This is a custom Telecaster that I put together myself, with an MJT body, Fishman Fluence pickups, Tronical tuners and a neck from CEG Hardtails. Right now, this is my favorite guitar to play, it's my #1 go-to guitar. |

White Telecaster that's been heavily modded, tweaked & recycled. The only actual Fender parts left are the neck pickup, pickguard & some electronics. With a Warmoth neck w/Schaller locking tuners and a Rio Grande Muy Grande Twangbucker pickup in the bridge. Forearm and tummy contours make it really comfortable to play. |
I spent many years waiting for an opporunity to pick up a Chandler 555, and it did not dissapoint. One of my favorite guitars. I'm a big fan of the Mini-Humbucker pickups, and I installed a Chandler ToneX tone control for an additional kick. |
2003 Fender '69 Telecaster Thinline Re-Issue, Mahogany semi-hollow body with a cream-white finish and flame pattern revealing the natural wood beneath, with matching headstock. I believe Fender only made 200 of these back in 2003. Very cool looking guitar, great to play, too. |

This 1978 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe goldtop has plenty of wear & tear including some serious checking on the top, but it's got a lot of mojo. |
Another 1978 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe, in Wine Red finish, my favorite Les Paul color. This one is also pretty beat up, but it's got a lot of character. |
2020 Gibson Les Paul Classic in Translucent Cherry finish. I've always been more of a Fender guy, but in the past few years, I find myself playiong the Les Pauls more & more. |

2015 Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cut in classic "TV Yellow". One of the all-time greats for straight-ahead rock. This model has the "robo-tuners" which a lot of people don't like, but I think they're pretty useful. I've been playing this one a lot and it's become one of my favorites. |
Back in 1977, I bought my first guitar at a flea market for $10. It was a knock-off of a Gretsch Country Gentleman. No model name or serial #, just "Blackjack" on the headstock. Painted-on F-holes! That specific guitar is long gone, but I recently found another one; needless to say I paid more than $10 for this one, but that's the price of nostalgia. |
Supro David Bowie Limited Edition Dual Tone, based on the main guitar David Bowie played on the Reality album and throughout his final world tour. |

Customized Fender Blue Flower Stratocaster, with Suhr Michael Landau pickups, a beautiful Warmoth neck with graphite nut & vintage Fender-style frets, and Tronical motorized tuners. |
Modified Fender Stratocaster. Originally a Squier Affinity Stratocaster HH, I replaced & upgraded everything except the body; an actual Fender neck, Fender locking tuners, GFS 60's Overwound pickups and a GFS bridge. All because I can't resist a Pink Sparkle finish! |
A Fender Stratocaster, faithfully recreated as George Harrison's Strat known as "Rocky". |

Danelectro Sitar, a copy of the Coral Electric Sitar from the '60's. Features GOTOH Sitar Bridge and 13 drone strings. |
2016 Gretsch Streamliner G2420T hollowbody in Gold Dust finish. With licenced Bigsby vibrato and Broad'Tron pickups. Saw this one up at a good price, I couldn't resist. |
The Epiphone Dot is Epiphone's version of the classic Gibson ES-335 semi-hollowbody. Not my usual cup of tea, but I'm pleasantly surprised how much I like playing this one. |

Xaviere DLX II bass, Spalted Maple body with a carved top and active electronics. A great bass for a very affordable price. |
Vineyard JB-N Jazz Bass copy. |
I picked this up just for fun. It's a cheap copy of a Hofner "Beatle" Bass by Rogue. It's great when I need to get a little McCartney out of my system. |

A Charvel Surfcaster. With roller bridge & nut. Of all of the guitars I've sold, this is one I miss a lot. |
A Jackson Surfcaster with a cool transparent orange finish. I replaced the stock humbucker with a lipstick humbucker to bring back more of that classic Surfcaster tone. I also upgraded the tailpiece/bridge to a Wilkinson/Gotoh Adjustable model. |

Another Surfcaster. This one was a recent reissue from Eastwood with a nice Seafoam Green finish. |

All the electronics from a Line 6 Variax in a custom Warmoth body (with pearloid top) and birds-eye maple neck with matching mother-of-pearl dot inlays. Graphite nut, Schaller locking tuners, contoured body-- all my favorites. |
Breedlove CM acoustic. The top was bordered in abalone with Bloodwood binding. The peghead and fingerboard were also Bloodwood, and the back & sides were striped Macassar Ebony. A beautiful guitar, sad to sell it but I needed the cash. |
This one was custom designed by hand-picking the body, neck, pickups, hardware, etc. from the best manufacturers in an attempt to build the ultimate guitar. |
