God Save the Queen

Beautiful 2008 Red Special from Brian May Guitars (very similar to the original Burns) as used by Steve Pritchard of Rogers, MN in the great Queen tribute "Crown Jewels". Steve picked up this axe specifically for this cool show which I attended at the Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis on June 14th 2011. The band is now on temporary hiatus while searching for a new keyboardist for this project. Steve is also currently working with the Audio Marauders this fall. Click HERE to check their twin cities schedule. Maybe you'll get lucky, as Stevie just might be be swinging this axe for a few tunes.

Update: Just caught Mark from the Whatnots playing this same fine axe in the event center at St. Croix casino on 11/11/2011.

Chop - Chop

This pic is from last August at jackpot Junction in Morton, but I'm doing another show with this guy tonight at Stifftungfest in Norwood/ Young America. Bobby Jensen is seen here with his Cort GS-Axe-2 Gene Simmons limited edition Signature KISS bass. He says "it's the coolest bass you'll never hear". Very cool bass recreation. Bobby is one of the greatest Minnesota entertainers that I've met. Click here for a Link to the official site of his band Hairball.

Jackson Custom Shop King V Diuble Neck

Freak of the Week
Stand clear & make room. This one of a kind Jackson double-neck is from their USA custom shop. Note the blue-to-blackburst on a quilted maple top & the extra 12 string tuners on the tail of the top side. Here's a prime candidate to get a chip in the tail fins, so you & mates would really have to be careful on stage. A fine machine like this can be ordered in from eBay UK, but they're asking around $7500 (with free shipping). Be the first kid on your block to have one. What a pretty color. The Duncan zebra pick ups & shark fin mother of pearl inlays finish this machine off nicely.

Check-Mate

Here's one of my axe's that I try to use regularly on the mid-west tour shows. It's got a Cheap Trick meets KISS sort of look to it, & it features gold plated hardware. Everyone says that it looks & sounds like a million bucks. This rare bass guitar has turned out to be a great investment, & it truly has the makings of a real nice working show piece.
