My rock days are over, and the gear has to go. I have two guitars with matching bridge pick ups, one was used as a back-up for the other when playing live. I also have a valve amp and 4x12 cab. Happy to sell individually, but the guitars match the amp and each other. They served me well as a live rig and maybe they could stay together when they find their next home.
I've had a lot of trouble offloading these, as most folks buying second hand want only classic Gibson or Fender gear.
I'm looking for a smaller amp and would love to get my hands on one of these bad boys:

You could say I'm downsizing and upgrading at the same time
Any serious offer (more serious than what cashies would offer) considered.
Epiphone Explorer with hardcase
(one in picture is not mine)
Original owner also bought a more recent model "goth" epihpone explorer, and kept this one as his back up. The pick ups in the korina one were early model epiphone ones, which screamed with uncontrollable microphonic feedback. Heres what happened: old mate put some EMGs in the goth model (he's a Hettfiend) and put the newer "Gibson Licence" pick ups from the goth explorer into the korina one.
Then I bought it off him, and put a Dimarzio Tone Zone in the bridge position, and here we are: "Gibson Licence" in the neck, Dimarzio Tone Zone in the bridge.
Anyone who's ever tried to buy a case for one of these will appreciate the value of it. Generic cases just don't fit.
Yamaha AES500 with hardcase
Again, not my guitar in pic.
I really didn't like the neck pick up and the bridge pick up wasn't fantastic. I've put a Dimarzio Tone zone in the bridge, and the old bridge pickup in the neck position. There's a new pick up selector switch (Tom Morello has a lot to answer for!!) and new bridge. The bridge is fairly similar to the old one, only better quality - old one was cheap and nasty. Chrome was starting to bubble and corrode, and saddle was breaking strings.
Engl Fireball E625 60w valve amp.
Engl E412 standard 4x12 slanted speaker cab.
Has seen a few gigs but has been unused since 2006, and deserves to be owned by someone who will take her out more often. Well looked after, pretty good condition. Great for a scooped metal sound, clean tone is pretty nice too. Includes Engl Z4 footswitch.
From the manual:
The Engl Fireball is dual channel, all-tube head that sets new standards for rock amps.
Boasting a totally new design, the head is equipped with a 6L6-loaded power amp (60 watts) that packs a mighty punch and cranks out both cutting-edge hi-gain lead sounds and crisp clean tone. Its vast gain reserves make the FIREBALL the king of the hill, the no. 1 rock amp in the business. Delivering tight bottom end, smooth top end, and incredible sound pressure levels, this amp puts into the hands of today's guitarists the sonic tools they need to carve out highly defined, expressive tones of their own. Other trademark ENGL features include a second master volume, electronic power amp monitoring, and a variable FX loop.
