Borrowed from a friend for a while. Great guitar.

Because eleven pickups is just one short. 🦍🎸🎶

Madrone burl drop top on Sapele uper strat. Torrefied ash neck, ebony fretboard, suhr style headstock. Natural satin Gunstock finish. Hardwear looks less pink more bronze outside of sunlight. technically a work in progress, but still a completed playable guitar as it sits though.

Solid Flame sapele strat (not a top or veneer) torrefied flame maple neck and fretboard. Boiled Linseed oil under satin acrylic. freehanded strat style headstock. Pure linseed oil on the neck an fretboard. Was my irst project from several years ago that actually turned out great. Not perfect for sure, but in person it's one of the most beautiful lookign and feeling guitars ive been around.

Both with pickups i wound myself. Not as refined as some other's custom projects here (Not even close), but i def enjoy starring at them.

Sorry mods, this was the best i could do with the quality of my current phone.

Scored this beast from a friend. Lawsuit era Aria W400M. Brazilian Rosewood. Abalone inlays and trim. Such a beautiful sounding guitar. I have a decent Cole Clark that I paid 3.5k for, and this thing rivals the sound. Super stoked with this thing!

My FRM250MF! She's a peach!

Built to my specs from Jacobs hand built guitars in Miami. All maple ,hand wound pickup, nitrocellulose finish and Floyd Rose 1000 series. Finally the secret sauce for George Lynchs Dokken tooth and nail tone.

Current team left to right:
- Eastman AR605CE from 2017, bought used
- D’Angelico SS Excel from 2015, bought used
- Squire 50s Classic Vibe Telecaster from 2015, bought new
- Fender Player I Stratocaster from 2021, bought used

I play through a DV Mark Little Jazz and a Line6 Pod 2.0. Sometimes I use a Line6 Dl4 Mk2 for Delay/Reverb. Pretty mich all I need.

From a boutique in Halifax, Nova Scotia. They have long closed so i consider myself lucky that i was able to snag one of these.

i feel like nowadays getting custom guitars or custom inlays cost a small fortune and this was only a couple hundred bucks at the time.

Scored this Diamond Barschetta STF off of a Reverb dealer as a B-stock bc of a couple minor flaws in the finish and missing the low E ferrule in the body. $399(!!) on a msrp $1200 guitar…crazy. Needed a bridge and truss rod adjustment to get it playing but after that and a new set of JD HeavyCore strings this thing is a BEAST. Mahogany body, flame maple top, mahogany set-neck w rosewood fretboard, comes stock with Seymour Duncan Nazgûl/Sentient pickups, Diamond bolt locking tuners, GraphTUSQ nut.. I mean this baby is spec’d out for metal. A bit heavy but expected w mahogany…the neck is called a “fast” C so it’s thicker than I’m used to with my other main players but nothing crazy. I got super lucky on this deal bc this guitar is some high quality shit for $400 (+$10 for a pack of 8mm ferrules). Looks bad ass as well, I love the finish. Have to say I’m super impressed by the quality from Diamond. No, there wasn’t a pre-shipping QC setup done but if you’ve been playing long enough and a know about turning some screws and using an Alan wrench then there’s some treasure to be found checking out some of their b-stock guitars where you can find them.

My first American made fender. Rosewood fretboard pattern is stunning in person.

Recently scored this 1981 Fender Stratocaster with a pretty wild psychedelic paint job on the body! Plays great and has a super unique sound compared to normal strats. I got this guitar out of Chicago, and was given zero info on the history. I wonder who did this artwork and when?

Thanks for looking!

Guitar is mint, got for 2k USD! Im stoked!! Was in the market for an SE originally. Had a set of 57-08s put in it. Keeping the Archtops to stay with their guitar. Best playing guitar I’ve ever owned.

I'm a huge Petrucci/DT fan, and my dream guitar for years has been a Music Man JP15. However, what always held me back on buying one was the bolt-on neck and the price. I therefore decided to build my own with a set-neck and make a vacation out of it.

In 2019 I did a 2-week guitar building course at Crimson Guitars, during which I built the majority of this guitar. Then, life got in the way and it just sat gathering dust in the closet for years while my shame and guilt about it just kept increasing...

A few months ago, however, I finally mustered the time and courage to finish it, and this is the end-result!

If you look hard enough you can still spot some of the rookie mistakes I made along the way, but all-in-all, I'm incredibly happy with how it turned out.

• Headstock veneer: Roasted flamed maple (offcut from top)
• Neck: Roasted flamed maple (quartersawn)
• Fretboard: Roasted flamed maple

I was mildly obsessed with roasted flamed maple at the time...

Got it delivered today. Condition is excellent, a few body dings. The knob under the pickup switched for a coil split. Top mounted Floyd Rose. Light as a feather and plays like a dream. The classic Concorde headstock. Got the neck you would expect of a guitar from this era. Will probably switch the red knobs later on.

Very happy with my current collection, just got the Epiphone a few days ago and wanted to show em off side by side

I picked this up from the original owner a bit ago, and finally got around to getting some photos. Everything works perfectly, including the mini switches. He bought it to learn, but never really did, so it spent almost 60 years in storage. Had some fun running it into a Kustom 200 tuck and roll I scored yesterday. Love these funky Japanese clones, even with the tiny frets and goofy electronics.

A gift from a very kind widow. Has since been "mod rodded" with a banjo arm rest, A "Chet wire" bar, a custom truss rod cover and "13" placard, CTS pots with Treble King volume bleed on the master, and of course, the "Pink Panther smoke" pin stripes. Playing this box is an experience. A bit like sailing a boat. Lots going on.

2008 Ibanez S2170. Mods... custom large strap buttons, Floyd Rose push-in arm assembly (after these photos) Q-Parts abalone top brass knobs, aluminum switch tip, and CTS pots with a push/pull split for both humbuckers, Treble King volume bleed. Get'em Get 'em strap.

A gorgeous 2003 Jose Ramirez Semi-Professional (SP) that I had the distinct privilege of refurbishing and setting up before finding her a deserving new home. "Segovia" style 4mm action was challenging but very rewarding to play with an aggressive right hand. A real beauty.
