently changes!
