1967 Domino Californian (Japanese Vox Phantom copy, probably made by the Matsomuko factory). Great sound!

'Thor', my 1966 Hagstrom I. This little Swedish hammer is lightweight, very thin-necked and sounds best when playing '60s blues-rock.

My late Sixties Univox 'Coily'...this Gibson ES-335 copy darn near plays itself! Everytime I hit an 'A' chord, I get all perplexed because I want to shift into a 'Surf-Rock' song! Playing a G-Em-C-D combos reminiscent of all the doo-wop era stuff can get me into a loop of haunting late '50s memories which can last all night. Rumored to have been owned at one time by a guitarist from the "Cavaliers" (of 'Last Kiss' fame), I am thinking of naming this one 'Christine' after the Stephen King book/ movie's car of the same name.

My slightly modified single P/U '69 Teisco Del Ray ET-110 'Tulip' is a lightweight, easy to play axe which sounds great in an 'open' tuning and using a slide!

This cheap Chinese S-101 Tele-copy actually sounds great and plays really well! It looks good too in a brand new 'Daphne Blue' Paint job!

OK, how about this? It is the prototype for a VERY small run of "Flat Army-Green" 'Anthem' guitars commissioned by the Chesbro music company in Idaho, USA. Early this year, they were forced to stop making these because of a 'brand' copyright issue. So, this one is rare and will get more rare...it plays great and you can see and hear it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rcXapQnHFg

These 'True-Tone' guitars were sod through 'Western Auto' Catalogs in the late 60's. They were made in Japan and were great sounding and well-made guitars. This one's a bit of a project, but I'm giving it to a friend when it's ready....soon.

I bought this one for my 20 year-old step-son to learn on. He likes the 'Metal' look and feel of this BC Rich Warlock. Admittedly, it does sound pretty good when I set up my Crate amp with all kinds of distortion and gain and play "Iron Man" (I sing it as 'Guano Man' )

Here's a few pics of my 'office'. Now...show me yours!
