______ JUST A FEW INTERESTING GUITARS

GUITARS 

...old, new and even a blue

 
1966 STANDEL 101 Custom DeLuxe

STERLING by Music Man $850.00 USD

SQUIER SONIC HT-H
$200.00 USD
Classic Maple neck
Poplar body
(sounds like Alder as per tests by Gibson in the 50s)
perfect mod platform



CUSTOM KRAFT
Red Fury 1962
made by KAY
KAY was #1 in sales
world wide in the 50's

TRENT Model 2
cues from the 50's & 60's
to give us a guitar that is not obscure
yet identifies as original
yet could be made of
quality parts & a fit and finish
equal to the best yet a 10th of the price.

ON GUITARS
This ON guitar brand is not important not in itself as these guitars are handmade European at $3000 ish prices. The thing that there is a cool is trend towards the simplicity of the Tele without being another clone which would be more than a yawn but total deep deep sleep of a surprise. There is nowhere to go with the modern pointy Metal look or another ergonomic atrocity that creates more issues than they solves. Any instrument far away from its root shape always fails. Case in point there are no Flying V violins.



1949 Fender Electric Guitar
pine body in white stain
paddle headstock

In 1950 it had Tele specs but only a
bridge PU & was called the Esquire

EPIPHONE 1963 SG Custom
