1983? DAION 555 Headhunter Honeyburst (SOLD)
Posted on March 16th, 2009 2 commentsA cool rare one, Daion’s were made in the Hatsumoku factory and represent the very best Japan offered in the 80’s [ the best period]. Three cutaway body is well balanced. Beautiful honeyburst finish over the highly flamed tiger maple is to die for. Strong humbuckers, low action. The diamondstrings Pro-Shop recently dressed the frets to feel and play like new. A previous owner had a custom matching brass pickguard made for it . This can now be an option as Diamond strings has filled the small screwholes and touched them up to match the body color. They are almost invisible [pickguard is included in the hardshell case]. These have been climbing in price steadily for a while now; see why! Excellent condition with new hardcase. $1250.

2002 Dearmond S-73 XII Greenburst
Posted on March 13th, 2009 2 commentsYikes, what a cool XII. Solid body with set neck. 1/78th nut. In like new condition. and in Greenburst! Plays like a dream with very low action; sounds clean and full like a great XII should. Why were these great Dearmonds discontinued.? Perhaps they were just too good for the money. Folks have found out that the newer ones fender has been offering lately ain’t great. . Try it and you’ll see what we mean. W/GB $675

Ventures Mosrite Seafoam
Posted on March 12th, 2009 No commentsOne of the very last of the Reissue Japanese Mosrites. This one HAS the VENTURES logo, none of the current ones on the market do and from what I have gathered there won’t be any more with the logo. White pickguard ,and white pickups, white surrounds, awesome seafoam finish. I have owned and played many originals ones and have not played or heard one any better then this. Just awesome!! In virtually unplayed condition. w/HC $2,350

1968 Guild ST-305 [studio 402 prototype] or custom order] impossibly rare!!!!!
Posted on March 12th, 2009 No commentsA hollow body ‘barney kessel’ design, thickness is somewhere between a thinline and a full body. The studio series was made in 301, 302 and 303 models only. A factory St-305 special label is in this one. All major Guild authorites agree it is most likly a prototype of the Guild St-402 which also sports a thicker body than the others. Very nice sunburst with some checking on the back . Two guild mini-humbuckers and a very impressive ambient sound..W/ Bigsby, or without , original Guild tail in the case. a Guild collectors dream guitar. HC, $2795
