New Guitars Finished And For Sale & Book Three Of Princess Haylee's Adventures Coming Along

 New Guitars Finished And For Sale & Book Three Of Princess Haylee's Adventures Coming Along

Admittedly, my recent guitar-building activities have cut into my writing... just not enough time in the day. However, I am making progress, albeit however slowly, on Planet Alt-Sete-Nine Book Three: War Of The Wizards. My publisher doesn't like holiday releases, so it looks like we are shooting for a release date sometime in the first quarter of 2022. Hang in there and stay healthy!

In the meantime, I've had requests for more posts on the guitars I build and sell. Here are the four currently available and the links to their page on reverb.com. You can check them out more closely there, or you can contact me right here for more info, offers, and questions about having one built for you. By the way, I am working on a very special project I hope to have finished in time for Halloween. You'll want to see this one, so stay tuned!


Nikki is a new Fender Stratocaster I tinkered together with both rock and jazz players in mind. She is stunning with all gold hardware. She sounds and plays as cool as she looks with Seymour Duncan pickups, a custom-tailored set of D'Addario strings, and tight action. As with all of my Custom Scorpion Guitars, she can be set up to the buyer's specs, and comes complete with a hardshell case, strap, cable, picks, and an extra set of strings. Check her out here: https://reverb.com/item/42339722-custom-built-stratocaster-strat-new-and-ready-to-jam


I consider Rene to be the Les Paul that Epiphone should have built. Brand new, mods include an upgraded 3-way switch, a Pure Tone multi-contact jack, and a pair of sweet-sounding humbuckers, each capable of individual coil-splitting via very cool push-push volume and tone controls. The icing on this sweet-sounding cake is Les Paul-style keystone tuners and a custom pickguard.

Looking for a cool vintage acoustic? Phoenix is a rare Madeira built by Guild in 1974. You don't see too many of these dreadnaughts, especially in Tiger (Flame) Maple. Cleaned, polished, and set up with Martin strings, she is ready for her next 50 years of action. Phoenix has the smooth, booming, clarity of sound that only comes with age. Complete with a heavy-duty gig bag, strap, picks, and extra strings, she is priced well below her contemporaries.

Saving the best for last? Perhaps. How about a brand new, knock-out Fender Telecaster Thinline with all the goodies? Cherry is so named for her stunning cherry red metallic finish with white binding and chrome hardware. Pictures truly do not do her justice (check out the closeup photos) Her body is flawless, any mars or imperfections being a result of the lighting and photography.












Cherry features a Fender American Performer Double Tap Humbucker neck pickup that can be switched into single-coil mode, and a Fender Yosemite Single Coil pickup at the bridge for all the brilliant, twangy highs that mark classic Telecasters. The tone control has been specially set up including a treble bleed circuit. Other features include locking Fender tuners, Pure Tone multi-contact output jack, and a Fender Modern Six Saddle Bridge.
