'04 Kramer Jersey Star "Player" Richie Sambora Tribute- Player's special on a fantastic Jersey Star that's seen very little use, but encountered an accident.  This is the ca. '04  reproduction of the 80's Kramer's Richie Sambora Signature Model, and was offered from Kramer/Music Yo's "USA Collection" (Do not compare to some recent cheaply built Chinese JS models selling new for $300).  As the original Kramer factory closed down long ago, this model was developed and built from the ground up, with special thanks to Mike at www.VintageKramer.com and John Montaperto for their insight in designing this guitar.  Richie was under contract with other manufacturers and didn't officially endorse this model, thus the Jersey Star designation and "JS" truss rod cover rather...[Continued]

2012 Fender Factory Special Run American Deluxe Stratocaster Aztec Gold- What a beautiful look - Aztec Gold with anodized gold pickguard. The FSR in Aztec Gold It is part of a very Limited Edition Fender Special Run of 100 American Deluxe Strats. Originally outfitted with N3 pickups and S1 switch, at a customer's request we changed them to a new set of SCN's and removed the S-1 switch which is prone to failure in its current design. If you prefer, we can reinstall the N3 pickups but look around the web and most of you will probably decide the SCN's are better. This finish is the classic Aztec Gold featuring a gold anodized aluminum pickguard, like the Homer Haynes Ltd Ed from the 80's.This is a beautiful color combination.  Features include a Maple Fretboard...[Continued]

2012 Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom Cream- As new condition!  I've had this in black but it's even cooler in the Randy Rhodes color, cream.  With the Les Paul Classic Custom (LPCC) you can get the vibe of a Les Paul Custom for 1/2 the price!  It's high end cosmetic appointments have been the distinction in making the Custom the Cadillac of Les Pauls.  Multi-ply binding, bound headstock, split-diamond headstock inlay, and block fretboard inlays give it a look that oozes elegance.  Gibson finally decided to capitalize on that look, except on a less expensive, regular production guitar.  The primary cost savings comes from the lack of binding on the back of the guitar, "baked" maple instead of ebony fretboard, acrylic instead of mother of pearl inlays, and no gold hardware (although many original Customs came with chrome).  On the plus side, many players will prefer the thinner '60 thin ...[Continued]

Gibson Les Paul Studio Satin Ebony Rosewood Fretboard with extras- I you're not a fan of the recent burnt maple fretboards, this one is built with good old rosewood, like a LP is supposed to be.  This model is a meeting of the old and the new, with a carved mahogany top on a mahogany back, which has its roots in the 50's with the all-mahogany Les Paul Custom.  The thing you'll immediately notice with an all-mahogany Paul is the "roundness" and warmth of the tone.  While it doesn't quite have the note definition of a maple cap, it is definitely a fatter sounding guitar.  For pickups Gibson chose the popular 496/500 humbuckers used on other mahogany guitars like the Flying V.  Another notable feature is the nicely rounded '59 mahogany neck which will appeal to players who want something more substantial than the '60 thin taper.  From a luthier standpoint...[Continued]
