Freak of the Week
This is a new model that's out, but it still captures that special retro something that makes me wanna go surfing, just like many of the guitars crafted in the '60's that have such a wonderful body design.

1967 Hagstrom

Freak of the week.
1967 Hagstrom in Aqua sea-foam Blue, with ultra-swank original tiger stripe lined case. This one truly portrays the groovyness of the hipster era. Where to find one, you may ask? Keep checking those garage sales, Baby!

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. Want to see & hear this fine Ibanez in action around the twin cities? Click HERE & follow the TOUR link at the top.

Dan Electro Custom Tuxedo

Freak of the Week
Custom Dan Electro Dream. I lovingly refer to this fine retro axe as the Flintstone's guitar.

ESP - Similar to the Rhodes Jackson.

Freak of the week.
Alexi Laiho signature ESP. A shredder for sure.

Rare 80's Sarzo Bass - Alas, I pass

Washburn

Freak of the Week
Everyone that knows me quickly learns that I have a love affair with these cool hockey stick headstocks. I probably shouldn't have passed on this one, since this is the only mint condition specimen that I've seen come up on the market in the last 20 years. Who am I fooling? Even as a unplayed stage prop on my show it would now bear numerous cancerous battle scars that would each have their own tale to tell. How noble of me is that? Once again passing on a bass that I love, knowing that the road I have traveled has destroyed so many pristine gems in past; & would only devour another victim too quickly on the stages of the upper midwest night club circuit.

Double cutaway Les Paul with trem circa 1960

Zed

Freak of the Week
Too cool not to post.

Keep searching - You may just get lucky

Freak of the Week
1910 Epiphone Harp guitar

You could go pickin' for a hundred years & never find one of these. This one would really look cool hanging over the mantle.

'65 Gibson Firebird

 

Freak of the Week
Beautiful Retro Bird

Red Owl

Freak of the Week
Red Owl custom paint - Beautious - Thanks, Kii Arens.

WILD THING - Max with Guitar

Where the wild things are. This was a fun two layer photoshop project. Special thanks to Maurice Sendak for the wonderful childhood memories.

Alice in Wonderland.

Freak of the Week
This relic from beyond the looking glass only has two strings, but that's all that you really need. Finally somebody gets it.

Hendrix V

Freak of the Week
1967 Gibson Flying Vee with trem. If you're not envious of this one, don't sweat it. I'm envious enough for both of us.

New Boss Pedal

The only pedal I use anymore. It's all I really need. I could submit a long list of folks who could benefit from one of these, but for now I choose to remain politically correct. We're all legends in our own minds.

Tumblr Link

Is is possible to have this blog automatically forward to Tumblr? Two Brownie points available to the first correct correspondent to this query.

The Beverly Hillbillies Theme

Composed & recorded by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs, 1962. Who doesn't tap their toes when a banjo player starts pickin' out "the ballad of Jed Clampett". Still a great tune 50 years later.

Jackson Dinky DK2 Custom

Freak of the Week
Jackson Dinky DK2 Custom Bengal tiger stripe. George Lynch would be proud. Some A-hole just sniped me on this & stole the bid from me by $5.00. So close, oh well...

Email upload test - Darcel's Jem

Testing to make sure I can upload a pic to this site form my email. Here's an old shot of Darcel Jones with his '89 Ibanez Jem. Darcel was one of my first guitar students that I signed up in Anoka back in 1982. He's put some mileage on this axe over the last 20 years, & he sure can shred. Now he's the master, & I'm just, (well) old. Would love to see him performing out again one day soon.
