Versatile Tone Monster!
This guitar isn't quite Gibson, and isn't quite Fender, but I love it! It's the best of both worlds. I own a 1976 with alder, maple, and the blend potentiometer. The tone I get from this is much brighter than your average Gibson. I would consider it a very beefy telecaster type of sound. Being able to reach any blend between the two pickups and each individually soloed is incredibly handy for tone options. All in all, I love this guitar, and I truly believe this is an underrated vintage gem!

Swiss Army Bass
Much like the T-60, this bass can produce so many tones. With an almost bell like quality, each note sounds like you're striking piano wire. Not only does this bass have an incredible open tone, but it recreates a Rickenbacker 4003 and 4001 to a shockingly accurate amount.

The Most Universal Bass Tone
The original electric bass was the Fender Precision Bass. Some things never go out of style, this bass is one of them. I own the buttercream model with a maple fretboard, and I added a pearl pickguard with white pickup covers. I can play this bass in any studio or live setting, and it always sounds great. Pop, Punk, Rock, Country, Soul, Hip Hop, Reggae, you name it, it does it.

Classic Looks, Modern Tone
I have used this amp in many settings, including touring with my former high school's show choir as their guitarist. The amp has many tonal options, and can be used in so many settings. It cleans up to be super bright, but can also be cranked to get the gainiest distortion channel that would go toe to toe with any Orange or Mesa Boogie out there.

Go To Amp
This amp isn't just classic, it's timeless. Although the original design hasn't changed much, it continues to move with time and evolve with music tastes. Nice tube saturation really makes every guitar ring with a sweet sound. I use this amp at almost show. Big or small, this amp sounds incredible!

Swiss Army Guitar
I own a 1979 version of this guitar in a natural finish. This guitar is packed full of tonal options. Being the first guitars built on a CNC machine, they overbuilt these things, and they hold up like a tank. Wide open, these guitars have a nice woody tone, and they're quite twangy. They have one of the thinnest necks I have ever played. They can emulate many sounds, whether it be humbucker or single coil. This is a piece that is very underrated and every collector should own one!

Classic As Classic Gets
While I'm not the biggest stratocaster fan, this guitar covers all the bases that I would need! This is a big utility guitar for me. When a studio session needs a a clean, sharp sound, this is my go-to. I'm a big fan of large necks, and this guitar has a baseball bat for a neck. It's very clean and lets me dig into it without ruining the tone.

Weird, Wild, and Wonderful
As one of my weirdest and more rare pieces, I love this guitar. It's like a B.C. Rich, Stratocaster, and Telecaster all in one. This thing is an eye catcher for certain. The bridge pickup is a lot hotter than you would expect, while the neck and middle pickup are very mellow. You can produce a lot of interesting tones with this. Stellar looks, and even better tone!

Something Different For Your Tone Palette
Mix the sonic sound of a Gretsch with the solid body stability of a Fender, and this is the guitar you get. The filtertron type pickups produce a nice clarity, while the solid body let's every note sustain very well. When the volume is rolled back, it cleans up nicely, but when you open it up it will produce a fierce roar.
