- Mahogany Fender Toronado
guitarz.blogspot.com With its natural finish on mahogany and minimal gear, this mid-2000s Fender Toronado makes me think of these stern but desirable Japanese guitars from the 1980s that arrived after the copy era, and made the sound of early...
- Fender Custom Shop Gold Over Paisley Heavy Relic Stratocaster
guitarz.blogspot.com I've always been clear about the fact that I don't like strats and that I loathe so-called relic finishes. Once in a while though, it's good to have one's certainties shaken, and I really enjoy this Fender Custom Shop...
- Refinished Musima Eterna
guitarz.blogspot.com This is not the first time we see a Musima Eterna on Guitarz since I even presented my own here a few years ago, but this version roughly refinished in blue (usually Musima models are black and Migmas are perloid red) with...
- Porl Thompson's One-off 8-string Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com You might have heard that The Cure's former guitarist Porl Thompson currently auctions some of his instruments - including this strange 8-string hybrid bass/guitar. I cannot figure out what is the device under the strings...

1950 Gibson ES-295 12-String refinished in glitter gold
guitarz.blogspot.com
This is not the first time we show on Guitarz a vintage guitar refinished in heavy glitter by US company Marty Bell - remember the moon silver Jaguar?
This venerable 12-string ES-295 by Gibson Custom Shop got a new youth (as a Las Vegas strip dancer it seems) with enough shiny gold to please the wife of a Serbian warlord back in the days.

The ES-295 - roughly a ES-175 with P90S and a flowery scratchplate - was the favorite model of Scotty More, the guitarist of Elvis Presley - that would explain its tasteful new look. I love it!
