Full sized jazz box anyone?  This one is an Oscar Schmidt OE40 with Guitar Fetish P-90s, Grovers, an aluminum Bigsby bridge and a custom-made aluminum pickguard.  Pretty good for rock-a-billy too and a mere $349.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just got a freshly re-tubed Fender Hot Rod Deville for you.  It is the great 4X10" model, with it's original footswitch, and it's only $499.......maybe should come right down?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The guitar that shouldn't sound good but does!!!  A 1971 Epiphone 6830E made in Japan by Matsomoku, it has an adjustable bridge and a bolt-on neck and not only plays great but sounds really good.  At $199 probably the best deal in town!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scott Miller gotten serious about hand winding some pick-ups and here are the first.....

First is a Gibson P-90 for $99 that he underwound to 5.85K, used alnico III and IV magnets and made a custom tortoise top.  It is a great choice for clean tones in the neck position.

Next is an old Fender Tele Bridge position for $79 that Scott wound to 6.83K so it should have vintagey output and good clean tele bite.

And now, a couple of Humbucker sets.  The "Clear Tone" set on the left and "Vintage" naturally aged set on the right.  Both are handwound and sound great @$259 per set.

 

And, yet another.  This is the Broad Force set with  more power yet still sweet sounding and very cool clear tops!!  Same price of $259 for the pair.

  

Short scale bass anyone?  This may be the best one, a 1976 Fender Musicmaster.....100% original inc (I think) the chipboard case.  Very clean and playing like a Champ (pun intended) and up for grabs at $599.

 

 

 

Yup, that would be a beautiful, high quality Ibanez Artcore AF105-NT-12-01 archtop.  For $499, with a hard shell case,  it is actually a great deal too!!

 

 

 

Rare and pretty wonderful.....A Lab Series L6 200 watt bass amp with a 15" speaker and the famous Lab Compression.  Made in the USA, has cover, in VERY GOOD condition and only $399.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

Two great Canadian made Art & Lutherie Guitars fresh from the factory.  The solid cedar top in antiqueburst on the left and another solid Cedar top in black on the right.  At $349 still the "best guitar for the money".

AND....a couple of the Folk size as well (same price).

 

 

 

 

People tell me it is vintage so I guess it is!!  "It" being a 1979 Fender P-Bass.  Reasonably priced at $1200 as it's finish was removed and it has a Badass Bridge.  Otherwise it looks original.  It does play fine and sound great BTW.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boutique!!  Hand made in Santa Fe by JoMama Amps the Kelemen Road Runner is an all tube, 35 watt, built like a tank, screamer.  Top quality parts and construction all around.  At $799 not Boutique price.

 

 

 

World class, full sized archtop in the house!  A circa 1950 Kay that Jim Tierney re-built, re-finished and re-fretted......resulting in what may be the best sounding guitar of it's type in town!!  (Plays very good too)  The price is $750 and all profits go to Jim to help with his medical bills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ear Candy anyone?  This is their 2X12" guitar cab with 1-Marshall Marquee G12T-66 and 1- Reinhardt RG5H-LC for speakers.  It is a birch cab with an open back and rugged as all get out!!  Could add to your sound for a very reasonable $249.

That's the Gordon Carlisle mural.  I asked Gordon for something bright and, ya know, with a guitar in it.
