2020 Larry WYSOCKI Custom Tele/LP – Brand NEW! Look at the EXOTIC WOODS!

Think about it…would you buy an acoustic guitar made from crap wood?  Why do you think the top end acoustics command so much money?…the woods combined with the craftsmanship.  Well, let’s start with the WOODS….there is ONE person on the planet who is THE wood guy supplying the world’s top luthiers with coveted planks….Larry Wysocki.  For over 50-years he is THE guy the top builds go to.  He searches the world for air dried woods, recovered woods, exotic woods.  He collects them and has a coveted stash that is sadly running low.

A few times a year, Larry builds instruments.  Usually for celebs, but on occasion he is nice enough to sell me a brand new one.  THIS is such a piece.  Oh and it just vibrates like nothing we have had.  The pickups are custom voiced TOM DOYLE HUMBUCKERS that are open and alllow the woods to impart their organic warmth and natural sustain.

Speaking of woods…how about 5A AIR DRIED Flame East Maple Top 150+ Yeat Sinker Recovered Woods on top of a 1-piece AIR DRIED 60 Year Old Alder Body!.  Oh, and a 5A 1-Piece Air Dried Maple Neck from 150+ years ago (Recovered Woods).  OH and the board…Brazilian Rosewood of course but not some stump wood…this is 100-year old Brazilian from the stash of Czech Republic Woods!.  You just can’t find woods like this anymore.

You can see the complete Spec & Condition Sheet in the 3rd Picture.

A couple other quick points before you bang out a question to me:

  • 6lb-8oz
  • Custom TOM DOYLE Pickups!
  • 12″ Radius
  • C Profile .83″ – .97″ Neck
  • 1-11/16″ Nut
  • Med/Lg Frets
  • Original Hardshell Case (no I won’t take a picture of it for you)
  • Sunburst NITRO
  • Double Bound
  • BRAND NEW WITH WARRANTY

1984 PRS Pre-Factory Metal Prototype #1 – Documented & Celeb Owned!

1984 PRS Pre-Factory Metal Prototype #1 – Documented & Celeb Owned!

See this on REVERB.Com:    https://reverb.grsm.io/33104934-paul-reed-smith-prs-metal-prototype-1-1984-pre-factory-ted-nugent-owned

 

Made by Paul Reed Smith….not the company….THE guy…before there was a PRS factory.  This is THE PROTOTYPE of the Metal.  It is from 1984 and is the #1 prototype documented from factory (included).  It is in Excellent Condition with the Original Hard Case and Tool.  Pickups are hand wound by Paul.

Extensive documentation and pictures of Ted Nugent with this guitar are included with the sale.

Paul took this piece as a sample to New Orleans and it was scooped up by Ted Nugent.  Ted “borrowed” this piece and played it in such iconic performances as his jam with Eddie Van Halen (pictures included) and Texas Jam.

This is a collector quality piece that also sounds & plays amazing.  Vintage PRS Guitars are priced extremely well and are poised for long-term appreciation relative to their peers.  If you watch the major vintage player sites, clean examples of F and G have been moving at ever increasing prices.  Don’t sleep on this.  It’s not another sunburst F…..it’s THE Metal that we all lusted after when we were younger and broke.

2020 Wysocki Tele : 60-to-150-year woods! 6lb-11oz!

So you spend your time searching for guitars.  You ask a zillion questions about them.  You read.  You play.  You test.  Details matter to you.  You understand that quality in equals quality out.  You’re reading this ad because you are intrigued.  Yeah you have seen ’boutique’ guitars ….names and faces…..maybe you’ve tried one or owned a few…you pay a huge premium for 1-piece bodies….brazilian rosewood….nitro finishes…hand craftsmanship….light weight.   But what you’re missing is THE WOOD damn you!…the freaking WOOD quality.

There are different GRADES OF WOOD AND THE BIG GUYS CAN’T WASTE THEIR TIME FINDING ODD PIECES TO MAKE 1 GUITAR.

Now…if ONLY there was a wood guy.  If ONLY that wood guy was the GO TO guy for the past 50 years.  If ONLY that go-to wood guy kept aside some CHOICE pieces and CREATED A HAND MADE INSTRUMENT then SOLD IT…..how does that not get every hair on your body (or the few that are left) standing up!?

Larry Wysocki is THE wood guy.  His instruments have recovered, air dried, exotic woods.  This guitar has a 1`-piece 60+ Year Old Air Dried piece of Swamp Ash.  The neck is 150+ year old SINKER MAPLE (D’pergo guitars with this are $16k).  Board is the DARKEST Brazilian we have seen……100+m Year-Old PItch Black!

Pickups?  Custom wound ROLPHs.  Weight?  6lb-11oz.  So think about all the pieces of wood you have to scour through to combine them into something that then comes out with a world class low weight too.  See why this is such a desirable piece?

Ok so now that you get it….read the 3rd picture for a complete Spec & Condition Sheet.  We are the ONLY Authorized Dealer for Wysocki Guitars….damn proud of it.  We get the very few a year that don’t go directly to a celeb (Larry only creates guitars on order for celebs now).

Standel / Requisite Audio Super Single-Ended

Standel / Requisite Audio Super Single-Ended

Impossibly Rare STANDEL / Requisite Audio SUPER SINGLE-ENDED Head! This was custom ordered by our best customer.  LOADED with features such as an effects loop.   Smoke Free environment and never gigged.  BARELY used.   Hard to find a mark on it but we’re certain you’ll fire up the ol’ electron microscope so we will grade it as EXCELLENT rather than Mint.

Comes with Matching Cab that is loaded with a Vintage Jensen Speaker (selected by Danny and created with cabinet as part of package to original owner).

Tonal flexibility at low volumes?  CHECK.  The switches and knobs are about as interactive as you could ever hope for.  You can FEEL the amp respond differently as you cycle through the options.  IT plays SO well with different varieties of speakers.  I had an absolute blast with this and my effects board of classic overdrives….LOVES pedals.

This amp has zero mods and no repairs or issues.  Hand created and a MUST have for anyone who wants to feel & hear nuance in their playing.

Danocaster TELE – Klein Pickups

Dano TELE  featuring an Alder Body and Rosewood Board.  .845″ – .97″ Neck Profile.  No Fretwear.  Klein PIckups.  Weighs Just 7lb-5oz.

Super guitar.  Resonant and has that bite we just LOVE in a tele…but cleans up ever-so-nicely.  Wear appears to be a combination of factory & user.  Always hard to parse out which is which.

See complete Specs & Condition in the 3rd pic.

Couple things to note (1) no tag because likely pre-dates tags.  (2) Case is a hard after-market with a big gash in it. (3) Three of the bridge screw heads snapped off….came with one snapped & 2 others just snapped off when I tried to remove the bridge to inspect.  I sent the guitar to Hogy (KOMET AMPS) who is one of the most respected restoration men alive.  He removed the stubs, repaired the holes and redrilled/reinstalled the bridge.  A-grade, no expense spared repair.
