Citron CC1
Hand crafted Harvey Citron CC1 featuring a Hall-of-Fame quality quilted maple top. Unique style, tone that is clear and not muddied by colored pickups (Harvey wound his own P90s). Mann trem which I find to be amazing for stability, tone and ease of palm muting. This guitar is perfect for someone craving a Gibson JP JR meets Strat/Tele. The volume knob can transition this guitar from clean to snarl. Try something unique and timeless for less than the price of a stamped out ‘assembled’ guitar made from parts.

1996 Citron CS1 NAMM Guitar – Exc Cond
Harvey Citron was one of the founding fathers of non-F-or-G-branded guitars. Back before CNC Machines….before parts casters….a luthier was a luthier and they learned a craft then earned their way through word of mouth. Citron has lasted the test of time by earning their fantastic reputation. Hand wound pickups. Custom woods. Each guitar voiced specifically …not just parts tossed together. This 1996 Citron was the NAMM example back when there was no internet to sell instruments. It represents the finest workmanship. the guitar was featured in a publication that talked about how wonderful Citron Guitars are (copy included). This CS1 is in Excellent Condition and has no visible fret wear. Steinberger Tuners are SO easy to use. Custom Citron Alnico V pickups voiced to perfection for each position…it sounds like 1 instrument not 5 (with the combinations). See all the Specs and detailed condition in the attached Spec Sheet.
Soloway Custom Swan 27″ Scale w 3@P90s
Jim Soloway was a master luthier during the boom of the boutique guitar phenomenon. The 27″ Scale Custom Swan is an easy to play..smooooooth..cleeearrrrr sounding simplistic platform. You won’t fight this guitar. You won’t hear ice pick highs or deadness. You will hear amazing cleans with sustain. The korina body complements the Maple Top & Neck. You get the right amount of midrange with the nice amount of snap. Overall excellent condition. If you’re sick of the twelve-millionth strat clone out there why not pay LESS and get something UNIQUE.

2015 Echopark El Cabillo CASE STUDY – MINT
2015 Echopark “Case Study” El Cabillo. This was custom ordered by a customer who then fell in love with something on my site and traded…hint hint.

Played through a clean to moderate gain amp it is simple responsive, soulful and inspiring. I’ll be looking to acquire more for sure.

This 2008 is extremely clean with a NICE growl. Turn the volume down and cleans are EVER SO LUSCIOUS. I thought about putting in a kahler and some 9-string EMG pickups…but nah….
2012 D’Pergo Signature Ltd – Custom Color – Mint Cond
2012 D’Pergo Signature Limited. Where Do I begin?….well for one, these are the pinnacle of F-style guitars. SO very few are made. Each is now custom commissioned by the buyer and takes years to complete (with a long backlog). Stefan D’Pergo (for short) painstakingly selects aged woods including river recovered old growth woods renowned for their tonal superiority (and huge costs). Hand carved necks and bodies. Hand forged bridges. Hand wound pickups using select wires.
The result? Many assert that there is no finer. The satin finish on the offset neck is soft to the touch, fast and allows you to handle a slightly larger neck than you may believe you are used to and fatter equals tone). The weight is 6lbs-11oz…find a trem strat that uses the impossibly rare woods, is hand crafted and comes in at this type of weight. The tone is SO musical and even. Every note sounds like it belongs to the same instrument (unlike the others that sound like a bunch of pots falling from the Sanford & Son truck).
EVERY D’Pergo sounds different…hand crafted instruments do that. I have personally sold over 40 D’Pergos in our short history. I have more experience with them than almost anyone else on the planet. This is a large investment, allow me to help you determine if this guitar is right for you. I specialize in helping people avoid waits while getting a guitar that fits them. Order one for yourself?….ok….wait the several years and you get what you get tonally….no tears…now they ALL sound amazing..BUT how are you going to feel if yours is a tad bright and you want warm?…sick….that’s why people buy from me.
Gil Yaron Strat
Gil Yaron Strat! Impossible to find new or used. Just 7lb-7oz and loaded with aged parts & aged tone. Not sure how Gil does it but somehow his guitars SOUND old. That metallic yet slightly rounded off thing going on. Fat and clear. This won’t split glass in half like most starts. You will think your current production guitar is a skinny-minnie tonally after you play this.
Scott Walker Phoenix
Flame Mahogany & just 8lbs-3oz. Ameritage case. Nonsmoking. Excellent “+” Condition. See all the specs in the sheet attached in the pictures.
2013 Scott Walker Fathom or Phantom? (beats me)

2013 Versoul Henry – Mint “-” Condition

Finnish Alder, Aspen & Maple Neck. Hand crafted Versoul Pickups! NO fret wear & no dings. See the spec/condition sheet with all the details.
2013 James Tyler Studio Elite HD
2013 James Tyler Studio Elite HD in Hazmat Schmear…..mmmm…Semi-Gloss (my fave). Love the Quartersawn Maple Neck. Love the compound radius and heavy frets. Adore the delicious slightly scalloped board edges. Just 7lb-10oz & comes with the original case and Spec Sheet. These guitars are mid-$5ks now…wow…save a bundle on a clean nonsmoking instrument that has plenty of good notes left in it.
