Yamaha SA-15
guitarz.blogspot.com There is not so much information out there about the Yamaha SA-15 - like the SGV it was released in the late 60s but it was never reissued. I don't know it for a long time, but it was not a surprise to discover it, it's the good combination of Yamaha 's ...

1960s Vox Harlem with factory scalloped fingerboard
guitarz.blogspot.com : This Vox Harlem is a model I've not seen before. The seller refers to it as being a "vintage Italian guitar", so that makes it one of the Eko-built Voxes. The seller also claims that the treble-side scalloping of the fingerboard is original from the factory, and has ...

Michael Jackson commerative guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com : The Michael Jackson money-making machine continues to roll on after his death (if anything, it's gone into overdrive) and, no doubt, will continue to do so for many years to come. Even guitar builders are getting in on the act now it seems, witness this guitar being ...

Hand-made guitar, influenced by Les Paul
guitarz.blogspot.com : The auction for this homemade electric guitar is finishing on eBay very soon. I love stuff like this; it's a case of a guy wants an electric guitar so badly but the only way he's going to get one is to build it himself. Luckily he gets some sound advice from a legend! ...

Ergonomic Guitar Iberica 1C
guitarz.blogspot.com It's not necessary to say much, the picture of this Ergonomic Guitar Iberica 1C tells the obvious: you take the most regular classical guitar and bevel it a little bit where it's necessary and you have a much more conformable instrument. Not only electric ...

1975 Gibson S-1
guitarz.blogspot.com : Didn't think I'd ever be surprised by a Gibson Les Paul - until I discovered the S-1 ! Love the Flying V headstock, and the pickguard shape simulating a SG on top of the Les Paul body is brilliant... Together with the Marauder , it was an attempt of Gibson to attack ...

Egypt Karnak Luxor from 1986
guitarz.blogspot.com : This guitar does have a very 80s vibe to it - perhaps it's the metallic lilac finish. It wouldn't have looked out of place in any of the hair metal bands of that era. Oddly, it doesn't have a locking trem - just a regular one, but if you're like me that will be ...

Can anybody identify this guitar?
guitarz.blogspot.com I found this guitar on a German-Swiss site and might be called a Dulci but I can't find anything more about it... I'm not even sure if it's really a guitar - is it a travel acoustic one, a 6-string ergonomic ukulele or some hybrid I've never heard of until now? So ...

double-neck 12/4 Shergold Modulator
guitarz.blogspot.com This is the double-neck Shergold Modulator inspired by Mike Rutherford 's custom model. Of course it doesn't have its characteristic splitting/recombining system (if I understand well, Rutherford claimed Shergold 's exclusivity for this innovation, and I don't ...

70s Shergold Modulator 3
guitarz.blogspot.com This is a Shergold Modulator 3 - that I first noticed because of its square knob plate, the kind of things that I love in a guitar (the general shape is not so exciting)! Then I deepened a little bit the subject and I discovered that the square knob plate actually ...

Pointless triple-neck
Pointless triple-neck
guitarz.blogspot.com — guitarz.blogspot.com : Uh-oh! You know you're in for trouble when you see a Tennessee-brand guitar. They are often very wacky instruments, but don't be fooled as the workmanship is shoddy and the instruments themselves are often unplayable. But ... (more) Pointless triple-neck
Franquin's Gaffophone
guitarz.blogspot.co m OK, GL Wilson stunned me with his Omstrument and there would be no possible answer to this extreme instrument if genius Belgian comics artist Franquin didn't invent the infamous Gaffophone . Franquin 's prominent character Gaston Lagaffe (seen here ...

"Carol Brown" - Flight Of The Conchords
guitarz.blogspot.com : This week I've been listening to "I Told You I Was Freaky", the new Flight Of The Conchords album featuring songs from Season 2 of their TV show. I wanted to include the above clip on this blog because I just love those guitars they are playing. Yes, we know they ...

The Omstrument
guitarz.blogspot.com : In our previous post about Uli Jon Roth's Sky Guitar, Bertram, my co-blogger here at Guitarz , made a note in the comments appealing for "Less frets, more strings!" Is this enough strings for you, Bertram? With a combined total of 46 strings, the Omstrument is the ...

Uli Jon Roth's Sky Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com : Thanks to KC for jogging my memory. The guitar that the Gruggett Raindrop reminded me of was Uli Jon Roth 's Sky Guitar, as seen pictured here. To unashamedly quote from his Wikipedia entry : Uli Jon Roth has (or at least has had) at least five of these "Sky" ...

Highly optimistic French eBayer
guitarz.blogspot.com : Someone has applied a very poor imitation Fender logo to this cheap and nasty vaguely-Telecaster-styled guitar from the 1970s. These appeared under various brandnames; it's probably one of Teisco's poorer efforts. So, how much do you think the seller is asking for ...

Gruggett Raindrop guitar from 1966
guitarz.blogspot.com : This Gruggett Raindrop was apparently one of only six such guitars and was built in 1966 for a band called - appropriately enough - The Raindrops. Bill Gruggett , the maker of this guitar, also built guitars for Mosrite and Hallmark Guitars back in the day, and is ...
