Fender '62 Telecaster Custom (Sunburst)

The double-bound alder body and multi-ply pickguard that dressed up the ’62 Telecaster guitar distinguished it from its Butterscotch predecessor. And rosewood, originally introduced for cosmetic reasons because maple was prone to showing wear, quickly grew in popularity with the warmth it added to the classic Telecaster tone.

In the spirit of the original, our American Vintage ‘62 Telecaster Custom guitar has a C-shaped maple neck with a 7.25”-radius rosewood fingerboard. It also features a pair of ’62 Custom Tele single-coil pickups, a vintage Tele bridge with threaded steel saddles, and the original Tele circuit with three-position switch.

Fender (2009) Road Worn 50's Stratocaster (Black)

Few things in this world have gotten cooler with age than the Stratocaster. Born in the ’50s, they became even cooler after years of use (and abuse) on the road—morphing over time to look appealingly battered and feel even better than when they were brand-new. Fender’s new maple-fretboard Road Worn ’50s Strat delivers that aged look and feel—built to look, sound and feel like it’s got more than just a few miles on it, designed with 1950s specs, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish, and supercharged with Tex-Mex™ pickups and 6105 frets. Made in Mexico. Includes Hard Shell Case.

True to the original, the ’69 Strat has a catalized undercoat and lacquer topcoat.

Fender’s exclusive relic finish shows natural wear and tear of years of heavy use – nicks, scratches, worn finish, rusty hardware and aged plastic parts. The ’69 Stratocaster Relic looks, feels and plays like it’s taken the stage through many long nightclub hours.

Fender 1960 Closet Classic Stratocaster (Olympic White)

Inside and out, the ’60 Stratocaster Closet Classic guitar is a detailed recreation of its Kennedy-era ancestor. It features an alder body, ’60s C-shaped maple neck, and—for the first time in its history—a smaller truss rod and slab laminated rosewood fingerboard with clay dot markers. The pickup design is faithful to the original right down to the materials and winding, producing a characteristically smooth and glassy tone. Under the hood, Fender even replicated the finish undercoating and the crude pickup-wiring routing in the body.

This guitar features the “Closet Classic” treatment—built as if it was bought new in its respective model year, played maybe a few times per year and then carefully put away. It has a few small dings, a mildly checked finish, lightly oxidized hardware and aged plastic parts.

• Select alder body with “thinkskin” finish
• Maple neck, Early ‘60s “C” Shape
• Rosewood fingerboard, 7.25” Radius (184mm)
• 21 Vintage Style Frets
• 3 Custom ‘60s Single-Coil Strat® Pickups
• American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo
• Fender/Gotoh® Vintage Style Tuning Machines
• Nickel/Chrome hardware
• 3-Ply Parchment pickguard
• 25.5” scale
• Built as if bought new in its respective year and played a few times a year and then put carefully away
• Has a few small dings, checked finish, oxidized hardware and aged plastic parts
• Includes Deluxe Brown Hardshell Case (Gold Interior), Strap, Cable

Fender American Standard Telecaster Natural

The look, sound and vibe of the Telecaster resonate throughout the history and soundscapes of popular music. From orchestra pits to mosh pits; small clubs to stadiums and garages to recording studios, its signature sound is everywhere.

The new American Standard Telecaster still has the hand-rolled fingerboard edges, alnico V pickups and staggered tuning machines for playability, tone and stability, and now includes great new features including:

• A new bridge with improved bent-steel saddles mounted to a stamped-brass bridge plate for increased resonance and sustain.
• A new neck treatment-tinted for a richer presentation, with the maple or rosewood fingerboard buffed to a high gloss. The back of the neck still has that silky, comfortable satin finish.
• A thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance.
• A new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case.

Fender Vintage 62 Stratocaster (Ice Blue Metallic)

Now, the American Vintage ’62 Stratocaster recalls the vibe of its Kennedy-era progenitor, and features a capped rosewood fingerboard, three-ply aged white pickguard and unique ’57/’62 pickups.

Henman-Bevilacqua (2009) S1-R (Ryder)

In 2005, three diverse, sometimes difficult, and opinionated minds came together to form HENMAN-BEVILACQUA GUITARS . Each aware of the other’s strengths and weaknesses, they held one common vision. The dream was to fuse minimalism, craftsmanship, art, and old school quality to create the ultimate masterpieces… perfect for the master guitarist, yet with a sly nod to the image conscious connoisseur everywhere.

Jesselli Gold Modernaire

Incredible one-of a kind guitar. Joseph Jesselli designs and creates cutting-edge guitars inspired by the Art Deco and Art Nouveau movements of the early 20th century. The result is something of an anachronism; modern technology seamlessly blended with an elegant and classic aesthetic.

Base materials: “plum pudding” mahogany, mastadon ivory, African elephant ivory, ebony, horn (there are no plastics or synthetics), quarter-sawn curly rock maple

• 25 1/2” scale
• Tuning Keys: Gotoh, height-adjustable post, custom gold-plated buttons, modified housing
• Head Piece: Ebony face, gold-lip pearl logo, horn and mastadon ivory trussrod cover, ivory nut, arched nut fascilitates first-position playing
• Neck: Quarter-sawn ebony fretboard, pearl and mahogany inlay, silicon-bronze frets, compound-radius fretboard, quarter-sawn rock maple neck, carved ivory binding
• Body: Solid ebony cutaways, triple-gold-plated carved bronze sides, top and back are matching “plum-pudding” mahogany, hollow-body
• Tailpiece: Custom-made, triple-gold-plated
• Pickups: Leather-covered, gold and horn pickup rings, custom-made by Seymour Duncan on Jaguar bobbins
• Electronics: High-grade cermet volume potentiometer, 16-contour tone selector, five-way pickup selector, signal path wired in silver
• Knobs: Horn bases keep knobs parallel to strings, made from horn and mastadon ivory
• Bridge: Horn with masatadon ivory saddles, height-adjustable
• Toggle Switch: Carved horn
• Strap: Leather that matches the pickup covers, custom strap locks, adjustable length
• Finish: Oil finish (approximately thirty coats applied by hand), retains absolutely every detail in the carving
• Heel Cap: Ebony and pearl
• Comes with custom-fitted case with humidifier/de-humidifier
• All screws are machine screws that fit into tapped metal fixtures. This makes stripping impossible.
• Comes with all required tools

The carving on the back of the headstock serves two purposes. First, it adds strength to a highly-stressed area. Second, it reduces headpiece vibration which can cause “dead notes.”

The frets are made out of materials commonly used in bearings. This metal burnishes to a smooth surface with prolonged playing.

Neck joints are large sliding dove-tails. It’s an extremely stable and strong joint.

The arched nut and its distance from the fret nut fasciliates first position playing, making it easier to bend notes.

Absolutely everything is hand-made by one man in a shop. Nothing on the guitar is manufactured save for the tuning key housings and the pickups.

Parker (2009) Fly Mojo (Black)

The Parker Fly Mojo Electric Guitar is light, fast, and amazingly versatile. A solid mahogany body and neck provide warm resonance to the thick, bold tone generated by genuine Seymour Duncan Jazz and JB pickups.

Famous Fly playability and comfort are combined with simpler knobs and a more ergonomic control layout, easier-to-use vibrato, improved electronics, carbon-glass fretboard, Fishman 6-element piezo system, and Sperzel locking tuners.

PRS Paul Reed Smith (2009) Private Stock Eagle I Howard Leese Replica (Vintage Yellow)

Every PRS is special, but the Howard Leese Golden Eagle LTD joins an illustrious group of extremely LTD-edition PRS guitars. The PRS Howard Leese Golden Eagle LTD is an authentic model of Paul’s first-ever maple-topped guitar, which became Howard Leese’s first-pick axe for more than 15 years. (The top, in fact, came from a dresser drawer given to Paul.) Built by the Private Stock team, each of these 100 guitars has a stunning East Coast curly maple top (with a filled-in drawer-hole, like the original), plus old-style bird inlays and a vintage stain. All in all, you’ll find an incredible collector’s item — and a testament to PRS craftsmanship — in the Paul Reed Smith Howard Leese Golden Eagle LTD.

This guitar has a story

The Howard Leese Golden Eagle LTD recalls a special moment in Paul Reed Smith history. It’s a perfect model of Paul Reed Smith’s first-ever maple-topped guitar — an instrument that instantly became guitar-wizard Howard Leese’s first-pick guitar, for more than 15 years now. What made that first guitar so special is that Paul crafted the maple top from a dresser drawer his friend gave him — it sported filled-in drawer holes, marking its original woodworking intention. This Howard Leese Golden Eagle LTD features those same authentic drawer marks on its gorgeous East Cost curly maple top. The guitar itself features a Santana-type body shape — modified for the same thickness and carve as Howard’s — plus Paul’s old-style mother-of-pearl bird inlays (with modified wings). It’s even loaded with a Vintage Yellow/Amber stain, to perfectly match Howard’s guitar. You’ll find Howard and his special Golden Eagle on a recent cover of Vintage Guitar magazine. That beauty — and yours — will be indistinguishable.

LTD Edition, one of just 100

To further elevate the Howard Leese Golden Eagle LTD’s status, it’s part of an exclusive, extremely LTD-edition run. Just 100 of these collectible guitars are out there — Howard’s own makes 101.

Built by the best — personally checked by Paul Reed Smith
Paul Reed Smith’s Maryland workshop is known as home to many of the world’s finest luthiers. And, the Howard Leese Golden Eagle LTD was crafted by the best of those best — only the hands of Paul’s elite Private Stock team worked on this guitar. What’s more, to ensure that every Private Stock guitar is the finest instrument possible, Paul Reed Smith personally checks the guitar and signs it as a way of passing on his approval. After Paul’s close check, your Howard Leese Golden Eagle LTD then received a Private Stock number, along with a letter of authenticity describing its special specifications and features.

PRS Paul Reed Smith (2010) Custom 24 Limited (Orange Fade)

Officially launched at Winter NAMM 2010, the Custom 24 Ltd. is a 200 piece run for the player who demands vintage and modern features and playability at the highest quality level. This guitar is the first PRS model offered with our coveted 59-09 pickups that are wired for our 5-way blade switch, allowing you to capture the famous PRS sounds. The Custom 24 Ltd. will be offered in five eye-catching colors: Amber Black, double-stained Vintage Burst, Charcoal, and two unique stain fades—blue and red/orange.
“PRS is in the middle of a new stage, and the 59/09™ pickups are a big part of that. Like our 57/08™ pickups, the wire for the 59/09s™ is from the same machine that wired the legendary pickups of the late 50’s and early 60’s. This slightly modified wire and a few more or less turns, makes the 59/09s™ a little hotter on the treble and a little brighter on the bass pickup. They sound great.” – Paul Reed Smith

Al also suggested a tie-dye like finish for the guitar, to give it a truly unique look. Paul Smith and the PRS R&D team combined Al’s favorite guitar appointments and a full spectrum of colors to create a one of a kind PRS Guitar.

Al Di Meola was one of the very first artists featured on a magazine cover playing a PRS guitar and has supported PRS Guitars for more than 20 years.

Taylor (2009) Solidbody Standard (Tamo Top)

Taylor’s solid body electric was designed entirely from the ground up, and features our own humbuckers, bridge, tone controls and body aesthetic. No matter how far you push it, this guitar is right there with you. Growl and girth, spank and funk — it’s yours for the taking. Our solid body tone and supreme playability will inspire you to new heights.

Standard
An inset, figured Tamo ash top blends a deep golden glow with a toasted sunburst treatment. The Standard feature Ivoroid binding highlighting the sculpted armrest and cutaway. Coil-exposed Taylor Style II humbuckers unleash a huge, aggressive sound without sacrificing tonal nuances.

Taylor (2009) Solidbody T-3 B-51 (Sunburst)

The Taylor T3
The T3 continues Taylor’s quest to expand the range of tones available to the electric player. Inspired by both the T5 and the SolidBody, we’ve taken the classic semi-hollowbody sound and applied our signature Taylor design and tonal touches, blending our high-definition Style 2 pickups with a coil-splitting application to give players killer humbucker and single coil sounds in one guitar. A push-pull tone knob brings two sweeping modes of tone control. We’ve also paired a Bigsby tailpiece with a roller bridge on the T3/B model, giving players a high-performance vibrato bar without the pitch issues. Players who don’t need a vibrato bar can instead opt for a T3 with a stop tailpiece.

What’s great about the T3 is the way it soups-up a semi-hollowbody’s essential sound, transforming it into a hotrod guitar capable of a wider range of tones as a result of our pickups, coil-splitting, and unique tone control. All on top of signature Taylor traits you can always count on, like superb intonation and easy playability.
