I've bought, sold, and owned a countless number of amazing instruments.
These are the ones I kept.
The Following are part of my, for the time being, "permanent" collection.

1971 Gibson SG Standard
Dead mint condition. The amps are my 1974 and 1975 Marshall 2100 "Lead and Bass" 50w combos. This is same guitar/amp setup that Paul Weller uses. (And that man's got tone.)

1960's Fender "Offsets"
From Left to Right:
1962 Jaguar (Also Shown Below)
1964 Jaguar
1964 Jazzmaster (Also Shown Below)
1965 Jaguar

1966 Jaguar (My #1/Also Shown Below)
1966 Jazzmaster
1966 Jaguar
1966 Jaguar


1971 Gibson Les Paul Standard "1958" Reissue
Changed tuners and tailpiece. Missing pickup surrounds. 1950's P-90 in the bridge position.
I have the parts to get her back to original, but I don't wanna risk losing any of the magic. This one's mojo is off the charts!

1996 (April) Fender Custom Shop '51 Telecaster "Nocaster" Relic
One piece body. The finest "Tele" I've ever played. Out of this world in every respect!
100% Stock
SOLD!!!

Dararasmi - 1988 Gibson Les Paul Custom Ebony
The finest guitar ever to carry the "Les Paul" name. She weighs a ton and has loads of battle scars, but she's impossible to put down. This one's got a tone you can only imagine. When I got her, both her HB-L and HB-R "The Original" pickups were dead. All I had on hand was a set of custom wound Lindy Fralin PAF's that I picked up for $50 a pop at the Shibuya ESP Custom Shop. The best $100 I ever spent!
Replaced knobs. Pickup covers are from a 1987 ES-335.

1979 Gibson The Paul (Walnut)
If forced to unload all but one of my Gibsons, this is the one I would keep. I could explain, but you probably wouldn't understand. Regarding "The Paul" model, it's undoubtedly the most overlooked and (until recently) undervalued Gibson. Do yourself a favor, give one a try. These things can do anything!

Late 1969/Early 1970 Gibson SG Standard
My favorite SG version. This one's got the correct Paul Weller appointments (3 piece neck with volute).
Refret, oiled bone nut (original in the case)

1963 Gibson ES-330
My first Gibson! I bought this one from some burnout who was on his was to a Grateful Dead concert and needed money for...something or other. I paid $400 for her, which, at the time (1987), was probably too much. The bridge had been replaced with a 70's hippie brass type. (The original was in the case.) Seriously, she sounds and plays so much better with the hippie bridge!
Stock Bigsby, Factory Grovers

1966 Fender Jaguar
The guitar that brought about my love affair with this model. Need a rhythm track? This is the one I grab. (She handles leads too!)
100% Stock
(In the 60's, Stratocasters were for folks who couldn't afford a Jaguar!)


1969 Hardtail Neck/1968 body Fender Stratocaster
OK, everyone's gotta have at least one "Strat".

1972 Fender Precision Bass
Super lightweight, with the best tone I've ever heard. One piece body.
