Custom assembly by Hoopdriver Bicycles, Fall 2009.
Vintage, original Masi 3V Volumetrica road.
The Masi 3V Volumetrica, introduced in 1981, and developed and produced by Alberto Masi during the early 1980's was way ahead of its time with innovative internal lugs and oversized steel tubing. This type of construction made a huge impact on modern framebuilding; the use of oversized tubing on road bike frames is commonplace today.
Here are photos of my custom Keef Telecaster build, from many years ago.
The neck pup is a Gibson Burstbucker One humbucker; the bridge pup is a Don Mare pedal steel wind single coil. It screams. The middle position is totally killer.
Swamp ash body with Gibson red to gloss black sunburst, painted by me with rattle can lacquer. Came out pretty good! All the wear and tear is 100 percent legit.
Warmoth Strat neck, compound radius, on a third-party Ash body; jumbo frets. Callaham "vintage" tuners, vintage wiring harness, hand-carved bone nut, brass and aluminum compensated bridge saddles (I think they're Glendale; I forget). Glendale bridge plate. All the screws are standard blade, vintage 50s style. This guitar will be in my casket when I'm buried, I will never sell or give it away. It's not a 100 percent correct reproduction of Keith's guitar (I didn't mount the neck humbucker upside down), but sound-wise, it's pretty damn close.
I play it through a Vox AC4C1-12, with the "bright-cap mod." For effects, I stick to some pretty basic stuff: my MXR Dyna Comp compressor (sometimes), a EHX Soul Food overdrive, a Tone City "Tape Machine" delay pedal, and a very cheap Aroma "Ocean Verb" reverb pedal. I usually don't use them all at the same time. I also have a Joyo tremolo pedal, which sounds just like the tremolo on my old Ampeg Reverberocket. One of the great cheap pedals out there ...

Owned this one a while ago. It rode well but it never really fit me right, no matter what I did to adjust the size.

This 2010 KHS 'Urban Soul' singlespeed was customized for its new owner with inverted swept-back bars, a rack, and EVO flat aluminum fenders, also available in blue, black and silver.
A nice bike for a very reasonable sum.
