American Strat

This is my late 80’s American Standard Strat. I bought it new. I kept it original for years. I used to be a real stickler for keeping guitars stock. One day I decided that I really didn’t like the bridge tone on the Strat. To me a Strat shine on the neck and middle pickups. I decided to throw in a GFS Lil Killer pickup. Now I can get a kick ass humbucker tone and all the strat tones that I like. I really enjoy this guitar since I modded it.

75 Gibson Les Paul Gold Top

This is my 75 Les Paul Gold Top. You will notice the pickups are not original and neither is the hardware. Gold Tops did not come with gold plated hardware. I installed the pickups myself. There is a Duncan Custom in the bridge and a 59er in the neck. I’ve had this guitar for close to 20 years now. At the time I had no idea on what the value of the guitar was or that I shouldn’t have routed out a vintage instrument. I have no regrets though. This guitar sounds killer and it will sustain for days.
