2010 Mike Stevens (founded Fender® CS) Neo Classic

My favorite guitars? Mike Stevens, Mike Detemple & Johan Gustavsson. Why? They just achieve an extra level of 3D tone that you just don’t find. Craftsmanship that is a cut above even the finest….think Bentley. Mike’s Neo Classic is an 8lb-5oz Mahogany & Flame Maple masterpiece. Beautifully balanced to be comfortable sitting or standing. 1.70″ Nut width gives you just a touch more string spacing without feeling foreign. Beautiful bindings hand done. Carved top done by hand. Hand carved C profile neck. Florance Voodoo ’59 Pickups that provide under wound clarity able to play well with any amp. I use them in my own personal Mike Stevens guitar. Color was originally a brighter pink. Mike’s natural stains fade with time and this is a nice brownish maroon now. 3+ year wait for a new one.

Lieber Spellbinder

Piano-like tone Hall-of-Fame award. WOW…if you play complicated music and need every note to sound full and clear then you have found THE guitar. I’ve never experienced anything like it. Notes are just so beautiful you think it can’t come from a guitar. No rattles no white noise. Maybe it’s the quarter-sawn spruce wings on the solid maple core body? Maybe it’s the quarter sawn maple neck? Perhaps it’s the ebony board or 6–08 weight? Potentially the Custom SBG Armstrong pickups? Most likely, it’s the luthier who nailed it on this. Nailed it. Don’t waste this puppy on a Bogner…..even though I play one…it’s too beautiful sounding.

BC Kingston Fusion

This is a truly world-class instrument. Hand-carved top and back, hand-cut maple and ebony purfling and bindings, beautiful Mother of Pearl inlays, gorgeous hand-picked selection of the finest tonewoods, extraordinary fit and finish, awesome tone…… Lindy Fralin humbuckers .The Fusion is Brian Kingston’s take on this venerable guitar. To find more tone he has replaced the plywood top, back and sides of the 335 with solid select tonewoods. The Fusion’s mahogany neck, sides, kerfing, centerblock and fully carved back form a homogenous unit that really warms the tone and feeds the sustain. When the bite of the fully carved European Curly Maple top is coupled with the clarity, articulation and punch of the custom-wound Lindy Fralin humbuckers and added to the equation the result is that the Fusion is capable of almost pure acoustic sounds right up through those big, fat, creamy Duane Allman tones. A 2-way adjustable truss rod is flanked on each side by carbon fiber rods that extend from the peghead all the way past the neck joint to the 21st fret. This increases neck stiffness and sustain while adding little extra weight and eliminating the possibility of dead spots.

Xits X50 Head & Cab

Xits X50 Head & Cab

Rare Xits X50 Head & Cab. Head has loop and 2 channels. Not ear-splitting. Very 3D and notes bloom like you dream of. Custom matching 2-12 cab with speakers to compliment the head. The only issue is the rolex on the head and cab is coming unglued in sections so it appears as though the fabric is bubbling or raising. I want to be full disclosure…so save money on an amp others would charge you a “kings ransom” for (don’t you hate when dealers use that term. I do.
