This has been my main guitar going on 20 years now. I bought it from the Auburn Guitar Shoppe in 2000 for a steal w/OHSC after it had hung out there for a year. This guitar is every bit the misfit I am - hair metal pickups with grunge rock styling - so it fits me perfectly. Most of the time, this is the one I play (along with the Jaguar and my Paul Dean), and I'll never sell it or get rid of it. Nikki is a bit of the omnipresent fixture even when the subject is not about music or guitars, turning up in my lap when I'm doing computer stuff quite a lot. That's just my comfort zone, a Jag-Stang, a 486 DX4, and some 80's tunes on.

I bought this one from Underground Vintage in 2010 and it was one of the longest chases for a guitar except my Fender Jaguar. This is another one of these "Never For Sale" guitars as I immediatley took to this one like a duck to water and it immediatley became one of my top three in the collection for recording (That I did not build myself). This is one of the very very few "hardtail" guitars I really really like. I have a whole second site on these guitars at google sites known as "Dean Machines", and some guy in Vancouver just revived this design in 2021ish along with the Odyssey name when he was not making guitars for Keith of D.O.A.

This was a major bucketlist guitar for me when I bought it in December of 2005. I had been chasing a Fender Jaguar since I was 11 years old at that point. This particular one is one of the three most used production instruments in my collection, most of the time for Drop-D or Drop-CG stuff, though I also use it in standard a lot as well. It has the provisions to install the Vibramute in it, which it ran for a good chunk of 2007, but I took it off because of how much ofo an afterthought that part was on this guitar as it affected the sleek-low action this Jag has in a negative way. So I removed the vibramute with intents to build a second Jaguar with a RECESSED Vibramute installed someday - likely from scratch. This one is my main Jaguar and tends to share gig duties with Nikki most of the time so it's one half of my main two live.

I built this guitar starting in July 2009 and ending in about March-April 2010. It was seen in earlier youTube videos with a Squier Affinity Strat neck on it while I waited to find the perfect neck. I wound up with two of the necks and tried returning the other to China for a credit but I could not get our courier services in this country (USA) to cooperate - so the second neck went on another guitar. This one still gets used a lot. You can usually tell when I'm using it because it sounds like a "pissed off Telecaster with a whammy bar, but with MegaBass!".

I bought this body and neck for $250 after buying the 1966 Fender Mustang as a restoration/hot-rod project. In the end, it sat for years, eventually with me finishing it in 2014, just in time to play Hempfest in Seattle with it. At that time it was running with stickers, in robin's egg blue, with a orange, home built TAP Plastics acrylic 1-piece pickguard, and a home made single coil in the bridge with Hard Drive Neodymium Magnets. The guitar lasted list thiss until 2018 when I rebuilt it for Murderock as "Murdermaster I" and was Mikey Ferox's main guitar up until leaving in 2020. During that time it got broken a bit so eventually was converted to a single humbucker configuration with a coil-split/kill swich. After Murderock it was repainted Sea Foam green for my wife and rebuilt as a quasi-Cobain-Mustang setup, which it is now. Despite Murderock being over, it still spends it's time 1 step down most of the time.

The Jagmaster was originally bought in 2007 after I already bought the butterscotch Tele. For awhile it did time with a Warmoth neck, ProTone Floyd, and DiMarzio Super II/Peavey P12 humbucker combo. Later this was switched back to the original pickups and a phase/reverse with off-option was added, eventally the tri-mode switching of the Mad rite guitar was also added. Then it was decked out in stickers and fake blood and used in a horror group for awhile. When the horror group went bizarrio, I decided to repaint it and rewire it. I spent 2021, 2022, and 2023 slowly working on putting this one together with the current setup, which is where we are now, with a trans green finish, custom wiring.

• Kay KE-17 Neck w/ Rosewood Fretboard, 22 jumbo Frets, Slim Profile, bone Nut, Kluson Revolution "F" Style Tuners, "butterknife headstock", and no string trees. Has hand-drawn "Angry Sun" graphic on headstock (from Super Mario Bros. 3)
• Pine Table-Stock "Super Mosrite" style Body, made almost entirely with hand-tools in my man cave in Lynnwood, WA (all I used was a pull saw and sandpaper - and a router later on)
• First Act Humbuckers (ME-537 in the neck, ME-636 in the bridge) with original First Act trim rings. Modified with a additional wire from the Series Link for Coil-Spilt and Parallel Functions.

• Washburn/System 2001 Wonderbar Transposing Vibrato System
• Acrylic Blue Transparent finish with Solarez Clearcoat (rough)
• Haircell Anti-Scratch Pickguard, also made largely withh hand tools

I was going through a odd Ricky Wilson/B-52's phase and found myself having G.A.S for a Mosrite or at least a cheap Hi-Flier approximation at this point. Instead of going out and paying the astronomical B.S. prices for one online, I decided to just build my own version - sort of an evil/metal version of Ricky's Mark V - using whatever I had available at home, and it's yet another major favorite of mine, and it only cost me about $15-30ish to build. A lot the time, if you hear wacky tunings with whammy bar, it's this guitar.

• Custom String Set (stock Bass VI D'addarios with a Fender .105 Low E as I play this thing in Drop-D and Drop-CG a lot)

This is my "multi-purpose" workhorse of the group. It acts as a bass that can emulate other basses, a baritone guitar, a "Ricky Wilson guitar" (for stuff that was in CFxxFF tuning like Rock Lobster and Dance This Mess Around), an ERG (It Djents no problem! and is tighter and lower than an 8-string), and is on pretty much every recording I've been doing since 2013 save for the handful of times I use the Segovia bass for a regular 4-string sound. As a bass, it can emulate a Mustang/P-Bass, Jazz Bass, ESP BT-204 (an old bass I borrowed off Lithium bandmate Hawk on some early demos), Epiphone EB-0 (but without that irritatingly over-bearing low end that made it hard to mix). It's replaced pretty much every bass I've ever owned up to this point except the Segovia.

• Maple Neck, Rosewood Fretboard, 22 jumbo-Flat (my own custom fret shape I came up with at 14) frets, dot inlays, Kramer "Shark" headstock (slimmed EVH style Banana basically), my has Centronics port printer clasps on the headstock, a break through the high E string tuner that was repaired by me in high school with Titebond and 2 wood screws (that's never breaking again), and a hold for a flag, Original Schaller Tuners

• Electronics I came up with at 17 years old: 1 Volume, 1 Tone, individual pickup on/off with coil split for the humbuckers (allowing all combinations), kill button (before I knew of Tom Morello at that), Strangle Switch, "Faux Rhythm Circuit" (simulates a Jazzmaster for Fuzz Tones)
• Original German Floyd Rose locking tremolo, setup floating, R2 Locking Nut cut for a flat-head screwdriver, EVH D-Tuna (and yes it works), Creeping Net Floyd Rose post Reinforcement bar (one of two made)
• Strung up with Ernie Ball Super Slinky .008-.040 Gauge Strings, tuned to Eb usually
• Alvarez hardshell case (I killed the original Kramer gig bag because I used it so much!)

My first electric guitar, bought at the Auburn Guitar Shoppe for $250 in 1995. This thing has been modified to hell and back. It is basically my "training guitar" for all my repairs just as much as I learned to play and use the whammy on it. It also was a true basketcase, at one point breaking strings so much I was making my own .014 gauge sets (Kurt Cobain and Paul Dean's interviews taught me to do that). These days she's semi-retired but comes out to play every once and awhile at nice local gigs or when I want that sound on something. It's got a unique sound to it that's all my own - just as much as the Jag-Stang does, it basically is my "early" sound, which is still quite handy. Aside from a few tiny tweaks everything is as I left it at 17/21 over 15-20 years ago.

The FrankenKramer's present day successor, where the switching scheme was optimized and the aggravations of a Floyd Rose have been weeded out in favor of a 2-point Stratocaster system. My wife got me this for my Wedding gift in 2013, and it's taken over as the main strat of the lot these days. Usuallly when I have a traditional or "fat Strat" sound it's usually this guitar. It's a bit more "Van-Haleny" in tone compared to the Frankenkramer so sometimes I'll still use Old Red if I need a thicker tone that's a little less as defined (due to 250K pots). It also does a pretty good approximation of a stock strat with the humbucker split. I may later modify this one further with a "Free-Way" 10-way Pickup selector and put a Kill-button where the three-way option switch is. Plus paint-match the headstock and put a new, custom Memphis 302HB Logo up there.

This is the first electric guitar I ever bought brand spankin' new, in 2007, off a bonus at work for a job well done. I paid $158.98 for it at Kennelly Keys music in Everett, WA and walked home with it, having lunch at IHOP with it as my "date" (LOL). Then I promptly went home and made the "Billy Squier Telecaster" video as soon as I ripped all the plastic off the pickguard and did a proper setup. It's turned up periodically on various recordings. You can usually tell when I use it because my tone is twanging, very Billy-Squier-Esque, a bit thinner than the Jazzmaster, and I tend to be playing faster lines with more articulation with sometimes a little Country flare periodically. Fun fact was I picked this up as a challenge because I was following Elliot Easton on the TDPRI forums at the time and I saw his quote "It's impossible to tell lies on a Telecaster" so I decided to take what I call the "Tele Challenge" and now it's a regular participant in recordings for that reason because my playing has a good sounding "Truth" to it, lol.

• Memphis 302HB Neck, Maple with Rosewood fretboard, "stinger" tilt headstock, import tuners, 21 medium frets, dot inlays
• Plywood Harmony H804 body, originally red, later stripped, thenn repainted with Sharpies to try and get that weird red/blue holographic effect as an experimental paint job

I bought this from a music shop in downtown Everett called "Hot Lixx" in 2005 just a short while before they closed as a red Rogue (Musician's Friend) Harmony H-804 guitar. The plan at the time was to make a "viral" YouTube video of me being a parody of Esteban (remember, the supposedly blind Flamenco guitarist that was shilling cheap guitars on TV back in the mid 00's) - called "Testybum", where I played a made up Jazz guitarist whose also blind, dresses ridiculously because of that, and is shilling a guitar he found in a dumpster. It'd never fly today because "insensitivity" but it never happened anyway. Instead it appeared on "Junk Guitar Jammin'" in 2006 and was modified and drawn on, and had stickers all over it ranging from Publisher's Clearing House to my old Prescription labels! Later the finish was stripped off and it was the "early" version of the above I called the "H-806". Later on, over the Pandemic, it was changed to what it is now. Currently this guitar is in planning to become rebuilt.

• Chrome Hardware, Black Plastic
• Ernie Ball Super Slinky .009-.042 Gauge Strings

I got this guitar from Swanson Jewelry and Pawn in 2001 for $75 in Montgomery. It was used on a couple Lithium recordings here and there and later parted around and swapped around for a time in the early 2000's, taken apart, and put back together, usually swapping parts with various Explorers that I had (as I liked the neck). In 2017 I rebuilt it and put it back together, later my wife decided to decoupage it with an 80's purple/pink/white image theme with pictures out of various magazines from the 80's which is how it has stayed ever since, this is the second of two decoupaged guitars in the collection. Currently, this guitar is in storage.

• Tone Pros Stratocaster copy tremolo unit
• Custom 70's Decoupage finish by my wife over original black paint
• Chrome Hardware
• Strung with Dunlop .009-.042

I bought this from Pawn X-Change in early 2009 for $50 on a whim with intents of modifying it even more, or at least adding to my collection of First Act guitars I had at the time (most of which I bought on sale at Wal-Mart). It later was taken apart and laid around for awhile before I decided to rebuild it after my wife Decoupaged the body and I routed it for a Strat trem with a set of chisels from the Daiso store while watching Mad Max or Jewel of The Nile (accounts vary). In 2018 it was the first guitar in a few to utilize Solarez UV Curing epoxy for the clearcoat. Currently this guitar is in storage.

Last guitar bought in Washington. Used to keep it in my office to de-stress between "bad" calls. It was originally red. I really liked it. When I moved to where I am now, I decided to refinish it orange to stand out, and as a guinea pig for testing out Solarez as a "quick" clearcoat finish. Currently, this is my Wife's Main guitar.

• 25.5" Scale, 18 Fret, Mahogany neck, Ebony Board, Bone Nut, Cheap tuners (replacements)

Got this in trade for some guitar repairs I did for a co-worker, Tim. It lives in the livingroom ATM. Was the first acoustic I carried out some successful wood-work on (modifying the bridge). It has low action but is very loud, I tried to make it more of a "Cheaper" version of the Yamaha that was my first guitar (which I hope to recover from my childhood closet someday). It's usually tuned 1-step down and I have plans to put a piezo transducer system in it so I can do recordings with it that don't involve stealing my wife's Shure microphone! Currently, this guitar is in storage.

Here's a big story. The first guitar body I made was in 1998, using pine sourced for free from the Lowes cut-off counter. That guitar was exactly like this one save for 2 strat single coils for humbuckers - but everything else was the same or similar. In 2018 EVH died, who was one of my biggest influences, so I built this in tribute using reclaimed wood from a construction/demolition site near my apartment. It also has correct proportions this time (rather than a Jazzmaster body scaled up from a book incorrectly so it was oversized and looked comically funky), and has the "eye Bolt" shoulder strap attachments. It's nice having this one back into the fold, and this build is way better than the one I did when I was fourteen which was lost to the sands of time.

This guitar has a VERY long history. It was bought in 2001 by me for $40 at a Montgomery Alabama pawn shop back in my Lithium days - the guitar itself consisted of over $400 in premium parts, many of which live on on my other guitars (My Kramer Focus 3000 has the Floyd Rose that this body had, and the Warmoth neck is on the VH II Panther LS). It was rebuilt as the "Black strat" for YouTube back in 2006 and used for a lot of Loverboy covers when needing to replicate Paul Dean's old Funky Strat (the red one with the Stoptail and Tele-style headstock). Then ripped up to be repainted for my then girlfriend (now wife), who then we realized was naturally aspirated to lefty playing, so it was pre-empted, then stripped of paint again, then refinished in Minwax Mahogany wood wipes, and setup as the "Brown Strat" from 2016-2022. In 2022, the guitar was repainted pink with white candy-stripe for my wife. There's a few relationship-related easter-eggs hidden in the finish ;) - Currently, this guitar is in storage.

Bought this guitar for our 5th Wedding Anniversary as a gift to my wife who has struggled to find the right guitar to "start out" on. So I got her this one. We still have it, though I play it periodically as well (see me covering Sparks on my YouTube - Tryouts for the Golden STrat (Human Race). It's stock, I don't do much more than maintain it really. It pretty much stays strung up with Ernie Ball Paradigm .009s and just does it's thing. It has a tone a bit similar to my Jag-Stang. I used this one to record "Tryouts for the Golden Strat" (me covering Sparks "Tryouts for the Human Race" on YouTube) and "Blood & Gold" in 2022 on BandLab. It'll turn upp sometimes here and there as my wife does no tlike the weight compared to her other three guitars that are smaller/lighter.
