2011 Artinger Chambered Solidbody, Mahogany/English Sycamore
This 2011 Artinger looks great, feels great, and sounds fantastic. What more is there could you want? Seymour Duncan P90s with volume-volume-tone knobs and three-way switch is straightforward, but still offers a ton of options for your tonal palette. The body is chambered for a slim 7lb playing weight, and comes wrapped up in a striking Cedar Creek alligator skin(ish) hardshell case.

Set-neck construction meets a finely tuned tone machine in this ESP Eclipse Custom.

At the heart of it all, a pair of EMG JH ‘Het Set’ active pickups deliver the clarity and punch of passives, with a tight attack and clean, controlled low end.

We love the work of the Fender Custom Shop; they are undoubtedly producing some of the most excellent electric guitars on the market. Considering they are one of the few who wrote the book on what an electric guitar is, this 1955 relic’d reissue feels, looks, and sounds incredible. It features a full neck profile and handwound ’55-style single-coil pickups. This instrument has the quintessential Stratocaster vibes. It’s been relic’d, so you don’t have to baby the finish, and it already feels well-worn and played-in. This is a lot of electric guitar mojo for the price. Dressed in Faded Fiesta Red, this guitar would look and sound good in anyone’s guitar stable. Oh and by the way, it was signed by Stratocaster master John Cruz.

This 2013 Fender Custom Shop “50th Anniversary ’54” Stratocaster, dressed in a relic’d Aztec Gold, is something to look at and, frankly, to listen to. The Stratocaster is one of the most iconic instruments in the world, spanning generations and genres alike. This specimen, however, has an undeniable surf rock vibe to it. Perhaps it’s the illustrious gold hue or even the delightfully oxidized paint from the relicing process. Handwound ’54 single-coil Stratocaster pickups and gold hardware. Incredibly figured birdseye Maple neck and fingerboard. What more could an electric guitarist want?!

A first for us from the bench of James Macdonald, this guitar named “Steal This Book” is one of three in a series crafted by Macdonald, dedicated to counterculture literature. *Steal This Book* by Abbie Hoffman was an exemplification of the 1960s counterculture and quickly sold more than a quarter million copies. The number of books stolen is unknown. This book was quite influential for James Macdonald. In his own words:
“I first came across Abbie Hoffman’s offering in the paperback rack of my local library when I was a seventh grader in the early seventies. I flipped through the pages and saw some sort of instructions on how to make a Molotov Cocktail. As one who spent a lot of time as a kid setting off firecrackers, this looked like fun. I remember giving the library a quick once over and feeling the urge to do as Abbie said—steal the book! My better angels won out that day, and I left it behind. My marquetry tells a different story—*Steal This Book* in the act of being stolen. What a radical name for a book!”
This instrument features astounding marquetry work; the attention to detail here is quite staggering. The headstock veneer references yet another book, the anti-war classic *Johnny Got His Gun* by Dalton Trumbo. The body is Honduran mahogany, with a figured walnut top and a variety of woods making up the marquetry: maple, holly, satinwood, smoked eucalyptus, butternut, and Sitka spruce. Aesthetics aside, this guitar actually sounds incredible, offering classic Les Paul tones. The Sheptone Red Headed Stepchild humbuckers can sing soothingly or scream raucously.

This 2021 Master Burst from Marchione is a powerhouse electric guitar with an extremely versatile sound and a full-bodied tone. It also features a full neck profile, making it perfect for those who prefer a chunkier neck yet still want to shred like a wizard in the land of the midnight sun.
The guitar boasts a gorgeously figured Maple top and a Mahogany body. Its striking orange burst finish might be a subtle warning: you’ll get so captivated by this guitar that you could lose track of reality—or perhaps it’s a caution to your audience, as faces are sure to be melted.
Whether you’re into prog rock, metal, funk, or smooth, straight-ahead jazz, this guitar simply works. With great sustain, Sperzel locking tuners, and Tone Specific PAF-style humbucking pickups, this instrument is a pure delight.

1984 Mosrite ‘The Ventures’ Model. What a blast from the past this mighty axe is! Often referred to as “the band that launched a thousand bands,” The Ventures’ cultural impact is still felt today, far beyond the guitar-centric surf-rock vibes of the ’60s. While this band was indeed guitar-centric, this was the guitar.
In the mid-1980s, Mosrite production found its way into our neck of the woods—Jonas Ridge and Morganton, NC—just about an hour away from our shop here in Weaverville, NC. The guitar is loaded with Mosrite’s proprietary single-coil pickups, often mistaken for P-90s or humbuckers. These pickups deliver an unmistakable punchy chime and clarity.
This guitar is uncirculated, a one-owner piece straight from the factory. It truly doesn’t get any better than this!

Further, indeed. The team at Alembic has been pushing the envelope for years, and that sterling reputation for innovation has led to a community of ardent fans of both basses and electrics. We recently landed one of their Further models from 2015, and we get what all the fuss is about: this is a well-oiled machine capable of handling, well, anything. Purpleheart body with Buckeye top and back laminates; through neck; chrome hardware; and heaps of electronics. The team outfitted this one with volume, three pickup selectors, three filters, effects loop, effects loop bypass, LED position markers—the works. Whew! The through neck is a laminate of Flame Maple, Purpleheart, and Cherry, and is such a strikingly gorgeous number with silky play feel to boot. The fit and finish is flawless from tuners to tail, and we find ourselves struggling to put it down for any real length of time. Weighs in at eight pounds for a solid heft that won’t bow your shoulders: the Alembic Further is the complete package.

We’ve long admired the work Bill Asher has done for Ben Harper and other top players. This is a custom one-off UltraTone SC Deluxe Edition with a highly figured Flamed Koa top stained to a beautiful golden brown patina. Bill outfitted it with his Steel-Bucker pickups for a strong voice and gave it versatile wiring with a 16 position Vari-Tone swtich. This guitar can move from sparkling clean to mid crunch to full out screaming, whatever your heart desires. The maple neck and Madagascar Rosewood board have a wonderful feel as well. This is a top notch, custom electric from Asher Guitars of California.

John Buscarino’s Mira solid-body electric boasts top-of-the-line components, select-grade woods and John’s fanatical attention to detail. You’ve got to check out this bird’s eye maple neck yourself — striking! The Mira comes with three of John’s finest custom pickups. The result is a guitar with voices for your every genre — jazz, rock, funk… whatever! Pickup-wise, there’s a high-output Alnico 5 in the rear, one Alnico 3 in the middle (with the coils facing each other in the center for a fat single coil sound), and one Alnico 3 in the front with series parallel wiring and a push pull pot to go from a warm jazz sound to a brighter single-coil sound. Controlling all this power is a five-position switch. It’s a fantastic setup guaranteed to get nearly ANY sound you need out of an electric guitar!

The Jazz Strat was created by John Buscarino to the discriminating player who prefers a solid body sound and feel but stills seeks a clean and pure tone and the perfect playability that all Buscarino’s share. You immediately know this is a fine handmade guitar lightyears ahead of a factory strat, the thick ebony fingerboard, stainless steel frets and hand shaped neck heel and body contour give the feel of quality. The Swamp Ash body pulls all the tone from the 2 single coil and 1 humbucking pickups for an array of tonal possibilities. Even distorted this guitar sounds beautiful and musical. If you’ve been craving a top-shelf electric guitar properly suited for Jazz, blues and even rock, this is your Buscarino.
