HERES SOME OF MY GUITARS


This is my favorite guitar of all time,
"HAMER STANDARD",wish I still had it.
Mine was a custom lefty
My current guitar is a homemade thing.Kind of a Frankenstein.It started out as an Ibanez strat.I have since replaced all the parts except the body and the bridge with CARVIN parts.
   This is my handy work.Kind of a beta project.I designed the wiring for this because I couldn't find any that did what I wanted it to.
  To look at the layout of the switches and knobs, this would look like a normal CARVIN wiring job.But CARVIN uses single throw switches for their pickups, basic on/off.I am using double throw switches,with center being off, donwn is dual coil and up is single coil. With the CARVIN lay out you have to pay extra for this option and then have 2 more switches installed on the guitar.Not a good option for me.With this layout I can achieve all the pickup options that are possible.
If I ever get a better body to build, I'll also install push/pull switches for the volume knobs,where one will be Phase and the other Series/Parallel.I also have planned a multi- selector for the tone control.



Those were my latest guitars,but through the years I had aquired and played a lot of different instruments.More on those later.

AMPS
This was the lastest amp that I played through, not the exact model.But the same company.Mine had an oak cabinet and 9 channels!! GREAT Tone,and we all know that Tone is everything!A friend of mine purchased the amp in L.A. from Elliot Easton, guitarist for the CARS.
I had a 12" speaker in it but never used it. I played through a custom 4X12" cabinet.
