James Llewelyn Morgan (1950-2021) A Life in Music Sadly, I never met James, however, it has been my great honour to take an emotive journey through his life, carefully curating the memories and artefacts of his musical career and presenting them to a new band of musicians and collectors. As a guitarist myself, it has been an emotional voyage through James’ many decades of making and recording music, narrated with great poignancy by his brother and sister Will and Harriet.
His first encounter with a stringed instrument was with a cello. By all accounts it didn’t go well. He then played the drums in the army cadet band at school before making his first stage appearance as a ‘rock’ drummer and then playing drums in the blues boom of the 1960s in various amateur bands. Some of his fellow musicians went on to form Genesis!
By 1969 James was living in London and was hungering for a little more limelight. He taught himself guitar and like many guitarists, found that the lure of acquiring a much cherished instrument inevitably drew him to Denmark Street. It was here, in the early 70s that he found his beloved ’59 Les Paul. Reputedly, it cost a whopping £450 and his credit card bore the burden! This iconic guitar became James’ companion for life and he’d say ‘you can take my guitar when you can prise my cold dead fingers off it’. Many guitars came and went but the ’59 was always a constant in his life, right up until the end when hampered by arthritis, he found it difficult to play. It was also in the early 70s that James met a man called Graham Noden. Having spoken to Graham at length I know he held James in high esteem and they remained great friends until the end of James’ life.
Sound checking the 1959 Gibson at Leas Cliff Hall, Folkestone.
However, it was the ’59 that brought them together and Graham, now renowned as one of the greatest guitar techs and luthiers to the stars, earned his first paying job out of college, refretting the ’59 for James. Graham made several instruments for him and also maintained his guitars especially the ’59, giving it a seamless and well documented 50 year provenance.
However, James’ passion for creating music led him to set up a small 4-track studio in his ‘cottage’ near Wandsworth Common. This compact home studio, complete with layers of sound-proofing fabricated from mattresses and screwed up newspaper, gradually improved, and became an 8-track with both the convivial atmosphere and ever -better equipment attracting a growing number of loyal

James' London studio featured in Melody Maker
GUITARS THAT MADE HISTORY, WEDNESDAY 16 MARCH 2022 ‘analogue’ artists. Arthur Brown (Fire), Pretty Things, Peter Perrett and The Only Ones, UK Subs, Glen Matlock, Wilko Johnson from Dr Feelgood, to name just a few. Hundreds of artists passed through the studio making demos and masters with musical input from James. The studio featured in Melody Maker in February 1980 where it’s noted rates were £8 per hour by cheque, £6 for cash, plus tape! Many items of equipment in the sale date from this period and were used by these people.
All the while, James continued to perform in many bands playing both guitar and bass, including the George Hatcher Band (As credited on their Wiki entry) until by the 90s, the studio started to take a back seat, with his love of music taking centre stage

at festivals, pubs, clubs and universities and venues across Europe, most notably with Stan Webb’s Chicken Shack. James gained some notoriety touring with bands in the UK by wearing a stripy top, beret and a string of onions and garlic and acquired the nickname ‘Frenchie Morgan’. While sorting through his papers, I rather poignantly found the original hand typed invoice from 1985 for the replica vegetables! Of course, his love of guitars always endured and it is those cherished and historic instruments that Dore and Rees are offering in memory of James Morgan. James will be sadly missed by his family, friends and fellow musicians.

A 1959 GIBSON LES PAUL STANDARD ‘BURST’
serial number 9 1865 99cm x 33.5cm This example of the legendary Gibson Les Paul ’59 ‘Burst’ epitomises the very reason why this instrument has become such a cultural icon of the music world. To really understand its iconic status it’s essential that you experience its very soul. If this sounds a little dramatic then I make no apologies because these Les Pauls have a quality that transcends any of the more modern replicas or imitations. Let’s also not forget that this guitar is over 60 years old and in that time it has not only acquired its own history and patina but it has also become a central part of the historical narrative of solid bodied electric guitars. As sales of the Goldtop declined in the late 1950s Gibson’s Les Paul was revamped with a more traditional cherry sunburst finish. However, sales were not as good as expected and production lasted for only just under three years. The guitar didn’t catch on in the UK simply because the UK government’s post-war trade restrictions drastically affected imports of American musical instruments and by the time this was lifted in 1959, it was essentially out of production. Yet this hiatus in interest was to be relatively short-lived. By the middle of the 1960s the Les Paul was gaining in appreciation and in no small part due to musicians such as Keith Richards playing a Bigsby-equipped ’59 who in turn generously loaned it to other musicians such as Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page, thus cementing its credentials amongst some of the world’s most iconic musicians. Richards played the guitar on their famed tour of the USA in 1964 and it was seen by millions when he played it on the Ed Sullivan show. In the States, guitar supremo and composer Mike Bloomfield very much led the Les Paul revival, first playing an old Goldtop. Demand gained momentum but with literally no single-cut Les Pauls available secondhand prices quickly rose and Gibson re-introduced the Les Paul in 1967, although initially not as a sunburst but in Goldtop and black Custom models. The rest is history. This guitar is a classic example of this legendary instrument. The 9 1865 was bought by James circa 1972/73. Having taught himself guitar and becoming an accomplished musician, James visited Denmark Street
The ‘59 as featured on the front cover of Making Music, Aprl 1989 in search of a cherishable instrument and it was here that he found his beloved ’59. He reputedly paid £450 or perhaps £495 for it and his credit card bore the burden of what – at the time – was the modern equivalent of over £6,000. It was in the same period that he met Graham Noden, the luthier and later famous ‘guitar tech to the stars’. Graham was at college and it was James who gave him his first paying job re-fretting the ’59 in circa 1973. Having spoken to Graham at length I know that they held each other in high esteem and remained friends for life with Graham maintaining and repairing James’

guitars when needed. The ‘59 is strung with a reversed bridge and the strings are threaded over the tail piece, an idiosyncrasy that Graham explained suited James’ style of playing making it less likely that he would break a string. Of course, provenance is everything and with this indisputable knowledge of the guitar we have a literally seamless 50 year timeline of ownership and history
which can be verified by one of the most celebrated guitar luthiers in modern music history. Graham also made several guitars for James which were poignantly returned to him after James passed away. The guitar has a book-matched veneered maple deck with nice figuring. The original sunburst finish has faded back to a glorious warm honey-coloured hue with a light iridescence to the maple. There are hints of more colour under the scratch plate. Marks and wear are commensurate with over 60 years of use but have a complete honesty and integrity for a guitar of this age. The deck has a hole next to the bridge and three holes visible at the tail of the guitar showing that it was once fitted with a Bigsby tremolo, perhaps once influenced by Keith Richards doing the same modification. By James’ ownership it was equipped with its current setup, although it’s conceivable that the bridge and tail are the re-installed originals. These are play-worn with traces of gilding. The guitar is fitted with the original and much revered PAF Humbucker pickups. The cream plastic-work, scratch plate and tone switch plate are all original. The knobs are correct Top Hat ‘golden age’ examples and appear to be original. The guitar body is mahogany and the sides have been re-finished at some point with the body binding in what is now a deeper yellow colour. The main back plate has some heavy scratches and there is a hole adjacent to the neck where a guitar strap button has obviously been fitted earlier in its life. The front strap button has been moved up (or down) at some point leaving an old hole. The pots and wiring appear to be original with some later solder repairs. The guitar functions correctly. The neck has a rosewood deck with trapezoid pearl markers and is set up by Graham to play like gossamer. It has an extremely light touch. The headstock has a fine craquelure with fine dints and edge knocks and
GUITARS THAT MADE HISTORY, WEDNESDAY 16 MARCH 2022
chips commensurate with age. The pearl ‘Gibson’ has a yellowed lacquer finish with one small lacquer chip and the original Kluson tuners have been replaced with Grover Rotomatic machine heads, which is a typical update to facilitate better tuning. The scar holes for the old tuners are left as original. This guitar is a much cherished and well utilised example of the ‘Holy Grail’ of the electric guitar world. As James would say ‘you can take my guitar when you can prise my cold dead fingers off it’ and although many

guitars came and went in James’ life his much prized ’59 remained an absolute constant. It was gigged and enjoyed by James and his many friends, used in his studio, published in several magazines and often kept under his bed. As a fellow guitarist and having played this classic guitar myself, it is undoubtedly imbued with part of James’ musical soul. Estimate on request

A GIBSON LES PAUL STANDARD GOLDTOP
1952 98.5cm x 33cm max The Les Paul was first offered in 1952 with a gold finish, hence its well-known name in popular guitar culture as a ‘Goldtop’. The guitar was originally designed by the Gibson factory manager John Huis and his team but crucially with input from Lester William Polsfuss known as Les Paul. His credentials as a famous blues, country and jazz player and luthier too, led to the development of one of the most iconic electric guitars in history, the Gibson Les Paul. Interestingly, despite its now legendary status the Les Paul was not initially considered a commercial success with lower than expected sales. However, this only seems to have added to its historic status and collectability. This example was naturally a crucial addition to James’ Gibson stable. Paramount in establishing this guitar as a ’52 are the holes on the end of the body showing that it originally sported a trapeze tail piece , which was dropped in 1953, and this example has been later converted to a stoptail bridge, now with worn gilded finish. These very early Les Pauls were not given serial numbers; hence this example has no number. Some consider these early guitars to be ‘prototypes’. James regularly played this guitar and although the bridge is
not original it was set up by the well-known luthier Graham Noden, and plays very nicely. The guitar has a mahogany body and neck . The Goldtop finish is in remarkably good condition with some but not many craquelure stress lines, mainly around the knobs, and rhythm/treble switch. There are also multiple dints and some scratches and two arc shaped scratches indicative of where the tail piece once sat. The pickups are cream mounted P-90s with a matching scratch plate and switch disc. The deck is bound with a white edging as is the rosewood fretboard which has trapezoid mother of pearl markers. The controls are gold speed knobs and look to be original to the guitar. The neck has an area of darker recolouring adjacent to the headstock which indicates a repair although given the integrity of the fretboard it doesn’t seem to suggest a break more a re-enforced stress strain. A slight arc is barely visible under the lacquer. The face of the head stock has craquelure with the ‘Les Paul Model’ transfer looking faint but the pearl ‘Gibson’ is strong and slightly yellowed under the old lacquer. The machine heads have been replaced with gilded Schaller examples leaving six screw holes visible from the original examples. The guitar comes with a black Gibson well-gigged hard case with ‘gold’ plush lining and appears to date from the 1970s £4000-6000

A GIBSON LES PAUL JUNIOR 1956 SINGLE CUT SUNBURST GUITAR, INK STAMPED SERIAL NUMBER 6 0847
98cm x 33cm max The Gibson Les Paul Junior was introduced to the market in 1954 as a more affordable option to the Les Paul Standard, for students and beginners. Classed as an ‘entry level’ electric guitar it was essentially a paired down ‘no frills’ version of the Standard with a single P90 ‘dog ear’ pickup, single tone and volume controls and a solid single-piece mahogany body with fixed neck and no complicated carving or shaping. A double cutaway version came to the market in early 1958. This example was key in James’ run of Gibson classic vintage guitars and like many players, he valued it for its characteristic simplicity and expressive tone which was due to the P-90. This single coil pickup has been produced by Gibson since 1946 and despite the usual mains hum problems associated with single coil pickups, the sound produced through a high-gain amplifier made it a popular choice with many mainstream rock and blues musicians through the 1960s and 70s. John Lennon played one, post the Beatles, albeit with an extra pickup added adjacent to the neck. This example has the characteristic mahogany body with a good, warm toned-down sunburst finish commensurate with its age. The front has almost
perfect linear glaze craquelure, with some dints and marks and some lightly coloured-in edge chips and fine scratching and chips around the body sides. The reverse of the body has the usual buckle rash, which has over the decades, had some colouring . There is some heavier wear through to the mahogany on the top bow. The output jack is mounted on a black plastic plate. Having removed the backplate to reveal the wiring, there are some historic solder repairs visible on the pots. The bridge is a ‘wrap-around’ which may have been changed but is aligned straight, making its setup proud of the bottom peg. The knobs are classic Gibson Goldtop top hats and the black ‘dog ear’ pickup cover and scratch plate have very fine scratching as you would expect. The neck has a rosewood fret board with circular pearl markers and the nut appears to be original. The headstock transfer ’Les Paul Junior’ has some wear but the ‘Gibson’ is sharp and bright. The black paint has craquelure and there are some ‘arc’ scratches adjacent to the machine heads, maybe due to using a winder. The Kluson single line ‘Deluxe’ machine heads appear to be original. The 6 0847 serial number has been smudged on stamping. There are some marks and dints the back of the neck. The guitar comes with a Gibson branded brown leathereffect hard case which may be original. The case is very worn and lined in purple plush fabric £3000-5000

A GIBSON SG JUNIOR, CHERRY FINISH, 1961, SERIAL NUMBER 30207
101cm x 33cm max The Gibson Les Paul SG Junior, rather like its predecessor the Gibson Les Paul Junior was introduced as a more affordable option. From 1961 to 1963 it was branded with the ‘Les Paul Junior’ transfer, as in this example, but this was removed in 1963 and it became known as the SG Junior. It’s overall simplicity – like the single cutaway junior, gave it a single dog-ear black plastic cased P-90 pickup and a single piece wrap-around bridge with a two layer black scratch plate. This new distinctive chamfered double cutaway design seems brave for the period and the cherry finished mahogany body and neck with rosewood or ebony fretboard with pearl markers and a black headstock were ample for the range. In James’ case this guitar completed the ultimate Gibson line-up with this example dating to 1961. Of course, it’s simplistic but effective tonal capabilities and playability ensured its place in guitar history and its status as a rock ‘axe’.
James’ example is furnished with a rosewood fretboard. Overall, the guitar has seen some good use. The body has dints and marks with craquelure to the lacquer, mostly in a few long lines but with some small lateral lacquer cracks over the top of the scratch board. The back of the guitar has some scratching and chips with some old touch-ins. The access plate has some scratches. The wrap-around bridge has burring to the slots of the securing nuts and it may have been replaced as it has a good chrome finish, the scratch plate has suffered the same fate as most plates of this period with cracks around one screw hole, the tip missing on the bottom ‘horn’ and a slight bow to the bottom of the plate, the knobs are possible replacements. The headstock has very little craquelure, with the Les Paul Junior and Gibson gold transfers in sharp condition. The headstock edges have chips and wear, the Kluson Deluxe machine heads are the originals and the serial number is stamped. There are some small infilled dents to the reverse of the neck. The guitar comes with is original interior labelled case which is worn. James frequently played this guitar £2000-4000

AN EPIPHONE RIVIERA CHERRY E360TD, 1967, SERIAL NUMBER 897805
109cm x 42cm James’ love of Gibsons ultimately brought him to own five Epiphone guitars in his lifetime. This lovely cherry finished Riviera was made in the same factory as its contemporary Gibsons in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The E360TD was the Epiphone branded counterpart to the famous Gibson ES-335. The 16 inch thin line semihollow double cut-away body is a classic design and this example is in very clean condition and is nicely set up to produce the full and rich tones that you would expect from this model. The deck has some long varnish craquelure, there are two small blemish or hole repairs to the right and left of the period correct
‘Frequensator’ tail piece, possibly from a different bridge set up at some point in its history. The bridge is a Gibson ‘Tune-O-Matic’ and there are two spec PAF chrome cased pickups. The scratch plate is three-ply bevelled with an Epiphone motif. Overall, the body has some minor scratches and indentations to the back but is very clean for a 55 year old guitar. The volume and tone knobs are original. The bound rosewood neck has single parallelogram pearl inlaid fret markers, with some indenting but mainly on the first fret. The headstock is pearl inlaid with some minor edge chipping and has its original Kluson Deluxe tuners with the serial number clearly stamped. The Kalamazzo internal blue paper label is in good condition. It comes with a vintage hard case £2000-3000

AN EPIPHONE RIVOLI CHERRY BASS EB232C, 1967, SERIAL NUMBER 101909
115cm x 41.5cm As the bass counterpart to the previous lot James naturally wanted a bass version in his line-up. Again, made in the Gibson Kalamazoo factory this example has all of the classic attributes of its Gibson ES-335 equivalent. This guitar has been well gigged in its lifetime with classic body wear. There are the typical long, mainly lateral varnish cracks, play-wear above the EB Humbucker pickup where the combination of resting your hand on the chrome guard and heavy playing, perhaps with a pick, has worn a small area. The back of the bass has buckle rash in certain areas and there is
no scratch plate. These were often removed by players on basses. The chrome hand guard has been reversed and may be a replacement, the bar bridge is original and the witches hat knobs are period with the pushbutton tone choke worn to a brass finish. The rosewood fretboard has pearl dot markers, the back of the neck has some heavy wear dints and scratching, the headstock is pearl inlaid with multiple edge dents and marks, the 538 Kluson tuning keys have aged back to a dull finish with two central screws replaced and the serial number is stamped at the top. The interior blue Kalamazoo label is illegible and this looks likely to be due to a retailers label being applied over it and then removed. The bass comes in a modern hard case £1000-1500

A FENDER PRECISION ‘SALMON PINK’ BASS GUITAR, 1962/63, SERIAL NUMBER 73968
116cm x 33cm max The Precision or P-Bass as it is commonly called, is undoubtedly one of the most influential and most copied guitars in the bass playing world. The prototype was designed by Leo Fender in 1950 and was initially designed to bridge the gap between the size, skill and the amplification issues required to play a double bass, twinned with the ease and portability of a more convenient instrument. It was launched in 1951 and was initially and unsurprisingly met with contempt by double bass players. However, the ‘rest is history’ as they say, with the P-Bass eventually proving to be one of the defining bass guitars in electric guitar history as its capabilities proved its essential qualities in the evolution of funk, soul, blues and rock. This example was a favourite of James’ and as is noted in some correspondence he asserts it’s known history from about 1966 onwards. The back plate has a 1962 serial number and the neck is 1963. As James writes in a letter to the author of The Fender Bass, Klaus Basquiz
in 1993 (a copy of the letter comes with the bass), why is this? Almost certainly, the guitar was assembled from stock items giving a date anomaly but the ‘myth’ of the salmon pink fender is the question most people would ask. Why is it this colour? As is commonly known, some of the early paint colours used by Fender faded and this was the case with ‘fiesta red’, which due to inconsistencies in paint application and lacquering, faded to ‘salmon pink’. James notes that he had the ‘pink’ finish on his P-bass professionally restored but when it was stripped back it was found to have a sunburst finish underneath. Hank Marvin played a red Stratocaster in the ‘60s and it’s also thought that this added to the popularity of the colour with importers such as Selmer actually respraying guitars to satisfy this market. This is an eminently playable bass with beautifully mellowed varnish, perfect patination and honest wear to the back of the neck with patinated machine heads, a rosewood fretboard with clay markers, tortoiseshell scratch plate, split coil pickup, replacement chrome work, lacking finger rest/tugbar, with knurled tone and volume knobs and professionally refinished in ‘salmon pink’.

98cm x 32cm This is a classic example of the legendary Fender Stratocaster with the serial number dating from the 1960, 40000-58000 sequence. In reality this is the same as a 1959. The body has acquired the much cherished wear of a well-gigged and loved guitar of the period with overall wear on the prominent high spots, body contact wear on the back and various dints and knocks and scratches which sit so nicely with a classic guitar of this age. The colour is well toned to a tobacco shading. All of the furniture is as original, the scratch board with mellowed fine wear, the bridge plating worn through
decades of playing. The original tremolo arm and chrome bridge cover come with the guitar. The rosewood fretboard has clay dot markers and may have been refretted. James’ papers contain an old Graham Noden receipt dated 5/7/6 (sic) which states Stratocaster ……refret 6130 wire….Nashville String& Tuning - £150.

Glossary of Cataloguing Terms Dore and Rees team members are always pleased to discuss individual lots with prospective purchasers prior to the auction, you are welcome to request condition reports. If you require clarification of any terms used in the catalogue please be in touch. We are pleased to discuss lots which may have been altered, repaired, or restored. The term basically used in conjunction with a date (ie. basically 18th century) indicates that, in our opinion, the item may have undergone restoration, repair, or alteration. It also indicates that only an element of the piece may date from the period stated in the description. The absence of the term basically does not imply that an item is without restoration, repair, or alteration. The use of inverted comas around a word or phrase (i.e. “pearl”) indicates that the piece, or object, may not be what it is purporting to be (i.e. a simulated pearl). If you are in doubt, our specialists are available prior to the auction to offer guidance and advice.
For Chinese ceramics and works of art, if the catalogue states that the object in question bears a mark, but it does not state “and of the period” it indicates that we believe the lot in question may not date from the period suggested by the mark. Clearly, references to the colour of jade are subjective and again buyers are advised to personally inspect items on which they intend to bid to ensure the colour meets with their expectation. Care is taken to ensure that any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date and provenance is reliable and accurate, but all such statements of opinion are not to be taken as statement or representations of fact. Dore and Rees reserve the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority reasonably considered by them to be reliable.
Descriptions of property in this catalogue do not always indicate condition, repair or damage. Buyers are earnestly advised to inspect personally any lot they intend to purchase. Weights and measurements are approximate and should be verified by intending purchasers.
Paintings, Drawings and Prints
A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname or recognised designation of an artist is, in our opinion, a work by the artist, e.g. JOHN NASH
Attributed to JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist.
Studio of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work by an unknown hand, which may have been executed in the studio of the artist.
Circle of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.
Follower of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work executed in the style but probably not necessarily by a pupil.
Manner of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work executed in the style of the artist but of a later date.
After JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a copy of any date after a work by the artist. Signed/inscribed/dated JOHN NASH – in our opinion, the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist.
Bears signature/inscription/date JOHN NASH – in our opinion, the signature/inscription/date are probably not by the hand of the artist. The addition of a question mark after any of the cataloguing terms in the above glossary indicates an element of doubt.
The term 'ascribed to' may in certain cases be used to denote a traditional attribution based on style.
A work catalogued as 'School' accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date mean that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in that location, e.g. Italian School, circa 1800.
All reference to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of work, i.e. as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing.
The use of inverted comas around the name of an artist, or date, in connection with a signature, or inscription (ie. signed “John Nash”) indicates that the signature, or inscription, may have been added by another hand.
Jewellery
The contents of any gemmological certificates accompanying lots in this sale are not guaranteed by Dore and Rees and we cannot be held responsible for any disagreement over the contents of the certificates after the sale, or for a retrospective change in opinion by the certificate issuer. All weights and measurements provided are approximate only. Prospective purchasers should assume that all coloured stones sold by Dore and Rees have been treated unless otherwise stated to the contrary in the catalogue description. Stones are commonly treated to enhance their colour and clarity. Sapphires and rubies are commonly heat treated and emeralds commonly oiled. Jade/jadeite is often bleached, polymer/resin filled or dyed. Please contact Dore and Rees for more clarification on treatment in individual lots. Items containing rubies or jade/jadeite of Burmese origin are not permitted for import by the USA
