  Aluminati Orion At first glance, this guitar is BARELY purple. The bridge is purple. The headstock is purple. But if you look closely, the whole neck is purple. The neck which is made of aluminum, by the way, hence the name. (Which would be Aluminiaiti Guitars for our British friends.) Also the purple itself is barely purple. Does anyone remember the Rogue Aluminator from the 90s? That had an aluminum body with a bunch of holes for weight reduction. (We did not know what “trypophobia” was bac...

  Whenever someone mentions another individual in a post without explaining the relationship, I always just assume it’s their cat. I’m astounded by how many of your cats have jobs or post-graduate degrees or are amazing chefs or whatever.

  Crews Maniac Sound - Six Nylon #AcousticApril is over and we are done with acoustics. …Or ARE we‽ Once upon a time, Les Paul realized that if you are going to put magnetic pickups on a guitar anyway, then it really does not need to have a big, hollow, “acoustic” body.

  Zemaitis CAF-90H Tony Zemaitis was a British luthier known for building guitars with elaborately engraved metal tops or inlaid pearl mosaics that look like museum pieces from the Renaissance era. They were played by some very famous artists, particularly in the 60s and 70s. Zemaitis Guitars is now owned by the same Japanese company that owns Greco (who as far we know, do not make purple guitars, and therefore we have never had any reason to mention). We have seen heart-shaped sound holes befor...

  Ibanez Lari Basilio LB1 This guitar combines tele and strat features, which many have done in one form or another. In this case, it combines a tele shape with strat contours and body binding even around the arm carve, which seems non-trivial construction-wise, but this is a premium guitar. Featuring custom Lari Basilio pickups from Seymour Duncan in HSS configuration, including a tele neck and an unusual looking middle pickup which is actually just another tele style pickup with an open-top c...
