This is one of my main guitars (together with the Dano '59 and the Blade).
I didn't even know this model existed when a guitar dealer offered to trade it for my crappy, $200 red Framus Strato on a guitar flea market last year. First I figured out how sweet it played and sounded, then I learned that you won't find these superior early models for less than $1400 (if you find one).
The Surfcaster guitar is typically known for its bell-like tone, solid bass, shimmering highs, beautiful vintage twang, rich overtones, and, when broken in - extreme sustain. The superior quality Chandler lipstick pickups are highly instrumental in the signature properties of the Surfcaster sound.

I have a couple weeks off coming up and I plan a little bit of beer and a lotta-bit of music.
I’ll probably be on my Fender Stratocaster and one of my Carvin California CT6 guitars mostly. So to prepare for the music fest I’m going through the process of cleaning, changing strings, and all that fun stuff.
One of my main guitars (together with the Dano '59 and the Surfcaster).
Gary Levinson's an American based in Switzerland but most of the guitars themselves are made in Japan.
I've had a couple of Blades, two ( Swiss made) RH4's and an RH2, and the build quality is absolutely top-notch and so is the standard of finish.
Blade Strats feature an active mid-boost (9V battery powered), with a three-way mini-switch, located between the volume- and tone-control knobs which make this guitar incredibly versatile.
Just the best Strat out there.
A while ago, I was working away when my boss at the time asked my friend and I if we woul dmind driving over to his house and moving a load of furniture to his new house. Sure we said, even though we were being paid to fix computers. Why not?
So we got over to his old house, where his wife was busy throwing away a bunch of old stuff into the pile of goods to go to the Salvo's. This guitar was amongst it all, and since we'd done such a good job, she let us keep anything from that pile. My mate picked up a bow and arrow set (he was pleased) and I grabbed this guitar. it was still in a dirty old case at the time, and i didn't even bother looking at it.
When I got home, i opened it up, and knew straight away this was no ordinary guitar - it was signed by the maker, was dated 1963, and was every bit a hand crafted beautifuly made spanish guitar. It had not been treated well over the years, as it had a large crack running down the wall, and through the top timber. i took it in to a repair guy (an afficiando on spanish guitars) who was very excited. He fixed it for me (took about 7 months of him procrastinating! - and about $600 of my cash) and it was set to go, good as new. I've been hunting around trying to find some information on the maker - and i think his name is Javier Rojo Solar - since this is a fiune guitar maker based in madrid and has been operating since the 50's. Well, next step is get in touch with him and send him these shots and see what he can tell me.
Maybe i'd better learn to speak spanish.
I don't like Gibsons. I've owned a couple but never liked them. They do sound sweet, but won't do anything better than my PRS Custom. And they're heavy - I mean really heavy, aircraft carrier heavy.
I've always loved the Firebird for its looks, so I bought this one back in 2007. It's top heavy but I still love it for it's sheer size. If you're tall this guitar still looks right on you. Great guitar for it's prize!
Sunday: Day of Rock.
Sticking with the guitar theme... this one's a bit easier to play than the GH controller though. ;o)

Lifetime Dream # 37 of my list of 155: I will own a Cobalt acoustic guitar, made by Carvin, with a natural wood finish and a rosette design around the sound hole. It will have a hard shell case with it, which will be embossed on the outside. I will include special fret board inlay designs symbolizing my production company. It will be tuned and aligned perfectly, giving off beautiful acoustic guitar waves. I will use this guitar primarily for un-plugged performances.
Completed On: March 23, 3007
World, meet Alberta. Alberta, meet the world. This is one of the most beautiful guitars that I own, but in the craftsmanship of the instrument, the design of the guitar, and in the quality of the sound that she gives off. A couple interesting stories about Alberta:
This was my first “real” guitar that I bought when I began to live the path of achieving dreams. I had bought a few low-end guitars, but I really had my eyes set on this guitar. I believed that I would get her in the Spring of 2007; I had no idea how, I just kept believing and seeing that I would (From “the Secret”). I found a path that would afford her, but that was taken away by taxes owed to the U.S. Government (thanks to tax mess-ups from a previous employer). Still I blindly believed, and I achieved this dream through divine interventions.
When I got her I was just amazed- over whelmed at the quality and craftsmanship, yet I hid her from my family for they do not understand my passion for music and instruments, Two and a half months later, I was playing Alberta at my sister’s wake. I had a lot of moments with just she and I… and the guitar. Right then and there I just decided I’d never hide behind the fear of what others, including my family, might thing. Thank God for that decision… I’d like to believe that somehow my sister heard me playing that night. In some way, I like to believe she was there… and that she took loved the quality of sound out of Alberta’s body!

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
It was summer of '69

Beautiful song.. I don't play the guitar but my brother does; I get bugged by his continuous play till midnight. Hope he starts playing good soon.. so that I can at least enjoy the music.. :-)

The PRS Tremonti looks & plays great, the build quality of this Korea made quitar leaves most american guitar manufacturers in shame. It sounds "ok", too, but nothing special...
...so I completely rewired this guitar, replaced the cheap pots and pickups by a pair of active EMG PU's (EMG 89 & EMG81). !!! I'd never sell it.

Special order by a co-worker. this is from the second shipment. The first was only 15 guitars, 2 of which went to Paul Gilbert. Not many of these out there right now.
In homage to Blind Melon...the album: Soup...the song, Lemonade.

One of my first guitars, a Fender G + L Stratocaster guitar. I’ve played and learned so many songs on this beautiful piece of wood, and I miss the days when I could play music all day long…
Strobist Info: 1 SB-800 @ 1/2 power from close upper front into silver umbrella. Triggered by internal flash (off)
This is a guitar I've but together from spare parts lying around, including a Bigsby Tremolo, A LSR Roller Nut, Sperzel Locking Tuners, a noiseless neck PU and a Seymour Duncan lil'59 bridge PU. Hence the "Telebastard" which I integrated into the Fender logo ;-)
It usually hangs on the wall of our band practice room's bar because it looks so cool :))
A Boogie Charles Jam Session!
The low mellow whine of a guitar playing Robert Johnson songs could be heard while some unlucky soul talks to the landlord of rent.
Lmao, okay. Seriously, we were in the middle of playing the guitar when the landlord came by for rent. Since I was the adult there, I had to negotiate with the landlord over rent. All this going on while my little sister began playing a crude version of George Thorogood's "One Beer, one burbon, One Sctoch." Worst of all, it was the rift where he was telling the story of his landlord trying to collect rent.
Try keeping a straight face in that situation.
So I took a picture of her once the landlord left. Then, I made this picture as a tribute to blues. I really like the grunge theme our house gives off. What else would you expect from skateboarders and people who play rough? Enjoy a look into our messy house.
Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
I choose a light source and/or subject, set my camera for a long exposure (typically around 4 seconds), focus on my subject and push the shutter button. When the shutter opens I move the camera around with my hands...large, sweeping, dramatic movements. And then I will literally throw the camera several feet up into the air, most times imparting a spinning or whirling motion to it as I hurl it upward. I may throw the camera several times and also utilize hand-held motion several times in one photo. None of these are Photoshopped, layered, or a composite photo...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and this series you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.

Albeit supremely risky this is one of my favorite ways to produce abstract photographs.

Гітара -- Ukrainian for Guitar. I figured that since I'm making an everyday familiar object look so foreign to the visual senses that I needed a foreign language to describe the set too.

A crappy, cheapo guitar with weak pickups and a neck to wine about... It was made the same month of the same year that I was born and sounds badass when played over a High Gain Mesa/Boogie...!
(With a nod to Handel.)
My guitar, Suzy, can be seen, real and abstracted, in the series in my set: "Johnny Guitar," here...

This collage was made entirely from magazine strips with a technique I call "painting with paper." I cut the paper into different shapes and layer them in such a way that they look almost like the brushstrokes in a painting.
If you have any questions about this piece, feel free to send me a message or leave a comment.
This Strat Plus model was built 1997, this guitar is an upgraded version of the mid-1980s American Standard Stratocaster (first introduced in 1986) featuring three Gold Lace Sensor pickups (which I replaced with Custom Shop '69's), LSR roller nut, Sperzel locking machine heads, a TBX tone control for the middle and bridge pickups and a Hipshot Tremsetter.
A nice guitar, but not even close to a Levinson Blade...! I'll sell it as soon as someone's willing to buy it.
