A lot of people apparently think i am saying “Neutron” in this video...its actually a Mu-tron Phasor II....great pedal...they usually sell in the 400-ish range. A couple other phasers (or phasOrs as some say) that are contenders for the “alltime greatest” category...the original Electro-Harmonix Small Stone...and the 70s Electro-Harmonix Poly Phase (great sound, if you can get past the volume drop when the effect is engaged)<

Tom Bukovac not too long ago (sometime between 2021 and 2022) introduced the audience of his "Home Skollin'" YouTube channel to his latest and - most would agree - greatest guitar acquisition; his sunburst 1958 Gibson Les Paul that he refers to simply as "the burst."

Tom Bukovac's "main" Stratocaster and one of the guitars you see him playing most often whether it's live, in the studio, in promotional videos or in his YouTube series "The Home Skoolin' Show." It's a 1960 Stratocaster in three tone sunburst.

Tom Bukovac's is a 1961** Fender Custom Telecaster. It's another guitar he uses often and one which he refers to as a "resto-mod" as he replaced the original, non-functioning pickups with a high end new set. This guitar can be seen used all over his "Home Skoolin' Show" on YouTube being used live, at home, in the studio, as well as the excellent series "Inside Blackbird."

NOTE - Again, Tom's is a 1961 Custom Telecaster and not a 1963 as the heading says. The site did not have the option for a 1961 or even 1959-1965 Custom Telecaster. I tried adding it to the site using the link to Reverb's section for "1959-1965 Fender Custom Telecaster" but the site denied the link as "this equipment already exists" with a reference back to "1963 Fender Custom Telecaster." This explains the "1963" title. If anyone remembers the aftermarket pickups Tom Bukovac added to this guitar, of course please add them to this entry.

Tom Bukovac has owned a number of Gibson ES-335's and this cherry red 1963 model he currently owns was one he chose to keep over another 1963 ES-335 that was tobacco sunburst. Feeling that although the sunburst had a fuller, more full range bridge pickup, that the more nasal bridge pickup in this cherry model made for a more interesting middle position sound that he deemed useful for studio work.

For the last year or so since the summer of 2022, Tom Bukovac has been occasionally featuring a beautiful lake placid blue, 1964 Fender Jaguar on his YouTube based "Home Skoolin' Show." Many of his viewers feel this guitar brings out something very cool and unique from an already extremely eclectic and highly versed player such as the venerable "Uncle Larry." It's unclear if this guitar is still being "borrowed" as it was said in the description of its initial video appearance on the "Home Skoolin' Show" or if like many others, Buk has become it's owner.

In the YouTube video "Homeskoolin’ Volume 175, Tom Bukovac, 'Transition Logo Blues'" by 501chorusecho, Tom Bukovac, also known as Uncle Larry, showcases his 1966 Fender Telecaster in white. Although Bukovac, a renowned Nashville session musician, traditionally favored Stratocasters for their single-coil sound, he has recently embraced Telecasters. This particular guitar features a rare "maple cap" neck, a special order from the era when Fender had switched to rosewood fingerboards. These "maple cap" necks, produced between 1962 and early 1969, are prized for their distinct tonal qualities and historical significance, reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix's famous custom-ordered Strats.
