Chris Eccleshall Electric Lady Guitar

 

I aquired this guitar from a friend (and good customer) who bought the guitar new. It was made around 2007 and has quite an interesting story behind it.

 

The Electric Lady brand was a joint venture between Chris Eccleshall and a guitarist from Kingsbridge, Devon called Eddie Cameron. Chris Eccleshall is a well renowned guitar maker who was once Rory Gallaghers guitar tec and also repaired guitars for Pete Townsend after he smashed them up!

 

Eddie commissioned, I believe, 7 guitars from Chris to a joint design. The wood was sourced from a plantation managed by Eddie in his day job as a tree surgeon. The body and neck are made from Sycamore.

 

The flip flop paint was done by a firm in Plymouth that do custom paint jobs on motorcycles. In some lights it looks purple, in others green to almost grey. I've done my best to show the paint in different light settings but don't really do it justice. In real life it looks amazing and especially under stage lights.

 

The original owner decided to have the guitar converted to P90's and this work was done by Tom Anfield a luthier from Hatt in Cornwall. The original HSH pickups were Bare Knuckles which were custom wound for Eddie and included (with the original scratchplate) in with the guitar, if you wanted to put it back to standard.

 

It's fitted with a Wilkinson VS100 Trem and has Sperzel locking tuners. Its in extremely good condition and comes with a Hiscox hard case. It cost £1800 when new, plus the cost of the P90’s conversion, a superb luthier built hand made guitar.

 

There's a YouTube clip showing the guitar in use here:

 

I also have a good quality audio track featuring the guitar which I can email on request as I can't as yet upload to my website.

 

Any questions pls ask.
