A Stallion I Couldn't Tame

This beautiful Telecaster was brought to my attention from a close friend after he saw it in a pawn shop. While the finish with the Maple Neck are a beautiful combo, the pickups just sounded too flat for my liking.

I decided to re-sell it after a couple of weeks and hopefully she found her right owner

A Natural Beauty

This beautiful Thin-Line Crafter was my Diamond In The Rough in Malta. I had been looking everywhere for a Wood Finish guitar which is also Thin-Line.

I had found this from a nice gentleman who needed to get rid of it in a hurry due to him going to move out of Malta and as soon as I spotted it, I knew that I had to own it.

This Electro-Acoustic features a Fishman Pickup and a Fiber Glass Back, which really makes its tones stand out and sound warm and bright.

A Lovely Gift, From A Lovely Wife

Meet Billie.

This beautiful Yamaha Acoustic has been on my wish list for months and I could not manage to find one in good enough condition. This one however, was a hidden gem discovered and purchased by my Fiancee as a gift for me. The only problem it had was that the electronics had stopped working, which I fixed in no time. This guitar is one of my favorite pieces I've ever owned and played.

The tone resonates like nothing I've ever heard before and it's extremely comfortable to play.

The Underdog

This is a Heavily Modified Yamaha ERG121.

It features a Limited Edition Sticker from The FEEDERZ that were published to Promote their 3rd Studio Album; Vandalism: Beautiful As a Rock in a Cop's Face. A "Heavy" sticker that I got from my workplace was also applied and the numbers '666' were written on it.

The pickups were swapped out with Seymour Duncan APH-2s Alnico II Pro Slash Humbuckers and Chrome Knobs were also applied.

Truly a beast of a guitar and a Kickass Brand.

My First Ever Project Guitar

This was my first ever guitar build when I started out messing around with guitar parts and soldering.

It consists of a Fender Sunburst Body (With Original Fender Hardware) + SSS Loaded Pickguard and a Limited Edition 2009 Kirk Hammett SE Maple Neck (Out Of Production).

Truly a beauty and one of the saddest days of my life when I had to sell it.

Great Bass For Any Genre - Gets The Job Done

• It is a cost performance model which realised balanced tight sound by adopting the resonance cast to the body material! 3 pc maple neck with bolt-on structure, rosewood fretboard, 24 frets specification,with PJ style pickup!

• It adopts a compact medium scale, it is possible to play without stress even for smaller people!

• In steady production since its introduction nearly 30 years ago, the Ibanez Soundgear (SR) series is a line of electric basses first sold in 1987. The SR bass replaced the popular RB "Roadstar II Bass" series, and, in fact the first production SR bodystyle is the next logical styling progression of the RB 850(Deluxe) Bass model. The 540R RADIUS was visually the 6-string partner of the RB850, and the two shared many traits that were incorporated into the SR, including the rounded-off angles, fully arched-top, slightly smaller size, and super-sleek lines. The main objective with the SR bass was to have a thin, fast, and smooth professional-grade bass that you could count on as much for the durability as the playability, and for the value as well as comfort. The body was thinned, subtracting weight & adding to its appeal, and the neck joint was redesigned adding stability & sustain.

Great Guitar - Regret Parting Ways With It

• This is a rare vintage 1984-1985 Hondo Formula-1 setneck Randy Rhoads shark fin V with Grover tuners made in Japan.
• Finish has some dings and as with most older flying V's, the tails of the "V" shape have been worn down but all is one piece.

Grover tuners, two humbuckers, three-way pickup selector switch, master volume, dedicated tone controls for each pickup. The action is set nice ,the frets are great, neck is straight, and all works great. The electronics are clean and the pickups sound fantastic. Beautiful block pearl inlays, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, Black hardware and trem arm. This is a beautiful, rare and well made vintage Randy Rhoads model guitar.

My First

This was my first ever electric guitar that was given to me by a friend who had lost interest in playing. It was in poor state and I continued to ruin it by smashing it everywhere and setting it on fire; To say the least.

I finally got around to fix it up and swap out some of the Hardware and Equipment in it.

Most of the burnt areas where easily covered by Duct Tape and popped on a 'Punk's Not Dead!' Sticker on it. Truly my most sentimental and treasured instrument.
