- 1981 Guild Starfire Iv Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com: Here's a Guild Starfire SF-4 from 1981 with walnut finish, set neck construction, ebony fingerboard, factory stop tailpiece, and Westerly, RI label. Yes, a tasteful guitar from the 1980s; perhaps only those Guild XR-7 pickups...
- More Vintage Japanese Solidbody Wackiness: Zenon Zes-170
guitarz.blogspot.com: I have no idea how this 1960s Japanese-made Zenon ZES-170 guitar might sound, but aesthetically it's a triumph ... that is, so long as you appreciate such retro wackiness. I'd like to see a small company like Eastwood or...
- For The Left-handed Player Who Has Everything... Leftie Gold Tone Banjitar
guitarz.blogspot.com: I've just been trawling through all the left-handed guitars on eBay, trying to find something a little bit different for our southpaw friends - who, rather unfairly, do not get the same range of choices when it comes to guitars...
- Kramer Ferrnington Rt-3 Richard Thompson Signature Acoustic From The Late 1980s
guitarz.blogspot.com: Apologies for the lack of a Guitarz post yesterday; I was simply too busy to get to use the computer (these days I'm trying to get out and about a little more and actually play the guitar rather than just writing about it). Moving...
- 1997 Fender Stratocaster "reverse" Jimi Hendrix Tribute Model
guitarz.blogspot.com: Today is the 41st Anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix (18 September 1970). He was known to be quite self-effacing, so what he would have made of this Fender Hendrix Tribute Stratocaster from 1997, I don't know, but I suspect...

Brand new retro-styled guitar designs from PureSalem
guitarz.blogspot.com:
My name is Richard Sell and I am the owner of PureSalem Guitars. We are a new small company that plans to open in early 2013. PureSalem will be producing small runs of oddball, weird and wonderful guitars. There will always be something new popping up. As a left handed player I will be producing all PureSalem models in lefty versions as well and at no additional cost. PureSalem is a 100% DIY company and a true labor of love. I think players will enjoy the quirkiness of what we are going to put out and at a great price point which certainly doesn't hurt either.Hi Richard, those designs are certainly quite refreshing in this day and age of so many cookie cutter guitars. Sorry to draw comparisons, but the one at the top of the above montage looks almost like a combination of a Vox Marauder and a Ovation Breadwinner, whilst the yellow guitar with its reverse body is reminiscent of the Tokai Hummingbird. It's nice to know also that you are catering for the lefties, who are a group of players who are all too often unfairly overlooked. Please keep us posted about any developments with Pure Salem guitars; we look forward to hearing a lot more about your company!
