New guitar imminent. Get aredy!
Long Time No See
I am starting a project with the 1984 Westone Concord SX. I’ve bought everything I think I need. Details next weekend.
Fernandez Strat Copy
Short post because there isn’t much to say about this generic Strat copy. This is just a generic project guitar. I picked it up cheap because it was broken. The bridge was screwed up, the pickguard was broke and the electronics were shot. I don’t even remember if it had any pickups. It’s what I … Continue reading
Fender Princeton Chorus, Circa 1994
You can’t have a guitar page without some amps. So here’s mine. This is my 1994 Fender Princeton Stereo Chorus. A real stereo chorus amp! Look at the schematic! This is actually my second Fender Princeton Stereo Chorus. Both are early 90’s models with the black knobs. I still have the other one, but it … Continue reading
Lame Links: Guitar Parts Suppliers
I don’t feel like editing a bunch of pictures this week, so for THIS WEEK ONLY! I will post another Lame Links! Places I get my guitar parts! Guitar Fetish. If you can stomach their over the top hype, this is probably your best bet for decent quality low-cost stuff. All the parts you need, … Continue reading
2014 Fender Jaguar
This guitar is what happens when a cherished guitar maker decides to throw away its brand equity. First, some history. In the 1980’s, Fender was on the ropes. CBS Instruments had pillaged the company and burned the brand to the ground. The only reason to buy a Fender over one of the excellent imported copies … Continue reading
1999 DeArmond M75t
Note: this will be my last major update for a few weeks. Vacation beckons! Guild was acquired by Fender in the late 1990s. They decided to bring out a DeArmond line of cheaper Guilds, alà Squier. Instead of calling them Squiers, they used the DeArmond brand name, which Fender had the rights to. Read all … Continue reading
2000 Squier (Cort) Telecaster
Twang King! This is my 2000 model Squier Telecaster. My mom bought it for me for my birthday back in 2001. It was originally the “fat” variant, with a humbucker pickup in the neck and a traditional Telecaster pickup in the bridge position. I really didn’t care for the obnoxious ceramic magnet single coil in … Continue reading
Nostalgia Part 1 of 283,429
I was a little busy this weekend, watching Len Cella play the organ with his organ. Actually, I have plenty of time to write a detailed post about another one of my guitars, but if I do that each week I’ll run out in a few months and have to resort to filler posts from … Continue reading
1984 (?) Electra Phoenix
This Electra Phoenix was my first real electric guitar. Well, the others were real in a technical sense. It wasn’t like my Synsonics Terminator was an ‘air guitar’. But that guitar was just a toy. Nobody takes a guitar with a built-in speaker seriously – not even me. I believe I got this for my … Continue reading
