Danelectro model 4123

1963-1969
Masonite, Poplar, Rosewood

Also known as the Guitarlin, the Danelectro 4123 is remarkable not only by shape but by sound: Its extra long 31 frets neck adds a mandolin range.

Guild S-50 Jetstar

1963-late 70s
Mahogany or Alder, Rosewood

The S-50 was the first solid body to come out of Guild’s factory, along with its bigger brothers, the S-100 Polara and the S-200 Thunderbird. The model lived through few changes, especially in the 70s when it acquired the body shape of a Gibson SG. The original version showcases a firebird-like headstock. In any case, the S-50 rocks.

1963 Fender Music Master.

The finish was sanded-off for a natural look, and a bevel was applied to edges. Quite an interesting customized piece.
