This magnificent guitar (Brazilian rosewood back and Italian spruce top) was built by the Larson brothers in Chicago, sometime in the 1930s. It is light and resonant and projects a sound much larger than its OOO size
a redwood and walnut limited edition (one of 8 built for Summer NAMM 2009) finger-style cannon with breath-taking highs and heart-pounding bass
there is nothing that sounds like this guitar ... that's why Chet Atkins, Earl Klugh, and Eric Johnson have all owned one ... mine is special ... a mellow resonator that sustains and chimes
Peter McMahon designed and built this little 25-watt howler ... cleans, when you need 'em, and breakup, too ... An amp EVERYONE should own!
I've got a '61 with the DeArmond Dynasonic single-coils ... but despite the difference in pickups, most of these Starfires are loaded with humbuckers (the single-coils are brighter and crisper ... think rockabilly instead of rock), it is, without a doubt, the finest electric guitar I have played. mellow and sweet when it's clean, and dirty and iin-your-face when it's overdriven ... perfect!
Mine is Fiesta Red ... but it's chambered mahogany body and the updated DeArmond 2000 single-coil pickups are a perfect match ... she moans and howls and sets my heart aflame. Her sound is bright and insistent, demanding and taking her place in the middle of the music ... if you can find one (they were only made at the Guild Custom Shop in Nashville for a couple of years) ... get one! You'll be glad that you did!
body carved from a bole of mulberry, frets tied onto the neck (in quartertones!), and tuners that are nothing more than sticks ... I tune its six strings like a mountain dulcimer (Cc-gg-cc) ... it differences from western instruments are eye-opening
a 1914 Gibson A-1, missing its pick-guard and with a long-ago repaired crack on the treble side up by where the neck meets its body, that is warm and sweet, and perfect for folk, and old-time, and Celtic tunes ... a special pumpkin top!
spruce top, mahogany back, sides, and neck ... rich and mellow with excellent projection ... not the most expensive one out there, but it works just fine for me!
spruce top, arched maple back, massive six-pole piece horse-shoe magnet pick-up ... great in the upper mid-range ... from what I can tell, made in 1936
My brown Vox Pathfinder 15r puts out 15 watts through a little 8" speaker ... it's solid-state with a great tremolo and a spring reverb ... and it'll curl your toes, bro! (don't bother getting the nearly worthless Vox foot-switch)
I bought this new in Apriil 1967 from Manny's in NYC ... had to have the neck re-set once and the bridge replaces twice, but it's a tank! with a wonderful jangle!
'94 Guild acoustic-electric (Fishman electronics) All Mahogany top and Body (AMB) ... some folks disparage these, but I've found it perfect for my kind of acoustic/electric music ... it does well at both!
all maple (body, neck, fretboard) with a spruce top ... a dreadnaught that will get your attention from the first notes!
... and it would be mine ... spruce top, maple everything else ... the sister of the M-340 ... the "TV" stand for "Traditional Violin" ... beautiful and chime-y!
my dear friend built this from a kit in 1975 and inlaid the headstock and painted the resonator and the head ... 11" frosted plastic head, cast metal 1-piece rim and tone ring, 24 hooks and nuts with individual flange pieces, mahogany resonator with tortoise plastic binding, and mahogany neck with 22-fret rosewood fingerboard ... kind of a mellow little thing
built for me by a friend in Canada, "Toirneach" ("Thunder" in Gaelic) is a much better drum than I am a player ... but I intend to continue beating the goat ...
