Line 6 Variax Acoustic 700 Modeling Guitar
This is just
an amazing guitar with too many features to mention. Expensive, but
worth every penny. Imagine a solo performer traveling with a 12-string,
a nylon string, an electric and a sitar to Liverpool! Now imagine bringing
just one guitar and getting all those sounds. It kicked the proverbial
butt in the Cavern Club in Liverpool. It's gear! Jan also used this
guitar recording the "Back to the Gazebo" CD. Click on the guitar to

Stratocaster® XII 12-String
This unusual Stratocaster
XII 12-string guitar features an alder 3-Color Sunburst body, maple
neck and rosewood fingerboard with 21 frets. Vintage tuning machines
and a fully adjustable bridge make tuning quick and easy. Three vintage-style
single-coil Strat pickups give you the full, chiming tone you want from
an electric 12-string.
And the action is exactly that of a regular 6-string Strat - - better
believe it, dude!

Epiphone Sheraton II
This Midnight Black Archtop
Series Sheraton II boasts the sustain of a solidbody with the fat tone
of a jazz guitar. It features a bound maple body with a 24.75" scale
set mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard with block and triangle
inlays. The hardware? Two Alnico humbuckers, gold plated machine heads,
and a 3-way toggle. Cool!

Epiphone Viola Bass
From the golden age of British
music, comes the bass that looks as good as it sounds! The Viola bass
works great and is retro all the way. This bass is a nice adaptation
of the famous Hofner 500/1 played by Sir Paul McCartney. Laminated maple
body, maple neck with rosewood/dot fretboard. Played by the bassist
in Ringo Starr's Roundheads band.
