The custom 1-of-1 Fender Stratocasters, all hand painted by the celebrities were then auctioned at the Hollywood and Beverly Hills Hard Rock Cafe's to benefit HeartStrings; where many sold for over 10k !
The tremolo cover attached to the back of the guitar commemorates the event and this as a 1/1 guitar. Ms Belafonte signed the front portion with the date 2000.

This is a great sounding and playing professional grade instrument, and also very collectible "Art" with huge investment potential !

Studio Rack Case (Formerly Owned by Green Day) - $750 (NE Minneapolis)

Hello, I am selling my empty studio rack that was owned by BillieJoe Armstrong of Green Day. I have a certificate of authenticity as seen in the pictures. This is a huge rack, I honestly am not sure how many units it is, but its perfect for any commercial or home studio who uses analogue gear. The rack case also has 4 fans on the top, one of them rattles so I have it unplugged currently, but its a very simple replacement if you wish to fix this. It does not affect the actual unit itself. The unit has 2 sides that open that are locked, I do not have the key for these two. However, the lock on the glass door also has a different lock on it that I DO have the key for. This is a great deal on a very cool unit with a whole ton of rock n roll history behind it.

Rist Tele - Les Paul Hybrid Workhorse Showhorse - $1400 (Woodbury)

Roman Rist Showhorse Workhorse Max Gibson - Fender hybrid Guitar

Handmade Telecaster - Les Paul hybrid by legendary luthier Roman Rist. Roman Rist was a student of Gil Yaron and a famous LA guitar maker on the 80s and 90s.

Guitar is Tele shaped, but the old-growth mahogany body is radiused and contoured like a Strat body, not slab-style like a Tele- this makes it very comfortable to play.

The chunky maple neck with highly-figured rosewood fretboard is finished in true oil and feels like bare wood sanded perfectly smooth. Features the Rist logo on the front and Roman Rist signature and 2009 date and serial number on the back of the headstock. Gibson 24.75” scale with 12” radius. Has new, Gotoh top-of-the-line SDS510 locking tuning pegs. Pickups are Lollar J-Street Tele bridge and Lollar Mini Humbucker neck. Callaham Tele bridge with lower lip cutout and compensated vintage-style brass saddles.

The guitar is a rock machine and very fun to play with lots of character. It’s professionally set up and plays great. Includes a hardshell case and matching black/burgundy Itallia leather strap with Schaller straplocks.

Please note the guitar has its share of nicks, bumps, swirls, checking, bruises etc… so look over pics carefully for your assessment of its condition. I’ve tried to capture all aspects of the guitar in the pics, but if there are additional pics you’d like to see, or questions you’d like to ask, please do so.

2020 Knaggs Kenai - $5000 (Como Park)

2020 Kenai. I’ve had it a few weeks and it hasn’t yet spoken to me. They’re supposed to be leagues beyond PRS, but in my experience, that is not the case. There’s some “orange peel” texture in parts of the heel finish that I don’t care for; it came from the factory that way (I don’t believe PRS would’ve let a guitar out the door that way). It’s got Seymour Duncan “Candy” pups in it (Eric Steckel’s answer to the 1960 PAF. He told me it was a reverse engineer-based wind and build). I’ve got maybe 90 minutes play time here, probably less. Open to trades, but it’s less than likely. Happy to provide additional pics or videos. If I don’t sell it, I’ll likely ask the builder to amend the finish on it and hold onto it for awhile; maybe I’ll fall in love someday. In the interim, it’ll be posted to CL plus marketplace. If I do sell it, it’ll go to another high end PRS.

Customized Guitar (Dreemsville)

Look at what you can do if your current guitar is not meeting your needs or expections!

This is my custom built Fender Stratocaster, it features a lightly distressed Fender Stratocaster alder body, it has been routed to accept 3 full sized humbucking pickups, fully shielded pickup and control routing, after market Fender neck with large 70's style headstock, 22 frets and a Pao Ferro fretboard, standard Fender tuners, Tele string tree, custom made neck s.s. neck plate, Fender bridge with custom made brass saddles, trem arm, Dunlop strap buttons. BTW the body and neck were made in Ensenada Mexico.

Also features a custom made aluminum pickguard loaded with Dimarzio pickups, a Norton in the bridge, a D Activator in the middle and a PAF Pro in the neck, 3 MTS mini toggles in conjunction with a standard 5 way switch gives you a mind boggling 27 different pickup switching combinations, each pickup has its own on/on/on mini toggle that allows you to switch between humbucking series/ single coil/ humbucking parallel, it also has a concentric CTS volume/tone pot with Orange drop tone cap and treble bleed circuit, Switchcraft momentary push button kill switch and 1/4" output jack.

I put this one together about 3 years ago and have had a lot of fun playing this guitar, the guitar plays great and the pickup switching options truly set this one apart from the rest, this guitar sounds great distorted however you can truly appreciate the versatility, tonal variations and nuances when playing thru a somewhat clean amp.

This guitar is not for sale, it's only meant to inspire guitar geeks, freaks and nerds!

Custom Short Scale Stratocaster Guitar (Naked Oil Finish)

Here I have something incredibly hard to sell. A true labor of love that I’ve spent countless hours and dollars on.

I have become an endorsed artist and no longer able to keep using my totally custom, incredible guitar. It’s been a real battle trying to decide whether or not to keep it. I’ve given it about two years of thought and due to COVID related financial issues, I will sell this one of a kind Instrument.

I will give you ALL the details of this incredible instrument so you know exactly what you’re getting. If you have any questions or concerns email, call, message or whatever you’d like.

Also here is a link to a little pick up test video I made this week. https://youtu.be/1i5znaXG0q0

So I’ll start off by saying this instrument has been put together, wired, and fretwork done by the best Massachusetts has to offer. Jon Mouradian put the guitar together, designed the pickups, and did the wiring. Richard Stanley did the fretwork. You can look these guys up, but Jon does some of the finest work in states, he tours with famous acts as a guitar tech as well. Richard Stanley is a master guitar Luthier and literally worked on Hendrix’s guitars. He’s been around forever and is the most detail oriented person I’ve ever met. He is also the most expensive luthier I’ve ever met...

Jon’s pickups are voiced based on 54’s. Very clear, chimey, and bell like tone. Low output, so they are very clean and like pedals very much. I’ve compared them to fender custom shop 54’s, Lollars, Don Mares, and others and they stand up to/arguably beat out many of them. Of course pick ups are completely subjective, but the quality is there.

The wiring is custom, but a somewhat common layout. Rather than volume, tone, tone. The third tone knob is a blend knob. Allowing you to blend in the neck and bridge together on the front and back positions, and to turn on all three pickups In the 2 and 4 positions. So essentially you have all possible pick up combinations and the ability to blend them to one side or the other more or less to taste.

All hardware is high quality Gotoh. The body is a Warmoth. A beautiful flamed maple top on an Alder Body with a nice black binding. It is rubbed with Tung Oil to protect the wood and give it a little shine yet retaining the smooth feel and “Naked Blonde” Look as I call it. The pick guard/knobs/hardware are aged slightly. I think it looks sexy but not too beat up.

The Neck is a Warmoth and the Specs are listed below. Richard Stanley did all the fretwork, cut the nut, and aligned the bridge on the body for perfect Intonation. The short scale makes playing this thing a breeze and the naked finish on the back is soft and wonderful feeling. No stickiness at all. You could add oil to the neck if you wanted to shine/darken it to bring out the flame even more but the natural oils from your hands will do the work for you overtime.

Specs:

Style: Warhead
Construction: Gibson® Scale (24-3/4") Conversion
Orientation: Right Handed
Neck Wood: Roasted Flame Maple
Fingerboard Wood: Roasted Flame Maple
Nut Width: 1-11/16"
Back Shape: 59 roundback
Fret Size: 6150
Tuner Ream: Vintage Style (11/32")
Radius: Straight 10"
Scale: 24-3/4" Conversion
Fret #: 22
Mounting Holes: Standard 4 Bolt
GraphTech White TUSQ XL - Standard Nut
Inlays: No Inlay
Side Dots: Black Side Dots
Finish: No Finish

I will ship it in a MONO (that’s right) gig bag. Which costs about 250 new, so you have something to carry this around in to match the guitar. I want to stick to this price initially please no low ball offers. All the work and parts that went into this guitar cost an embarrassingly large amount.

'89 Squier II Pearly-White Korean Case Queen - $300 (Plymouth, MN)

https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/msg/d/minneapolis-89-squier-ii-pearly-white/7603452824.html

Hold your breath, here she is. 1989 Squier II Made in Korea stratocaster. This beauty has slept her entire life in the peaceful confines of a velvety pitch black hard case.

There is no wear on this thing, my friend: no fret wear, no neck pocket finish cracks, no blemish anywhere. She is complete, and original.

After that slumber, however, she deserved some attention. I took this one apart, cleaned up the fret end sprout and polished the frets, F-One oiled the board, flushed out the electronic components, straightened out the neck (just a very small touch of forward bow - 4mm truss rod wrench, turns freely) restrung with D'Addario 9-42 gauge strings, and lovingly finished with a spray and wipe of Meguiar's auto detailer. Then plugged in and played Zeppelin's Since I've Been Loving You and cried a little in joy.

The pickups all read 8.5 KOhms resistance, which is a touch hotter than most strat single coils, which is nice. The action is set to a straight 2.0mm across the board, with plenty of adjustment at both the bridge and the truss rod to tweak to your taste.

Includes hard case in Excellent condition and with keys, whammy bar, and a tuner.

Cash only (Straight cash, Homie!)
No trades
No shipping
Want more pics? More info? Wanna haggle? Chat me up.

Peace:

2006 PRS Private Stock Custom 24 10th Anniversary Tiger Eye Burst Brazilian Rosewood - $16,000

PRICE REDUCED from $18,000

RARE PRS COLLECTIBLE

This PRS Private Stock Custom 24 is a superbly special model, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Private Stock program. It's one of the most rare and luxurious PRS guitars ever made! Finished in Amber Tiger Eye, this Custom 24 boasts a super high grade South American mahogany back and a quilted maple top with some serious inlay - crafted from materials such as black and brown lip mother of pearl, white and gold mother of pearl, paua, abalone, green snail, orange Madre per Lato, red coral, koa, and even 14k gold! The body, fingerboard, and headstock are also bound with green snail and black/white ivoroid. Pickups are the PRS 9 humbuckers, and the fingerboard and headstock veneer are made from Brazilian rosewood. The curly maple neck is also jaw dropping as well. Top it off with an anodized gold stoptail, gold locking tuners with rosewood buttons, and Brazilian rosewood pickup rings, and you have the ultimate PRS! This guitar is in excellent condition and includes the original hardshell case.

the thing being absolutely hideous is the predictable punchline

Yeah, green snail is a new one for me too. Apparently refers to this:

Basically just another type of mother-of-pearl.

And insofar as its hideousness, I will have you know, sir, that my long-dead grandmother would have loved this thing.

NORDSTRAND NJ4 4 STRING VINTAGE JAZZ BASS PICKUPS - $80 (Minnetonka)

These were previously installed but weren’t to my taste.
$180 retail, yours for $80 cash.

This is a vintage style single coil pickup made with 60s era correct Heavy Formvar wire, alnico V magnets, and wound with a programmable CNC winder that simulates a vintage hand wound pattern. The combination of the HF wire in correspondence with the simulated hand wind produces the pickup's lowered resonant peak, which is the source of the hypnotizing ambrosia that is the NJ4's divine high end. Between its high and low end frequencies, this pickup produces a full-bodied sound that replicates the drive synonymous with 60s vintage tone.

Simulated hand wind, is that like a VR handjob?

haha i have no idea other than the happy ending is a hypnotizing ambrosia

someday science will know how to perfectly wrap a metal wire around a small cylindrical magnet. Until then, we'll have all this hypnotizing ambrosia.

Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that "hypnotizing ambrosia" equals "farty thuds"?

chr1sb3singer, Tuesday, 1 August 2023 20:21 (eight months ago) link

that should be immediate 75% discount

earosmith (Neanderthal), Friday, 11 August 2023 20:44 (eight months ago) link

Does that say "Jerry Pate, like his chest"? What does that mean?
