2006 '67 Flying V Reissue

SOLD! Super nice 2006 Flying V '67 Reissue. Seriously, this is the best playing guitar that I have owned. It has added aftermarket chrome pickup covers that really mellow out the ultra hot 500T and 496R factory pickups. Did I mention it plays great? All original except for the tone cap, and someone has been in it with a soldering iron. A few nicks and scrapes, includes NOHC.

1962 Les Paul Junior

SOLD! Polaris White! Over-sprayed, and then 14 hours of wet sanding later, this all original '62 LP/SG Jr is ready to roll. All electronics cleaned and working, frets dressed, original bridge shows signs of wear. HEADSTOCK REPAIR! The repair is solid, but a little ugly. The P-90 is killer (go figure!). Original pick guard is a bit warped. Pots date to 1962.

Tom's Epi

A friend got this guitar for free and told me "make it good, make it cheap." He gave me a neck, a body, two pots, and six tuners in a garbage bag. The body was totally covered in colored duct tape. Somebody had started a nasty route for a humbucker. I made a nut, dressed the frets, oiled the tuners, cleaned and oiled the fretboard, gave the body a good cleaning and buffing, and made a pick guard that would hide some nasty marks and cover the open cavity around the GFS P-90. I was really happy with this pickup, and I'm picky about my P-90s. It sounds great.

1978 Marauder

SOLD! 1978 Gibson Marauder with a Seymour Duncan P-90 in the bridge position. It has obviously taken a few knocks in it's day but it's spirit remains unscarred. New nut and fresh setup.

1986 '62 SG Reissue

This guitar made me truly love SGs. Top heavy, weak neck, and all. When I got it, it needed a few parts and good setup. By the time I gave it to my good friend John it was set up nice and sounding great. I really dig how the cherry finished turned a reddish brown.
