The Deep South Mascot. Used to be Southside’s mascot so i’m returning the favour. This mutant is going to have to be beaten from my hands. It’s the DS Vintage pet. A total mutant.

Its actually a Norma Burns Copy body with a 12-string neck to bring it back to a 6-string; but then it seems to have the original fretboard from the Norma Burns copy as the pearl inlays are the same.

Dont think it’s the original pickups either but who cares – when it sounds like this – it is deservid of the word awesome.

So the Jesus Saves Model made by… none other than The Man Himself. Double P90′s – blended – (both pickups on / both with volumes / and a low mid and high blender). Low blend is all wooly and fuzzy, but then you flick to the mid and the high blend’s to add the incredible bite, crunch and cut of the top pickup.

Killer sounding gitbox – not for sale – maybe.

Harmony were once the largest music instruments manufacturer in America. Founded in 1892 by William Schultz. Harmony made its name post-War making ukuleles and was eventually bought by Sears; and they went on to sell 350,000 guitars at its peak in ’65 out of Chicago and over 8 million before the doors closed in 1975.

This is a Jap built 80′s solid body, dual pickup, with a great blues tone. Lovely overdriven pickup sound. Very pretty orange-burst glossy finish and signature fish-tail headstock.

Not much info on this one. Great little guitar for mincing on. Also one that’s good for the Girls cause it’s really small and light.

The “Mudbucker” – Gibson’s top selling bass of the 60′s and 70′s. One of the most recognizable and renowned basses Gibson ever made. One of the world’s signature basses.

This is a ’69 Walnut Mahogany, single humbucker, or “Mudbucker” as it is more commonly referred to, that gives a super low, lumpy, phat, warm and mellow 60′s tone. It’s a short scale bass, which was very popular in the mid to late 60′s. As played by Jack Bruce, John Entwistle and Andy Fraser

It’s a classic bass sound. Really. I can’t emphasize enough how cool this thing sounds. A thumper rather than a twanger (like the 1444 in store). Amazing for 60′s style genres.

Egmond guitars were the very first acoustic guitars of John Lennon, George Harrison, Keith Richards, Brian May, and Rory Gallagher and Macca’s first acoustic, electric and first bass were Egmond’s.

The Egmond Guitar Company was founded by Uilike Egmond in Eindoven, Holland (another guy that started building guitars from the back of his guitar shop), but during the 60′s Egmond became one of the biggest guitar luthiers in Europe after moving into their new factory in Best ’61.

This is another one for the wall. My first guitar. Pretty cool though that I didn’t smash it.

We Are You…

We are passionate about writing playing and recording great music. We love the processes and tools used in the past and the present to produce great music. We feel that all music is recapitulation and a reinterpretation of what has gone before, that the only thing that changes is the perspective of the creators and the knowledge that a good tool will always hold its value and can enable someone to paint a picture relative and fresh in its time .

We Want To…

Offer budding or experienced musicians and producers killer vintage guitars and basses to start with and in the mean time great we will be hunting down and finding vintage amps, synths, effects and recording gear. We want to import quality kit mainly from the US and Europe for re-sale in Ireland, the UK and Mainland Europe.
