Gibson Les Paul Customshop '60 Special VOS and a Marshall Haze 15. Killer combo!

3 of my Babies, the 1970 Dan Armstrong - 1969 Hofner & 74 P Bass
(next to a 360/12 & a Leslie Cabinet)

My OLD Studio in Cali, Oh yeah my Roland Bass Amp too

Man, I dig the Ricky! I'd love to have a 360 one day...

That Ricky Belongs to my Brother in law, we used to hang out at this Warehouse (Area 51)in Watsonville (of all places) & have Friday Night Jams with some Friends, quite the fun

That appears to be a Fender Super Six Reverb.

thanks G, it is indeed !

This Guy collected & restored some might fine Equipment

Ok here is my new acquisition and I have to say that I am rather pleased with it. It plays absolutely beautifully and sounds awesome. It is really well made. I compared it to the Hagstrom Super Swede and a few other Les Paul alike guitars and this one was just the best.
Indie Fleur De Lis. Tobacco Sunburst.

nice photos .

Hey all,
Just updated my collection:
I sold my 2004 US Standard Tele.

I bought:
2009 (10?) Vintage mondified Tele with the Symour duncan mini bucker in the neck....black pick guard over the dark natural.......like KRs

1976 (?) Music Man StingRay II guitar. It has some sort of preamp effect on it which I havent tried out yet.

So now for my Leoi Fender collection I own:
Squier Tele Custom
Vintage modified Tele
Music Man Staing Ray II
G&L Legacy.

Also a Gretsch and I'm thinking of buying a Guild acoustic

Which model Gretsch do you own Cafaro?

I mean, what about St Blues guitars???

Not long ago I found this on the web. I translated the owners writing from german to english and fixed some factual mistakes.



Fender CS Custom Relic Telecaster
- Fender CS Custom Relic Telecaster No. 3 of 20
- Built: 2000
- Custom Relicing by Fred Stuart (signed on the back of the CoA)
- Ash Body
- Wheight: 3,5 kg
- Neck: One piece Maple with soft flame, soft ´52 V-Profile
- Bridgeplate: GOTOH Brass
- Pickups: Fred Stuart Black Guard (Bridge), Seymour Duncan Custom PAF (neck) handwound, with Seymour´s signature.
- Strings: Ernie Ball RPS 0.11-0.48

"This guitar was set up by Fender as a limited edition Keith Richards Tele. The "human riff" was "not at all thrilled and forbade the action.
That this one still ended up as the No.3 Keith-Replica, is owed to Jason Allen of Virtual Vintage Guitars who handed it to ex-Fender Senior Master Builder Fred Stuart and said: do it! and Mr. Stuart, a connoisseur of Keith's '52 Telecaster, changed it to the correct relic and the right parts for a Keith-Tele
I think Keith has Sperzel tuners on his and a white switch button and of course only 5 strings ....... oh yes, his is a real '54!

This tele is very different from my other Teles, because instead of sounding "twangy" it's rather rocky and rich sounding, which is probably due to the Gotoh brass bridge.
The Keith-Tele has a fat midrange punch and in the middle position, it actually produces exactly those trade mark Keef-Chords.
I am a great Richards fan and got this exceptional guitar from my best friends and "blood brothers" as a present. In my life I will never forget this noble gesture."

err, it's not mine - I just found the article on the web.

Chuck Berry stuff sounds great on it.

Here are (most of) mine. Sadly my playing is not up to the standard of my guitars...

Finally I found her, or did she find me...
