- Custom Shop Guild M-75 Bluesbird
guitarz.blogspot.com: Guild's M-75 model was released as the Aristocrat in 1952 - the same year than Gibson's Les Paul - and has a hollow body despite its lack of sound holes. It's been discontinued and re-issued over the last decades...
- Custom 77 Roxy - A New Classic?
guitarz.blogspot.com I know that I probably spend much too much time ranting here about how unimaginative guitar making became in the last decades, so let's cut the crap and rejoice over creative luthiers and small companies that can...
- Courtney Love's Signature Squier Vista Venus
guitarz.blogspot.comI'm happy to have found a decent picture of a Squier Venus, for I wanted to show one for a while now. Though it's not overwhelmingly creative or new, it's still one of the last few efforts of Fender to produce a new design...
- 1965 Standel Custom Deluxe
guitarz.blogspot.comAfter last week's Mosrite, here is another apple candy red wonder, another guitar that has been seen on Guitarz already but deserves to be adored by our new followers (with a better picture), and another offspring of Mister Moseley...
- Custom Kraft (kay) Parlor Acoustic In Albuquerque For $25
Here is a net little Custom Kraft (by Kay) acoustic for only $25. It needs a bridge and strings but otherwise looks complete. These are not great guitars - but they are fun and cool. And this one is probably older than our current president....

1967 Custom Kraft hollow-body
guitarz.blogspot.com
This Custom Kraft semi-hollow has some killer details - the beautiful Custom Kraft headstock, the double pickguard, the flash-shaped soundholes, the one bloc bridge/stoptail... I cannot tell if the strange positions of the knobs is incoherent or practical (I was playing my 25 year-old Ricky 620 today and I still don't get what knob does what - they have been on 10 all this time...)
When this guitar was made, Custom Kraft was a brand of the short-lived company created by the fusion of Kay and Valco, struggling to survive in the late 1960s and about to make room for the upcoming Japanese invasion. In just two years it released several very cool guitars, we'll definitely have to show some of them here!
