White Elephant

This beautiful hollow-body Teleblaster is proudly shown off by regional entertainer Chad Higgins. The beautiful ivory white finish is contrasted by a glitzty gold hardware package, including gold Floyd Rose trem system & matching locking nut. You can get a good look at this rare hollow body electric guitar when you catch a show featuring the popular Minneapolis group POP ROCKS. The guitar is a class act by itself, & so is their show. Here's a link featuring their upcoming show dates.

Twisted Sister

I was lucky enough to have Gloria Gunnick of White Bear Lake think of me yesterday when it was finally time to sell her '81 Guild X-80 with factory mounted Kahler trem. She's taken good care of this, & it's still in amazing condition after 30 years here in the cities. She's rocked with several acts over the years, including the Glo Girls & Phat Pearl, so you might remember her from some of the classic rock party rooms of the era, like Muldoons, Monte's, or the old Iron Horse. Here's some classic footage of her in action I found on YouTube. Thanks for years of great entertainment, Glo. Can't wait to see what's next.
...Tonight: McKracken's in Burnsville.

I'm going to Jackson

1985 JACKSON Custom Soloist. I found this fairly rare smooth playing axe to be in amazing original condition. Owned, gigged & cared for by John Richardson, currently performing with MONARCH around the northern suburbs. He's been with this show for 15 years, so he delivers a real smooth performance. I caught their show this past Sunday filling in for IOB. John is also known for his past work with CROW & DICK TRACEY. You can catch John's next show:
September 16&17 - CHAMPLIN LEGION - Champlin, MN
September 24 ZIMMERMAN LEGION Zimmerman, MN
December 30&31 - CHAMPLIN LEGION - Champlin, MN

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.
