Guitar of today.....Squire Vintage '51
The '51 gives you a winning combination of contoured form and streamlined electronics...all in a great playing and affordable guitar.
The Squier '51 delivers all the great style and features of the original value-priced screamer of the mid 2000s. All of the '51s enormous tonal versatility is back, with a powerful SH pickup configuration, rotary pickup selector, push-pull coil tap and more.

The '51 features include a basswood body, satin-finish maple neck with "C"-shaped profile, 9.5"-radius maple fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets, single-coil Stratocaster neck pickup and hot hum-bucking bridge pickup, knurled "chrome dome" master volume control k**b that also functions as a push-pull bridge pickup coil-selector switch (full hum-bucking or inner coil only for single-coil bridge pickup tone), knurled "chrome dome" three-position rotary pickup selector switch (in place of a tone control k**b), single-ply white pickguard and six-saddle hard-tail bridge.
With such versatility in the electronics, there’s no end to the sounds this excellent ‘51 can produce, with warmth and twang aplenty. The neck single-coil is superb for vintage rhythm and lead playing, especially with a little crunch. The bridge humbucker is a little raw and noisy, but it gives a good output and, through a good amp or distortion pedal, is thick, meaty and aggressive enough for modern rock, punk and even metal. But experimentation with the pickup pairings and coil-split allow for too many tones to mention.
The Vintage Modified ‘51 is the complete package – affordable, highly playable, good looking, very versatile – Not many guitars can boast that it would appeal to an experienced player as much as a complete beginner.

The cult of vintage pickups.....these (Teisco) gold foils were recently taken off a sourced circa 1960 Fujigen-made EJ-3 guitar and we hope to get it back together in the near future.
Why gold foil pick ups? I think in the years to come, these pickups will continue to increase in desirability due to their awesome tonal qualities... Jason Lollar commented that gold foils make cheap guitars sound great....and they are amazingly versatile. We have a DeArmond set on a vintage Harmony Rocket in our collection and they kick out that gnarly 60's sound.

Guitar of the day.....Danelectro '67 Hornet re-issue ~
great sounding and playing guitar bundled with rock and roll history at a decent price!
The hornet sports a curvy body that reminds me of the shape of a Jazzmaster or a Jaguar, but with a small tail. It's thin, about 1-3/8" at the thickest part. The body is basswood with a great paint finish.
It sports a maple neck with inline Kluson tuners and a single action truss rod. The fingerboard is rosewood.
It's a extremely versatile guitar, throw in a low end price, and really what's not to like?

Guitar of the day.....Squire Cyclone, by Fender.....
Like its big sister Fender version, the Cyclone offers a classic design with modern features. A small contoured body with vintage style tremolo with a single coil humbucker pickup configuration. The Cyclone boasts a alder body, maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard (24-3/4" scale)
It's a great guitar for a beginner or a seasoned player
