What could be cooler than a 70's Fender Jazz Bass?  How about a brand new, G&L JB?  This is so cool, a maple neck with a black, block markers, sunburst finish, two G&L JB Alinico 5 single coil pickups.  The neck is hard rock maple, the body is alder, it is 1 1/2'' at the nut.  If you like seventies funk, you'll be over the moon for this.  The Brothers Johnson wish they had this bass.  I've dealt vintage guitars for many years and this is better than any 70's vintage Jazz Bass I ever had.  I don't want offend any owners of 70's Fender's, I LOVE them, but this is lighter, and honestly, better made.  Hey, don't take my word for it. Try it, you'll love it.  Comes with hard case.

Featuring black Block Inlay and Neck Binding.

This McCarty 594 features Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. This feature is usually only available on Artist Package models, but is available here for a very limited time.

The McCarty 594 is a vintage-inspired instrument that is at once incredibly familiar and effortlessly playable. Whether you are looking for rich, authentic, vintage humbucking tones or nuanced, sweet single-coil sounds, the McCarty 594 can seamlessly master both sonic territories thanks to the 58/15 LT pickups and push/pull coil taps on the tone controls. The electronics layout, a few key specifications, and PRS craftsmanship combine in the McCarty 594 to create an instrument that plays in tune, is intonated the entire length of the neck, and feels like a guitar that you’ve been playing forever.

"The 594 is the best new guitar I've played in years. It has a vintage heart and soul but without the technical limitations that usually come along with an old instrument. What good is an old guitar if you can't get all that feel out of the upper frets, or the intonation is off? To hear that old PAF sound but be able to articulate the notes in a way that only modern manufacturing could allow is so exciting." – John Mayer

This Custom 24 has been upgraded with a 10-Top, Artist finish (Bonnie Pink), Artist Grade flamed maple neck and fingerboard. Also features a Pattern Thin neck profile.

Do you guys know the story about the PRS Custom finish, Bonni Pink?  Bonni Lloyd was an early PRS employee, one of the first.  She wanted a pink guitar and they guys at PRS made her one.  Word got out and PRS made a few in very limited numbers during the late 1980's. Those guitars are highly sought after and are valuable collectors items.  This one just came in, we had to wait a while to get it, again, it is being made in limited numbers.  This guitar is new, a PRS Custom 24 with flames out the wazoo, a 10 top, bird inlays, and of course, the super cool Bonni Pink finish.  It has a pattern/thin neck and vibrato.  The finish is so cool, it's awesome.  Oh, there may be some that scoff at a pink finish, but remember, Jeff Beck played a pink Charvel.  You think you are cooler than Jeff Beck?  I don't think so.  So, man up and get this great guitar before some other, less insecure person grabs it.  Comes with hard case.

Where do I even start? I suppose with the top, because that's the very first thing you'll notice about this guitar.
The Raspberry finished, Artist Grade Quilted maple top is insane. The figuring is perfectly book matched and so defined with so much depth that the top looks 3D. When I first looked at this guitar, I just couldn't stop staring at the top. Check out the photos and you'll see for yourself.
This guitar was custom built for the Nashville Summer NAMM Show in 2003. It was at this show that PRS first introduced the Raspberry finish, and every guitar displayed in their booth was Raspberry. This guitar was the only Custom 22 Artist Package at the show. The backplate is signed by Paul Reed Smith himself, and states "Nashville NAMM 2003". The pickups have been changed to Dimarzio DP163's, and a push pull tone knob was added. It's a great-sounding, and very versatile set up. The condition is near mint. The frets are in perfect, unplayed condition. There is hardly any signs of play wear, with the only notable cosmetic flaw being a tiny little ding on the top. The neck is straight and true. The action is super fast and easy to play. The guitar plays and sounds awesome. The Raspberry finish was discontinued after only a few years, so this is a very cool, rare, and collectable guitar.
Comes with the original hardshell case, hangtags, and all paperwork.
