TOOLS OF TRADE
 
 

these pictures above are no accident or random arrangements. beside levin archtop, gretsch corvette and hofner verithin that sneaked in... there are at least bit displayed my most played guitars: 1970 gower dread that i sold three years ago in finacial trouble and bought it gladly back last week for twice the price, 1980 rickenbacker 620/12 with 4 piece neck, modern bigsby prototype that never went into production, 1999 54 les paul reissue (with real 50's b-7 that i got from duke krammer years ago),  pine bodied esquire with bigsby b16 that i built, hollowbodied ash esquire  with bigsby b16 that i built in 1999 as a movie prop but it ended up being one of my fav,  kawai duo with bigsby b5 that i priced out of reach so i can keep it to look at, washburn nv-300, all aluminum telecaster and all aluminum stratocaster both made by greg bailley (or at least the neck in case of strat) . the center piece of the top picture is 1975 carvin doubleneck that i bought thinking it is just cool stage guitar with peanut shape but upon delivery found out that it is probably one of the best instruments i ever had.  to say that i don't use any other would be understatement.  once guitar players go OCD - we can pile up amazing mountains of instruments ....so i really use many vintage and modern rickenbacker guitars, some ovation applause as well as some old czechoslovakian guitars (since i came from there) and that list would be rather long. i also happen to have some guitars for sale. i am not a store so those things are not new. i used many of them for years before eventualy going with something more suitable for the job.

being a musician for a quarter of the century and guitar headcase for about  30 years i  have realized that it is time to share some information here and there so this section of my website is going to do just that and perhaps debunk some myths as well so if you are  guitar fan - like me - stay tuned. i have some time now that i can't get much out of house since is so cold so i hope to do some additions here before the snow will thaw here in buffalo and before i'll pack my things and  go home to europe late spring 2009.
