The Skull 

** "The Skull" **

What can I say..... this is one of a kind!

This is a Stoneman Guitars, Asbury Park model (The AP-1),
designed for the "Sounds of Asbury Park" or more genneral, good "kick ass" rock and roll!

To that end it's sort of a cross between a Les Paul Jr.,a "tele" and a "strat". The dual humbucking pickups, are switchable to single coil (via a coil tap), for the standard Strat, or "Bruce Tele" sounds.

It's got a "three on a side tuners" for a real solid, ballanced neck
The headstock has the Stoneman decal Logo under the satin lacquer finish on the neck. The neck, by the way, is a very beautiful, figured, VERY RARE, Curly Cherry!

It's got crome dome knobs, and a standard Gibson style three way pickup selector switch, and the tone knob pulls out to switch the pickups to single coil operation. There are 22 standard frets, in this indian rosewood fingerboard.

What can I say about the graaphics? WAY COOL! I asked my graphics artist (Jason at "Artistic Wonders") for a sinister looking Skull, smoking a joint (or home made cigerette). ..... and this is what I got! ..... Way cool! First there is a layer of Silver Pearl paint, then a multi colored blue layer. This looks very three dimentional in person, where the silver-blue background is WAY behind the red-yellow flames and Skull in the fore-ground! ...... the smoke from the joint is coming out of the crack in the back of the Skulls head! TOO COOL! Also see the pic of the back, and note the back view of the teeth and spine.

Because of the light wood used in the body (poplar) and a light (cherry) neck, this is a relatively light guitar. The pickups are WD, but are very close copies of a standard PAF, and a "Super Distortion". .....but because of the special harmonic placement, and the construction, these sound quite unique.

This instrument, and all componants are all brand (factory) new!


This guitar is set up and plays very good!

This guitar is a "theme" guitar and is WAY COOL! Besides being a great playing and sounding guitar ......... this gets attention! This instrument sold for a very reasonable price for this, one of a kind, "work of art".




....Be sure to read the Humidity Page .... This is VERY IMPORTANT infromation for everybody who owns a stringed instrument! It's ESPECIALLY important for Dealers and Manufactures ...
