Members C-4 Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 I don't have a camera, but got this about 3 weeks ago and it is just amazing to play, and the tone is terrific. If you like lightweight guitars but you think they broke easier check this guitar out. The Handle is a guitar designed by Peter Solomon for XOX Audio Tools, an Italian company, that won the Chicago Athenaeum Museum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dmn23 Posted May 28, 2009 Members Share Posted May 28, 2009 Guild Blues 90 (2000) History courtesy of Greg Gagliano. In 2000, Guild took their popular Bluesbird model, fitted it with a Songbird neck and Seymour Duncan P-90 pickups, and called it the Blues 90. Other than the pickups, the only difference between the Blues 90 and Bluesbird is the 90's bigger neck profile (like a late '50s Gibson) and less fancy appointments (dot markers instead of blocks, unbound fingerboard). It retained the Bluesbird body which consisted of routed mahogany with a carved maple cap. The body is essentially semi-hollow with no F-holes. There is a large block of mahogany left under the bridge and stop tailpiece for stability and feedback resistance. The Blues 90 was only made for a two-year period before being discontinued in 2001. Body: Semi-hollow; 1-piece mahogany back and sides with 2-piece carved maple top, single bound top Finish: Transparent Red, polyurethane Neck: 1-piece mahogany, set-in Fingerboard: Indian rosewood; pearloid dot markers Number of Frets: 22 Pickguard: None Bridge: Gotoh Adjusto-matic with stop tailpiece, chrome Nut: Plastic Tuners: Grover Rotomatic, sealed, chrome Pickups: Upgraded from stock Seymour Duncans to Rio Grande P90s. Controls: Tone and volume for each pickup, 3-way pickup selector Scale Length: 24 3/4 inches Neck Width at Nut: 1 11/16 inches Body Width at Lower Bout: 13 inches Body Depth: 2 inches Weight: 8.7 lbs. My Blues 90 is a 2000 model and the stock pickups have been replaced by the previous owner with Rio Grande P90s. The flame is very subtle but it picked up well in some of these photos. It has a fat, round, beefy neck and it's a joy to play. It's not a do-it-all guitar but it's definitely versatile. The P90s and the chambered construction offer a nice growl or a sweet, jazzy clean. it can cover Tele territory pretty well and it does a fair Les Paul imitation.

Members Josh S Posted May 29, 2009 Members Share Posted May 29, 2009 Okay, people have probably seen this pic a few times... But it's a heck of a guitar and reasonably uncommon. Gibson Historic R4 Les Paul Custom. Alnico neck pickup, P90 bridge, bigsby, one-piece mahogany body (no weight relief), mahogany neck, ebony board. Very heavy, but rockin. Sounds like a beefed up tele. Modified with master vol, master tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NeverTheMachine Posted May 29, 2009 Members Share Posted May 29, 2009 Edit: Forgot to post specs .. It's a Fender Amer. Strat Deluxe, HSS. S-1 switching, Samarium Cobalt Noiseless pickups, DH-1 in the bridge, Locking tuners, LSR roller nut, Rosewood fingerboard, Maple neck. I don't think there's anything this guitar can't do. I'll definitely keep this one forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Greg Bogoshian Posted June 5, 2009 Members Share Posted June 5, 2009 Here's my submission for today... It's a RockBeach CB-II solid body prototype. The main body is Kelela left stressed (relic'd) looking with a lacquer finish to give it almost a driftwood look. It is really beautifully marbled stuff. The pickup mounts and control cover are Dalmatian wood. The fingerboard is Kingwood with SS frets and scale length is 25.5". Pickups are GFS NeoVin Fat Strat noiseless and the angles not only position the poles directly under the strings, but give it almost an oboe-like complexity on single note stuff. Switching with the 6-position 2-pole rotary gives you the standard Strat selection plus the neck + bridge combination which almost covers a mid-scooped acoustic quality tone. Very useful. This guitar has quickly risen to the top of my player list as it is VERY light and comfortable and rings like a piano with a huge tone palate available. You may have seen other pics in another thread, but hopefully this thread may elicit actual comments... Here was the sound clip from the previous post... This is just a short clean clip of the 6 positions I have on the rotary switch. Pickups are GFS NeoVin Fat Vintage Noise Cancelling pickup set. Intonation has yet to be set as my tuner is at church. I just set it to a guestimate pre-set... Still playing with pickup spacing. The bridge pickup was much higher in output by itself, so I normalized the track for near equal levels. It was plugged into my V-Amp2 set on "tube preamp custom clean with gain at about 9:00, flat setting, a bit of reverb. Pickups you hear are in the following order: Bridge only; Bridge + Middle; Middle only; Middle + Neck; Neck only; Neck + Bridge. Strings are DR Strings Tite-fit 10-46. http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/CamelBack_II/Kelela_CB-II_Sound_Clip.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
