Charlie has been a guitar player for 27 years, and over that time has built up an extensive collection of
vintage & rear Marshall Amps and Ibanez guitars of which he has one of the rarest Ibanez collections
in the world. Some of the collection has been featured in Guitar & Bass magazine.

He is known to the “Marshall”, “Blackstar” & Ibanez Fugigen(Japan) + USA(Hoshino) Custom Shop guys.

Benny of Thunder has played one of the guitars on stage, see their web site; thunderonline go to wit,wisbom&whisky,”something missing”.

Charlie has also had the pleasure of hearing another one of his guitar's being played by his late dear friend, Neil Gauntlett of Joe Brown & The Bruvvers. Neil played the Artist 2663.

Some of the Marshall amps are documented at Marshall’s factory in Bletchley. This was when the factory
were collecting data for the launch of the 40th Anniversary full stack.
