Newest core model from PRS, the is a marriage between the original quintessential PRS guitar, the Custom 24, and a very recent classic, the model. Now combine this with the switching system and you get the Custom Best of all, the output is very well balanced on all settings so you don't have to constantly play with your volume control.
Xotic Effects Soul Driven Overdrive , pic2. One of the best pedals for replicating the tone of an overdriven tube amp, the Soul Driven offers extra control in the crucial midrange frequencies.
It features the usual Volume, Gain and Tone, plus an active Mid-Boost control that really brings your tone up in the mix when wanted. Runs on a normal 9V DC adapter and of course has true bypass to preserve your tone. The American Deluxe was Fender's top of the line production Tele with high end features and premium tone woods. With its bound ash body finished in aged cherry sunburst with a rosewood fretboard board, it has the classic look of a 60s Tele Custom. Features include premium swamp ash body with body contours on back, bound top like the old Tele Customs, contoured neck joint for easy access to the upper frets, Fender's ingenious S-1 switching with a push-button switch built into the volume control along with a 3-way selector and with the S-1 engaged in the middle setting both pickups series or parallel you get four great tone selections, master "no load" tone control, modern C-shaped maple neck with a thin satin polyurethane finish, compound radius fretboard, N3 Noiseless pickups for classic Tele twang without the hum, one-piece maple neck with an amber vintage tint, abalone dot inlays, 22 medium-jumbo frets, Fender locking tuners, and a modern chrome stainless steel Tele bridge with chrome-plated solid brass saddles.
This is a great playing Tele, nice weight and as twangy as you want to get. Includes original Fender case with key. Washburn Paul Stanley Guitar Picks. I have around 20 of these which I just found today. Sealed in factory holograph packing.
Additionally, the back and neck are blue stained as well as the headstock, where you can clearly see the mahogany grain. When they moved from Annapolis to Stephensville PRS eliminated most of the hand-crafting in favor of CNC machines and made a few other cost-saving changes. Now over 25 years old this guitar is officially vintage and it's noteworthy that this is the 13,nd guitar PRS had built in the 7 years they had been in business.
Just a few light scratches and tiny impressions in the clear coat, nothing through to the wood, and no finish checking. Includes nice original case and trem arm.
If you're looking on a fun travel size bass that plays great and sounds more serious than its diminutive size the Gold Tone ME is for you. It features an active transducer under the saddle with volume and control pots also in the circuit. Battery is easily changed via back panel but if you unplug when not in use you'll likely gear a year or more out of a single 9V battery. Stock strings on these were the polymer rubbery strings as used on the old Guild Ashbory but thankfully this bass is compatible with steel-wound nylon strings which are on there now.
Other features include Gold Tone Micro Bass Specifications include Naytoh body and neck with satin finish, walnut fretboard, 24 frets, two-way adjustable truss rod, black hardware, bone nut, 4. As cute as it may be this bass is not a toy. Set up is low and very easy to get around on.
I think I a few of these in stock now so inquire if you need a pair. Some of the finest sounding amps I've had were the early Princeton Reverbs and when the Deluxe Reverbs skyrocketed in price the Princetons became that much more desirable.
Eventually word got around and Princetons were fetching twice the price within a few years. Fender recognized that the public was switching over to lower powered grab-'n-go amps so they reissued the '65 Princeton Reverb.
Classic Fender clean is in there as well as a quality overdrive tone at reasonable sound levels. The reverb and tremolo, both tube-driven, is certainly the icing on the cake. This amp appears to have seen very little to no use and is offered in beautiful condition and includes cover and 2-button footswitch.
Excellent buy for the buck for anyone looking for a classic rock axe. This model is very reminiscent of the old SG Juniors with its single pickup and wraparound tailpiece. The SG Melody Maker is even simpler with just a volume control no tone control. Features include Satin White finish with what Gibson calls a textured satin finish, mahogany body and neck, narrow Coke Bottle style headstock with Gibson deluxe tuners, single T ceramic-magnet humbucker, vintage wraparound tailpiece and very comfortable Melody Maker neck profile that's nicely rounded but not at all fat.
Set up is low and buzz-free with a very good rock tone which cleans up well when you back off the volume a tad. Offered in immaculate condition. Includes original gigbag hardshell case available for upcharge. Same specs as Satin White model above with exception of pickguard which was changed to 4-ply white pearl and Gibson speed knob.
A few minor cosmetic flaws but overall ex cond and again a really nice set up. Ah, the iconic SG double neck. Who can't look at one of these without thinking of Jimmy Page in concert or "The Song Remains the Same" concert documentary. These aren't typically guitars you play all night long but whip it out for a few select songs and the audience inevitably claps louder because you can "play two guitars at once", and you'll be able to use it like Jimmy, Slash and John McGlaughlin, etc.
Epi made these in bolt-on or this more expensive set-neck model. Later years these were Chinese made but this one is Korean manufacture Unsung factory which we've found to be markedly superior to Chinese. The set up on this guitar is fantastic, on both necks, with low action and nicely dressed fret ends. For those who aren't familiar, there is a 3-way selector to choose 6-string, string, or both. Both is used when you want the un-used neck for its special "droning" effect, which sounds pretty cool if used properly.
Each guitar also has the standard 3-way pickup selector for neck, bridge, and both pickups. The pickups are Alnico humbuckers and they sound very good. Nothing makes the crowd go "wow" more than when you pull out the double neck and you needn't spend thousands of dollars to get a great playing, nice sounding Gibson. Includes Epiphone case and one killer pro set up. Note: broken string will be replaced, LOL. Heartfield Talon Pickguard. I forget the model numbers on these but this is the HSS model, single ply, black.
The R9 has always been the Big Daddy of the Custom Shop line, and features Gibson's finest woods, superb craftsmanship, and features that are historically accurate for the true holy grail of electric guitars - "The Burst". You'll note a lovely top which is the calling card on Bursts and as on most of these the flame extends from top to bottom, edge to edge. The original 'Burst, with varying degrees of figuring, was introduced in ' Historically, there wasn't much of a change between the '58 and '59 model, other than jumbo frets on the '59, but as it turned out, that was hugely significant, and the improved ability to do string bends made the "'Burst" the choice of late 60's icons such as Page, Clapton, Bloomfield, and Peter Green, leading to its eventual holy grail status.
Oddly enough, the term "Les Paul Standard" wasn't used until the early '60s, after this model was phased out. This guitar was collector owned, and like most collectors, spent nearly its entire life being looked at rather than being played.
Good news for the used guitar buyer since you can get a guitar that's in stunning condition for way less than a new one. Almost a pound lighter than the R9 I put up two months ago, this one weighs in at a really nice 8 lbs 12 oz on the nose. Necks on these are thicker than the '60 Thin Taper; it fills up the hand more. Set up is super comfortable. Includes Lifton-style brown case and a bunch of paperwork. Mint in box. Includes box and manual. Vintage Fender Neckplates. Newer USA plates from the 80ss include F-plate, Fender with tilt adjust hole and Corona with or without tilt adjust.
Prices vary but if you need one, just ask. Since the synth access is built in, tracking is as good as it gets, without the cumbersome added on pickup of a non-integral synth access guitar. It plays with ease with very comfortable action with a firm, responsive feel, much better than an acoustic nylon string to me. Cosmetically, no breaks or serious issues but it does have two dings on the top edge as shown here and here.
The acoustic bridge has individual transducer saddles powered by a customized preamp system from the RMC. A composite guitar that rivals Parker for modern design and sheer vintage elegance. Rather than go into intricate detail I've included a full 3-page pdf file for a full blown review from Guitar Buyer UK magazine. Click this link for the full rundown Liekki. Composite and non-wood guitars are nothing new, going back Danelectro's masonite bodies of the 50s, to Dan Armstrong's plexi bodies of the 70s, and more recently Steinberger in the 80s and Parker in the 90s.
Back in the 90s I also had around a dozen or so aluminum body Strats. For those unfamiliar with the brand, Flaxwoods are made in Finland and the Liekki is one of their high end models featuring a semi-hollow body design with a single F-hole and full tone chamber inside, with a Flaxwood resonating backplate.
Available in various colors, pickup choices and bridges, this one features a classic goldtop finish with two Duncan P90s and a Schaller LP tremolo bridge. Flaxwood's philosophy, shown in this model, is: vintage elegance with modern design.
Specs include Flaxwood composite material, F- hole, Flaxwood resonating backplate, 3D glued neck joint, Reviewers site this model's acoustic tone and it is worth noting, but plugged in it shines on all settings, great clean tones and through a higher gain settings it sings without any shrillness you might find in P90's and also fairly quiet.
It has a very pleasing full-bodied midrange tone when cranked. For Premier Guitar's review from click here. Includes original case, trem arm, Flaxwood leather strap and tools. Note that most of these pics are of this very guitar but taken with a much better camera than I use…or maybe just a better photographer. Anyhow, I elected to use the better pics.
The DM9 was probably the most basic of Tacoma's line and just your basic spruce and mahogany dreadnought, but the tone and playability are anything but basic.
It's a wonderful sounding D-size, with remarkable bass response and not as mid-range heavy as many mahogany models, and the satin finish contributes to a very lively sound with good sustain. Unlike a vast majority of all older Tacoma models this one exhibits none of the finish lifting that plagues nearly all the Tacoma WA models. It features all solid woods with a solid Sitka spruce top; solid mahogany sides and back; one-piece mahogany neck; light satin finish throughout, rosewood fretboard and bridge; chrome tuners; wide 1.
This one hasn't been a case queen and has some honest playing wear, plus one repaired center seam crack shown here , which my tech Martin professionally glued and cleated 7 years ago so it poses absolutely no future problems at all and has not affected the tone.
Also, the clear pickguard has been removed and a J pickguard installed in its place shown here. There is some pick wear this guard is covering up and some is visible around the lower edge. This is a nice playing, excellent sounding flattop and a very rare older Tacoma without finish separation. Includes TKL hardshell case and original paperwork. Made in Tacoma, Wash. Bruko Baritone Ukulele — Made in Germany , side , back , headstock , case. They require no amplification.
German made quality at the price of a Chinese baritone. Rogue 2-Space Padded Rack. Features comfortable handles, shoulder strap, and zippered pouch. I thought this sold many years ago but I just found it. The VS features 8 tracks with 64 virtual tracks, mixing, effects processing, and hard disk recording via Mb zip disks which allows this to act as an all-in-one unit. The was the first generation VS-series but it sounds as good today as it did when this model was introduced in Many users pick this unit since it requires little in the way of a learning curve associated with many other units, including an innovative EZ Routing feature which guides users step-by-step through all basic recording, mixing and effects processing functions.
Those with little or no previous digital recording experience can be performing sophisticated track bouncing, rhythm loops, effects routing, mixing and more in no time. It produces CD-Quality stereo sound reproduction and professional mix-down features including added effects reverb, delay, chorus, etc. One of many cool features is the Tracking Cut section, where you can set your monitor mix, from any of the tracks, to your taste, e.
This desk top unit is equally at home in the studio, but easily portable to do quick set up live remote sessions. For more info and downloads go to RolandUS. Also includes original manual and quick start manual.
Crest Audio Studio Power Amp. Excellent old school reference amp that's excellent for studio mains or in a guitar rack where you don't want the amp coloring the sound of your preamp. Although pricey back in the day Crest was highly regarded gear for quality and dependability. Manual downloadable here. First one of these I've had and it's a nice one. It also features a classic Bigsby vibrola.
Should you ever wish to try humbuckers there would be no body mods required. The 94's features 10K output on the neck with Controls are the usual dual volume, dual tone, and a 3-way selector. A set of Grover mini tuners keep it in tune very well. Only mod are the strap pins which are the Dunlop locking type. Case is the Gibson brown case with pink lining. Appears to have seen little to no use and is offered in super clean shape with no discernible flaws.
Here's a mint condition Yngwie body, complete and all original, married to a fine fret Warmoth non-scalloped neck. You remember Swedish virtuoso neo-classical shredder Yngwie Malmsteen. He was the fastest player back in the '80s when speed was everything, but also tasteful and expressive when he wanted to be.
Middle tone knob controls the neck pickup while the bottom knob is a no-load pot that controls the bridge and middle. Neck profile is their '59 Round Back. The neck is outfitted with Hipshot locking tuners, staggered height so no string tree required. Features of the Yngwie also include Vintage White finish with Nitrocellulose lacquer, American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo, aged plastic parts, and recessed Dunlop strap locks. Martin installed this neck and set it up with very comfortable action and it sounds fat but still Strat like somehow.
Includes original case, Fender certificate, manual, trem arm, strap locks, key and back plate installed if desired. Electro-Harmonix Hum Debugger , pic2. Another ingenious unit from the geniuses at EH. Not a suppressor, not a noise gate. Simply absolute silence. If you use single coils and a bit of gain, or you use a longer signal chain through several effects you need this. Click here for a 3 minute demo by EH. ESP silver logo on lid.
Schecter has built some of imports in the guitar world. Although it looks like a SuperStrat, if you look closely you'll see f-holes which are a give-away for its semi-hollowbody design. It's a stunning looker with beautifully figured maple top, figured maple headstock, binding on all edges, MOP split trapezoid inlays and gold hardware. Electronics feature a pair of Duncan HB humbuckers with coil splitters on both of the tone pots, dual volume and tone controls and 3-way switch while hardware includes a Tonepros tuneomatic bridge, Grover tuners and strings through body.
Other features include set-neck design, all mahogany body with maple veneer top , mahogany center block, 22 jumbo frets on mahogany neck, Indian rosewood fretboard and Other than very minor scratches and clearcoat impressions it's in excellent condition other than a small crack under the high-E tuner see arrow here which is just on the surface but it has been glued and lacquered over.
Set up is low and comfortable. The tone has that nice airy quality you get out of a semi-hollow but in a cranked up amp is near impervious to feedback, better than a in that regard. Includes gigbag. Never retailed, unplayed, immaculate. Don't let the name fool you. Daisy Rocks were originally aimed for the "girl" market but there's nothing particularly girlish about this guitar. The Tom Boy closely resembles a Tele Custom in style and function with a traditional Tele pickup and bridge plate plus a PAF style humbucker in the neck.
This model has more sonic versatility though as both are humbuckers with single coil capability, each with a slider switches for choice of humbucker, single coil, or off. Pickups are very good quality Duncan Designed Alnico humbuckers. Also features string-thru body construction, Grover tuners, plus dual volume controls and master tone.
These pickups do a good job with a wide range of tones, from crunchy and heavy to clean and twangy. Players: don't snooze on this one. Named after Gibson founder Orville Gibson, these Japanese models are excellent guitars that provide an exceptional value for the money.
These were made in 3 factories during their run and this one was built at Terada in July as evidenced by the G inked serial number. You can also see in the cutaway pic that this model has the thick maple slab, same as a Gibson, rather than a thinner layer or veneer. What this means is that the tone will have a real LP Standard tone rather than a LP Special tone which is all mahogany. These guitars are closer to a Gibson Historic than many Gibson guitars.
In addition to the Classic '57s, thick maple top and nitro finish, they feature historic features like the long neck tenon, holly headstock veneer and USA hardware. You'll also note the headstock shape which is Gibson rather than the Epiphone headstock used in later years, with inlaid logo and screened Les Paul Model logo. It has the vibe of a year old guitar with a nice patina to the finish. The only real detractor are the 6 tiny holes inexplicably drilled in the top.
If they really bother you they can be plugged, stained and re-lacquered. For things that matter like playability and tone, I'll hold this up against any production Gibson from this era or later.
It's really that good. The neck has a very thin profile, perhaps a tad thinner than a '60 thin taper. Needs repair: Kramer Pacer Neck — Complete , pic2. A few people inquired on this and I thought that it was sold. Overall very nice vintage condition. Frets had a light dressed and have a fresh crown. These early Kramers are hard to find parts for. Fender HM Strat Neck , headstock. Hard to find part for late 80s HM Strat. Frets are in very good shape and it needs nothing to play great as soon as you attach it.
Neck feels great. Newer import version of the famed Starfire II which was a very popular model for Guild in the 60s and 70s. We're impressed with the overall quality - fit and finish are top notch, sets up very well, and the tone is very reminiscent of the vintage models. The Starfire is a true hollowbody so you get a very natural, organic tone and the acoustic tone is rich and loud.
All-mahogany construction gives this guitar a warmth and coziness, even when strummed acoustically. The shallow soft U neck has a 9. Scale is the same as a Dot, Hotone Jogg Guitar Interface. Dedicated guitar interface for connecting to your laptop or mobile device at a size of just a mini pedal.

DiMarzio Strat Pickup Set , back. Just yank out your old pickups and solder these in. DiMarzio is on the forefront of making vintage sounding Strat pickups without the hum and all three of these are some of the best anyone has to offer. It also features a Warmoth radius so it plays equally well for chording or lead work. First class work here. Plays exceptionally well and sounds excellent, both acoustically and electrically.
This is an excellent guitar for the price and is easily pro quality all the way. The original and greatest headphone amp — or stage and studio preamp. The X followed the Original Rockman and has all the same features but was designed with a different clipping stage and to my ears less noise. On the back of the unit is a small dial to adjust the input gain. On stage they were hard to beat. I used the Bass Rockman until I got tired of it but still used it for a few songs that needed a distortion setting.
Exceptional player and an excellent example of the Westerly RI Starfires. This one had a partial refinish but it's hard to notice. Somebody had sanded the neck down and it's been resprayed. Look factory. Also, the bass side upper bout has been sprayed over and it looks just slightly darker but is feathered in so it's hard to spot. This is a finely crafted archtop and sets up with action as low as you want. Includes original case with key. Small enough to fit in the overhead, but the Traveler EG-1 is also a very good guitar that will inspire you to play, unlike some other travel guitars that are more like toy guitars.
First off it features a full It also uses real woods with an African mahogany neck and body, finished in satin red. The distortion actually sounds very good, better than some distortion stomp boxes.
Other features include 22 jumbo frets on an Ebonized rosewood fretboard, Includes deluxe gigbag pictured. A lot of players are looking strictly for a crisp Fender Blackface tone, while others lean toward the ballsy crunch of a Marshall JTM The Buxom Better falls somewhere in the middle and is described as a blackface preamp section, with a JTM power section. It's not a gain monster like a Boogie or hot-rodded Marshall, but it's capable of medium gain settings that many players rarely want to exceed.
Hand-built in Los Angeles by one of the true guitar gurus of our generation, Dave Friedman, the Buxom Betty uses only the finest components and neat and careful hand-wiring. Features of this model include watt single channel all-tube with hybrid U. There are a bunch of YouTube demos online. Click this link for a list. Includes original footswitch. Epi's version of the LP Custom, truly the Cadillac of the Les Paul line, beautifully adorned with multi-ply body binding, neck binding, inlaid logo and split diamond headstock inlay, multi-ply bound headstock, and gold hardware.
In addition, from my observations, the neck angle seems to be better on Customs which allows for a very low set up at the nut, all the way up the neck. This one's finished in Alpine White, always a popular finish in a Custom. Pickguard was removed for aesthetic reasons but otherwise, it's all original and in excellent condition, other than two finish cracks shown here. Finish cracks in this area, or below the fingerboard, are extremely common on white Customs, both Epi and Gibson.
Prior to shipping we will lacquer over the area at no charge to prevent any flaking and color match the area, if desired. There are a lot of Tom Delonge fans out there. Like the Fender Tom Delonge Strat, the Epiphone signature model has tripled in price since the models were discontinued. Both models share one thing.
Both feature just a single humbucker and a volume control. An automotive waveform library is a must have in today's auto-repair-diagnostics business. It allows comparison and relationship analysis between repair cases. This database goes a long way towards that.
