Simply put, I need cash for tuition, a new laptop, and art supplies... and I need it within a week-and-a-half.
Why I ever thought it would be a good idea to go back to college on a working musician's income is beyond me!
These are some of my favorite custom builds. I've been sitting on them forever, and I hardly ever play them. Its just time to let them go.
Make me an offer.
MANelectro. Late 50's Danelectro U1, gutted (before I got it), covered with "western brown" tolex, white vinyl binding studded with upholstery tacks. Late 90's "Yesteryear" Aged Alnico pickup. Period-correct electronics (CTS w/Molded cap). Custom translucent faux-tortoise PG (included but not yet attached).
Late 50's Kay Speed Demon. Gold hardware. Artec P90s. Custom wiring w/ rotary selector (N-NM-M-MB-B). No adjustable trussrod, but neck is straight and beefy as all holy hell.
"Kalamo" Early 60's Kay Speed Demon body w/ original electronics, same era Alamo Titan neck, Eastwood Hi-Flyer pickup. Custom bone nut and rosewood bridge. Supro/Valco Tail. MEAN ASS BASS.
Gutbucket Hank. Early 60's Silvertone/Harmony H609 Parlor-size acoustic with a late 40's/Early 50's Gibson P-13 pickup. This pickup and ring combination was originally found on the top-of-the-line Harmony archtops in the early/mid 50's. Someone must have just slapped it on in there. Signal was intermittent, so I had it rewound by Lindy Fralin. Sounds absolutely amazing. Original bridge was a broken "pin-less" piece. Broke off the remainder of the broken area and installed a Dobro-style tail. Frets filed and dressed. Solid player.
1998 (First-Year) Danelectro U2 Deluxe. They didn't make these (Seafoam with the matching neck, that is) for very long. Original Korean run. Yesteryear (upgraded) pickups.
Late 50's Harmony Reso-Tone Tenor banjo. Still in great shape despite discoloration on the skin. Still has the original hang-tag and chipboard case. Bakelite resonator.
