customized Epiphone Dot Studio and First Act Westerberg
























These are two guitars that I recently slightly modified: first an Epiphone Dot Studio (I have generally a very limited use for tone and volume on a guitar - I relay more on pedals to sculpt my tone - so the two knobs Dot Studio fits me better) to which I added a rosewood pickguard (bought more than one year ago), chrome pickup covers and rings, chrome bridge, stoptail and big knobs. I like the discreet bizarreness of the result! I'm considering changing the pickups later for humbucker size P90s.

The one on the left is a First Act Westerberg signature for which I made an aluminium pickguard (another one, but this time I'm getting better at polishing, not perfect yet but it's getting better each time!) It's a cheapo but sounds terrific as soon as I put some overdrive... Also I'm so used to humbuckers that I'm baffled but the brightness of its sound... I also plan to upgrade the pickup though, and ordered a Dream 90 from GFS - it's on its way.

Still have to make alu trussrod covers for both guitars, and file the frets of the First Act - its only but big flaw...

- 1985 Gibson Les Paul Studio In Apple Valley (desert) Ca For $650
 I don't know exactly what a 1985 les Paul Studio is wotrth but this one looks pretty clean so no matter what that is a good price on a 25 year old USA Gibson. I think the Black Studios are very cool - and those should be some very nice classic...

- 1999 Avri 62 Stratocaster (usa) In Birmingham Al Area For $650
These AVRI Strats are very nice - they look, feel and sound pretty much like well-made vintage guitars. They are usually fairly pricey - well over $1200 new so this one looks like a good deal - he says you don't get the hard case so it's up...

- Epiphone Galaxie 10 Tube Amp In La For $120
these Galaxie 10's were blown out a few years ago at Musican's Friend for $199 and that was a good deal at the time - this one is evencheaper. TRhey use a 6L6 power tube so they are louder than a Champ. oh, and it's BLUE!! Epiphone Galaxie...
