EBMM Steve Morse Y2D Hardtail Purple Sunset, 2015

On October 9, 2019 /

Based on the Steve Morse Signature model, the EBMM Steve Morse Y2D features a bookmatched, quilted Maple cap on a Poplar body, paired with an Indian Rosewood-fingerboard Maple neck. The headstock is the characteristic Music Man 4+2 compact design that helps improve balance. The neck carries a compensated nut that does help bring intonation into greater focus, and has a gloss finish on the headstock itself. The length of the neck uses a waxed, gunstock oil finish.

Fender Closet Classic Telecaster Pro Black, 2017

On October 8, 2019 /

The Closet Classic Telecaster Pro follows the original Telecaster specifications, but not slavishly. The body is lightweight Ash, the neck is quartersawn Maple, as in the originals. But there are a number of improvements here, including having the truss rod adjuster at the headstock, a new bridge design with a split center saddle allowing better intonation, a 22 fret neck with large ‘6105’ fret wire and Twisted Tele pickups.

Based largely on 1965 specifications, the Fender Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster combines a classic offset Alder body with a Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard sporting binding and block inlays. The gloss polyester finish is an interesting metallic Oxblood tone, and that’s applied to the front of the headstock as well.

Fender Squier JV 1957 Stratocaster Black, 1982

On September 30, 2019 /

Here we haVe a Fender Squier JV 1957 Stratocaster reissue, built during 1982 for Fender Japan by Fuji-Gen Gakki. By the end of the 1970’s Fender, under CBS management, was struggling. Import copies were getting better all the time, which was made very clear to Fender executives touring Japanese factories with a view to doing some production there. At this time, Fender also hired three executives from Yamaha.

Ernie Ball Music Man Silhouette Special SSS Vintage Burst, 2003

On September 4, 2019 /

Introduced in 1995, the Ernie Ball Music Man Silhouette Special is based closely on the Silhouette, but adds the very useful Silent Circuit, rendering standard single coils noiseless. The Silhouette Special features an Alder body with a gloss Vintage Sunburst finish that also appears on the headstock front. The neck has a 10 inch radius and Gun Oil finish on its length; the headstock itself has a gloss finish, matching sunburst on the front and clear on the sides and back of the head.

Fender Custom Shop 1951 Telecaster Relic Blonde, 2016

On August 12, 2019 /

The Fender Custom Shop 1951 Telecaster Relic features a light-weight Ash body, and a full-U profile, one piece Maple neck. This neck design was one of Leo Fender’s breakthroughs. The finish reproduces the original nitrocellulose lacquer ‘blonde’, but with significant wear. Tuners are Kluson Deluxe style with metal buttons, as Fender continued to use for decades. The bridge offers three Brass saddles, and has the Patent Pending stamp, as many early 1950’s models did (until Fender ran out and had to re-order).
