voldar Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Fantastic looking Antoria bass with the addition of a one-off Carbon Fibre pick guard. Great playing bass and a bargain at £100 (postage within the Uk is approx £20). Antoria Guitars have always been at the forefront of Britpop, right from the beginning Hank Marvin’s (Drifters/Shadows) chosen guitar was from Antoria. Marty Wilde used one as shown on his Greatest Hits album cover. Even in Liverpool in the early days the lead guitarist of Rory Storm and The Hurricanes chose a guitar from Antoria, Ringo Starr was the drummer with the band and is even pictured playing an Antoria guitar on stage for fun. Most recently, the lead guitarist with Oasis proudly plays and shows off his Antoria J200 style guitar on the Wonderwall video. Body: Solid Carolina Neck: Hard Maple & Bolt on Fingerboard: Rosewood Frets: 20 Scale: 864mm Pickups: 2 JB Controls: 2 Volume, 1 Tone Bridge: BS019 Hardware: Chrome Finish: Sun Burst [attachment=84944:Antoria_bass.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you put up a pic of the headstock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
