I have a thing about buying a special guitar from the month and year of my children’s birth. Something to pass down to them on their 21st birthday. They may hate music, who knows, but I think it’s still a cool thing to have. Hopefully it reminds them of me.

This is perfect for my daughter. A Fender Custom Shop custom built '56 Stratocaster Relic, Black under Red from August 2020

• Alder body
• Fat 50's neck and middle pickup
• Fat 50's HW bridge pickup
• Fat 50's strat controlls

• Fretwire: Vintage Upgrade
• 7.25" radius
• 1.650" nut width

Here’s some photos of my FENDER USA Telecaster Deluxe Olympic Pearl + Rosewood.

Apologies for the watermarks, they are form the advertisement from when I bought the guitar. I’m not a photographer any any photo I take myself look crap.

- Body: Alder Body w/ Tortoise Shell Binding

- Fretboard: Rosewood

-Pick-ups: Noiseless N3 Single-Coil Tele Pickups

Gorgeous tortoise shell binding gives this a real classic look.

Straight up, no nonsense, timeless classic!

I thought I’d start this community off with a post featuring one of the favorites in my collection, my 1989 Gibson Les Paul Standard.

• Rare iteration produced for Gibson’s Japanese distributor Yamano
• Similar to the Showcase model but with a Nashville bridge
• Cream plastic, Goldtop lacquer finish, and a pair of clear bobbin P-100 pickups
• P-100 pickups deliver the growl and midrange fullness of a P90, but with an extra hum-cancelling coil
• Solid, non-weight relieved mahogany body and carved maple top
• Weighs a light 9lbs 1oz
• One-piece mahogany neck with a slender C shape at the nut and a gentle taper up the fretboard
• Dark, tight-grained rosewood fretboard with original wide/flat Gibson fretwire
• Stock Gibson Deluxe tuners and CTS pots from 1988
• Original Gibson/Yamano COA booklet and brown tole Gibson USA hardshell case

Overall, she’s an incredibly well-preserved beauty and a tribute to the ’56 Les Paul, sure to spark some envy in the hearts of fellow guitar enthusiasts!
