About Nine Ball Guitars

I've been collecting, buying and selling modern and vintage guitars for thirty years, first in the US, where I was born and lived for many years, and now, after moving first to London, then southwest France, and now back in the UK, in beautiful Devon. My goal for 9Ball is to offer UK and European guitar players and collectors an alternative to the high prices usually asked for guitars and amplifiers on this side of the ocean, and a friendly and trustworthy partner in selecting your next guitar or amplifier.

All our guitars and amps are located here in Devon - no delays, customs fees or hassles shipping guitars from the US.

At 9Ball, in addition to a wide range of vintage electric and acoustic guitars, I specialize in Gibson Les Paul Historic Reissues. I first discovered these amazing guitars several years ago, and have learned as much as I can about what separates them from normal production Les Pauls, as well as the ins and outs of the different years and models. I believe the Historic Reissues offer a playing experience that comes very close to the original 1954 - 1960 Les Pauls, while costing far less. Take a look at the Les Paul Historic Reissues on the 9Ball site and see if one doesn't make your heart beat a little faster. If you're looking for something in particular that you can't find, email or call and I'll see if I can't track it down for you on my next buying trip to the US.
