This is one amazing amp!  It's hand built and sounds incredible.  I play both single coils & 'buckers through it, and I absolutely love it!

This one is available from The Music Zoo.

This Youtube is with the seperate head & cabinet, but you'll get the idea.  Enjoy!!

The curley Mahogany is absolutely GORGEOUS, and the playability and tone is fantastic.  This is easily the most comfortable acoustic I've ever played.  I'll have sound clips up in the near future.

Thanks Craig, I appreciate your expertese and help!!

Tone King Galaxy Amp

From The Music Zoo, here's my favorite amplifier of all times!  The Tone King Galaxy!
http://www.themusiczoo.com/product/12098/Tone-King-Galaxy-Head-Amplifier-Turquoise/
http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/themusiczoo.html

I am intimately familiar with this amp, as I play one every day!  Amazing tones, great vintage sounding vibe.  I used Tone King's Iron Man attenuater with it, as this amp is LOUD!

The speaker cabinet is also great, looks like a fifties/sixties era Television!  Also available from The Music Zoo http://www.themusiczoo.com/product/12097/Tone-King-Galaxy-2x12quot-Speaker-Cabinet-Turquoise/.


Here's a Premier Guitar video of Mark Bartel, builder of Tone King Amps playing one with a B3 guitar...

Fender® Custom Shop '51 Nocaster Reissue

Taylor GC5

The GC 5 has always been one of my favorite small bodied acoustics.  The Mahogany back & sides, and the Cedar top just work so well together witht the short scale.

This one comes from Piccolo's Music in Montana:
http://piccolosmusic.com/store/product/10981/Taylor-GC5-Acoustic-Guitar/

Wow!  Check this out from Custom Shop Guitars:
http://www.customshopguitars.com/custom_shop_guitar_003.htm
http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/customshopguitar.html

I love P-90's, and I REALLY love those Dog Ears!  Collings makes such fine instruments.  I never heard one of these in person, but I casn only imagine it sounds at least as good as it looks!

I can't seem to find a video of this guitar being played... so if you have one, and would like to share, I'd love to see & hear it!

Chambered acrylic body with anodized aluminum tone plates...  Hmmm.
Maple neck, 24.75" scale.  Lollar Omni-Tron pickups.



Here's a small clip from NAMM 2012:

I may just have to take a trip to Roslyn, NY to see this one in person.

Tom Anderson Bulldog

Here's another great Tom Anderson guitar- the Bulldog.  This one is from West Chester Music:
http://www.westchestermusicstore.com/product_p/tagw-bulldog.htm
http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/westchestermusic.html

Theses guitars have a bolt on neck, rather than a set neck, but it's attached in a unique way.  You've got to experience it.  The pickups are counter-sunk, and that puts your picking hand at a comfortable angle.

I had one of these for a while, and they have flawless workmanship, and terrific tone.

Watch this video:

Tom Anderson Hollow T Classic

Great Tom Anderson from Wildwood guitars:

Great finish.  Anderson calls it "Sheer Gold", although it looks like natural to me.  The body is Swamp Ash, for that great biting tone.  It also has the Anderson VA booster, for enhanced tone variety.

PRS McCarty Korina Soapbar with Brazilian Fretboard

This is the one that I regret selling!  Well, not this specific guitar, but I had a PRS McCarty Korina Soapbar, in the same color, that I loved!  I sold it on a whim, and when I saw this at Guitar Hangar, my heart went pitter-patter!

These sound great!  The combo of the P-90'S and the Korina is magic.  Check this out at Guitar Hangar:

Martin M-36

Martin M-36 wth pickups, from Willie's American Guitars

http://www.williesguitars.com/index.cfm/martin_acoustics/4/inventory/19

http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/williesamerican.html

The M (0000) size is a great balance between the Dreadnoght and the 000 size.  Good volume and projection, good for strumming and fingerstyle.

I'm not crazy about 3 piece backs, but this one looks pretty good.  25.4 inch scale, Rosewood back and sides, and Sitka Spruce top.

Here's a demo from Youtube:

PRS Custom 22 LEFTY Limited Edition

Only 125 of these are available in the US.  Willcutt Guitars has one:

http://willcuttguitars.com/paul-reed-smith/prs-lefties/prs-custom-22-lefty-smoked-cherry-burst-10-top

http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/willcuttguitars.html

10 Top, 59/09 pickups (if you've never heard these, you're really missing out-- they are amazing!), coil tap, Tremolo Bridge.

Here's a sample of the 59/09 pickups, though I'm not sure it's on the same model PRS.  Looks that way, though.
You'll at least get an idea of what the pickups sound like.

PRS STUDIO QUILT 10 TOP

Available at A Sharp Music Co. http://www.asharpmusicco.com/electrics/prs/studio/blackslate/blackslate.html

http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/asharpmusicco.html

Gotta love those quilted maple tops!  This one has the "Pattern Thin" neck, which I find the most comfortable neck I ever played.

It also has 57/08 pickups:  a full humbucker in the bridge, and the neck and middle are the narrowfield.  Of all the PRS pickups, I think these sound the best, although the 59/09's are a close second.


Here's a www.premierguitar.com video review, although the guitar he's reviewing has a wrap around tailpiece, instead of the PRS Tremolo on A Sharp's music's guitar.

Suhr Guthrie Govan Modern Set Neck from Tone Merchants

http://www.tonemerchants.com/products/guitars/suhr/suhr-guthrie-govan-modern-set-neck/

http://www.guitardealersuniverse.com/Dealers/tonemerchants.html

Another beautiful mahogany, this has splittable H-S-H pickups, with a 16" neck radiius.

If you buy this guitar, you'll instantly play like Guthrie Govan! (Well, not really!!)

Looks great. I like the fact that the wiring is routed in the back, so there's no pick guard.  Looks like a real "players" guit.

Here's a video of guthrie at Tone Merchants at NAMM 2010

Gibson's new Les Paul Traditional All Mahogany

http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Traditional-Mahogany-Satin.aspx

Two piece mahogany top, and weight releived mahogany body.  It has a '57 classic in the neck (my favorite of Gibson's pups), and a higher output '57 plus in the bridge.

The neck isn't the 50's baseball bat, but the 60's slimmer neck, with a 12 inch radius.

Can't wait to try one of these, I love all hog gitys.

This is GORGEOUS!
New for 2012, this PRS has a piezo pickup, in a solid body!

Collings Limited Edition Pete Huttlinger OM-1

I just saw this on Hill Country's Guitar's website, and it looks amazing!  http://www.hillcountryguitars.com/

Mahogany back & sides, with either a Stka or Adirondack Spruce top, and pre-war scalloped bracing, this baby must sing!

An ebony fingerboard, bone nut & saddle, and nickel waverly tuners round out this great Collings guitar.  I understand that Pete Huttlinger has some serious health issues, and that Collings is donating money from each of these guitars sold.

http://www.collingsguitars.com/Instruments/?ID=72

Thanks also to Collings for these pictures.

I have yet to hear one of these played, so if anyone has a clip they want to send, I'd greatly appreciate it!  Send it to:  thegalacticguitarist@gmail.com

PRS Studio

Look at this gorgeous PRS Studio from A Sharp Music Co.   This one has a beautiful quilted top.  I think PRS nailed it with this guitar - great sounds!

http://www.asharpmusicco.com/electrics/prs/studio/blackslate/blackslate.html

The 5 way switch and tappable bridge humbucker makes this very versitile.  Here's a nice clip of one in action:

I'm not sure what amp he's playing through, but the tone is really very nice.  I've tried the narrowfield pickups, and I always felt they sounding very close to lower output regular humbuckers, but in this clip, they are sweet!

N Stuff Music made this longer clip.  I wasn't really crazy about the tapped bridge sound.  I don't think the guy was either, it seemed like he rushed through it.

OK, here are the PRS Studio specs:

Mahogany body, maple top

Neck: Pattern thin mahogany, with a rosewood fingerboard

Medium large frets

V-12 finsh

5 way (think Strat) switch, with coil tap for the bridge 'bucker

PRS tremolo bridge

Pase III locking tuners (open back, really nice!)
