WOW-type rare. I’ve only held 2 in my hands. This is a 2000 Terry Rogers “Mallie” made by John Suhr before he was a bigashot (as my grandfather would say). Designed as the “Private Stock” of the EVH world…this guitar features a carved top with a Private Stock grade top. It has museum grade birdseye maple neck woods. Custom neck carve. It is complete with the original case, paperwork and cert. Just never see these for sale.

2014 Tom Anderson Short Raven.  Serial number 03-24-14N…but don’t waste your time going to the TA site for specs…simply click on the link above!  I do the work that others are too lazy to do…plus I get into detailed condition descriptions. This guitar is extremely clean.  Most would call ‘as new’ or Mint…I add a ‘-; knowing someone out there will get an electron microscope and find an amoeba sized ding and claim foul…

Avoid the 3+ Year wait and get a Prototype. My personal guitar built to my specs by Mike. Florance Voodoo ’59 Pickups that were swapped into the guitar by my tech to replace the original Lollars. Brazilian RW Board. Just 8lbs-11oz with a top-mounted Skyway trem that is stable like a fixed bridge (and easy to palm) while offering smooth gradual to crazy trem.

Hand crafted in Switzerland! Set Neck Mahogany Body & Neck. LIGHT at just 6lbs-9oz. 25.5″ Scale for snap but growl of mahogany and P90s. 1.65″ Width and 12 Radius. Beautiful contoured back. Mint green/blue color and pearloid guard make this a show stopper! Feel this one resonate and you’ll be sold too! This was a 2015 NAMM guitar. I am an Authorized Dealer!

Have you seen the YouTube series by Juha Ruokangas regarding his pursuit of the ’59 LP next generation?  I was inspired by it…enough to be a stocking dealer for years.  New this guitar is in the $8ks with a long wait of about a year.  This 2010 Unicorn Classic weighs in at a polite 7lb-14oz and features Spanish Cedar body/neck and a highly figured Arctic birch top.  Jumbo Stainless frets and Haussel Pickups (think clear PAF tone).

What sets Unicorns apart?…they have a 3D tone found only in the top shelf of instruments.  Think overtones along with even sustaining fundamental notes. Nice satin finish and a sonic footprint that will leave you asking ‘where’s the B(-eef) when you listen to a G product.

2013 Ribbecke Halfling.  This was a Mint condition guitar.  Somehow in shipping it received some damage to the back.  The back has some cracks slightly into the wood.  The guitar plays and sounds fantastic.  Structurally it sounds refined and elegant.  Smooth notes.  Clear like an acoustic guitar was married with a LP and 335.  Save a boatload on a guitar you won’t be embarrassed to take out or to place wear on.  Chambered Wenge/Western Red Cedar body with Mahogany Neck.  Heavy frets and 1.75″ width.  Duncan pickups.  Just 7lb-5oz.  Reunion Blues padded bag.  Ebony board and Soft V-to-C neck profile.  Read the spec sheet…says “mint -” but that was before the damage so take that into account.

Sasha Radicic makes world renowned classical and acoustic guitars.  His works are cherished and the lead time is lengthy.  It is said that that the true test of a luthier is their ability to make an acoustic sound beautiful.  Take those skills, apply them to a familiar Strat format…use top woods and then you get the most amazing tone at a price you can’t beat.  I traffic in the hardest to find gear..and I’ve had the pleasure of playing most of the best.  I’d hold this tonally up to the top notch guitars I’ve had the pleasure of playing.  It has clear precise even notes, resonance, and overtones.  You just don’t get that from the instruments you typically find.

AUTHORIZED DEALER! WOW guitars owned by Slash, Richie Sambora, Hetfield, on and on! This is the Wine Series made with 120 year old chestnut! Hand crafted! The tone is clear and warm without harshness. The guitar sounds old and has that slightly rounded top end that we all seek in vintage pieces. Each one is unique and one-off. Invest in an instrument that is creative, soulful, playable and worth every penny

BRAND NEW! Authorized Dealer! Carved Top MONSTER! Unreal quilt top & custom color! WCR Pickups! Unplayed! Authorized Dealer! See the pictures for a spec/condtion sheet with all the details! Trades…sure shoot me an email with what you’d offer (and its condition).

Find a builder who has a Masters in Guitar Building…and artist…a craftsman who spent his life understanding and perfecting his craft….Peter M is that person.  I’ve visited his shop on several occasions and Peter is fascinated with the guitar, tone and the pursuit of perfection at a price point typically reserved for stamped out production rubbish (love that word).

Maple & Spanish Cedar body/neck.  Hand wound custom pickups to complement the instrument.  Wenge board.  Nice Medium V neck profile and 1-11/16″ width.  I specialize in boutique and especially love guitars that add something different to your collection…inspire you again…make you feel like you’ve been spinning your wheels.  This Malinoski, for $1599, is the cheapest rehab imaginable.  If it cost $10k you’d be drooling over it selling kidneys.

Brand New Authorized Dealer! KORINA BODY & NECK! Carved Top! Cocobolo Board! Amalfitano Pickups. Matching Headstock! Loaded with upgrades because I ordered this to be ridiculous. Mike is one hell of a builder who puts such detail into every instrument. No two look or feel the same. But they ALL play the same great way and have warmth and clarity which to me are signs of a top notch guitar.
