First Partcaster i built. Gilmours 57 Reissue from the 80's and 90's that he used on the Delicate Sound of Thunder and PULSE tour.
It was the most sexiest guitar i have seen.
This guitar was eventually parted up and sold but i kept the neck that i really loved. but i will rebuild it one day again.

Got a loaded Shadowsky body with the Kinmans for incredible $300. The color is funny, on photo it looks Lake Placid Blue, but its more greenish turquoise in real life.
Built up with a Japan neck i had. Nice thicker "C".
These Kinman pickups are the best noiseless PUs i have heard period.
The guitar remains my most modern guitar, but i also keep it open for modification and as a test platform for new hardware. A bold and cool Japanese Mojo guitar. The name Shadowsky is a combination of "The Shadows + Sadowsky"

This Guitar was owned by Alexander Hodnevik from the now defunct band: Comet Kid. It has seen thousands of hours in the studio and concerts. Loved the aged look and bought it. Came with Jazzy Cats from Klein and had a CBS Mazak bridge.
Currently with a temporary neck. Had a Am.Prof neck on it but sold it. The idea is to order a custom Musikraft neck and put it on.

Bought it for a nice price from a owner who bought it in London in 1983. The guitar has been modified over the years with humbuckers and has gained a full swimming pool route. It has now reverted back to factory specs as the original pots and original two pickups came with it. Decal was also replaced as it was mostly flaked of. Needs a refret down the line.

My first and only Telecaster build that i wanted to be out of the ordinary. Got a cool body from Paul Waldrop who specialize in reclaimed wood bodues.
Telecasters are not really my prefered guitars, although i love how they sound and what sound they can provide, i ended up selling it because of very little use.
