SOLD - Delta Tricone Deluxe Resonator

[razorbill]

A truly stunning tri-cone that is a hesitant list. A guitar has come up that I am really interested in and disposable income is a thing the the past, so something has to go! This specific guitar was featured in Guitarist Magazine. I've heard it side-to-side with a National Tricone and it sounds just as good as an M1 to my ears, with similar fit and finish, at a fraction of the cost. Crafted in the UK by John Anderson. I chatted with him over the phone when buying the guitar last year and he is a great guy

Some specs:
- Laminated mahogany body
- 3 piece mahogany neck
- Schaller machine head tuners
- Bone nut (46.5mm)
- Pearloid Slotted Headstock
- Ebony fingerboard
- Diamond shaped pearloid fret markets
- Iveroid binding
- Aluminum Tri-bridge
- 3x6" cones

I have it listed for a bit more elsewhere, but looking for £1795 £1695 here. Collection in Newcastle or could meet within the area via the train, otherwise happy to discuss shipping via insured courier

______________________

Selling my Blues as I am trying significantly slim down to just a couple guitars at the minute and would rather this great guitar be fully enjoyed by someone else than sit in its case. I bought it locally on FB marketplace a couple of months ago. This is a 2011 with a rosewood(?) fretboard instead of the blackwood tek and a hard case instead of the pod-style. The original owned used it in his band so it certainly has been played in (and has some nice natural wear/"aging" as a result).

Put a fresh set of MM Newtones on as the existing strings were well due for a change and it sounds/plays great.

SOLD

I have met John a couple of times and he is a top bloke. His guitars are absolutely stunning. He’s not far from where I live and he did a jaw dropping head stock repair on a Dobro for me and the guitar was actually better after he had his hands on it.
Wish I could afford it. Played several of his guitars and they are all fit to make you weep.
His Les Pauls are the stuff of dreams too.

Yes John was incredibly friendly on the phone and a great builder.

It would be great to get this guitar into a new home where it will be played like it deserves, so lowering the price to £1695!

I took the Delta to Leeds for a setup by Steve Evans at the end of June, so it is now playing perfectly and has a fresh set of MM Newtones (which cost £100). I was fully planning to hold onto it, but recently picked the Fine Resophonic Tricone listed on here so something has to go

I like the look of the tricone but wanna play it first, that presents the main problem. But it does look a great guitar.

I noticed you’re also booked for Pocklington this year. If you want to give the tricone a try in person and the guitar is still available then I’m happy to bring it along with me!
