Jack, the top one is Guitarzilla, the second one is JR.Blue, a 6-string bass and the bottom one is Bass Tweed and the tallest rod, welded around the plate, is 60".

For the acoustic guys, I have the Simese, although in retrospect, maybe I should have named it the Breast-O-Phone....

Changed my mind, you'll have to settle for the one in my avatar.
Darvin Willhoite
MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

You can see a picture of my steel when you look at my avatar. It's a red & gold GFI I nicknamed "Redgold Beauty".

Jani that is a beauty of a guitar. And I imagine that this is the first one you built? Because we have not seen anything about you completing the second one.
Say what are those long thin string-like things hanging from your guitar? I am sure they are not guitar strings...maybe it is strands from your long hair huh? ;-) :P
Best wishes

Stephen,
Nothing wrong with that Fulawka of yours either. Man what beauty Eddie cranked out there! How old is it?

That Fulawka was originally built in the early 70's I believe, Eddie bought it from the deceased owner's widow, and re-furbished it. New changers, cross-over switch, etc,etc. If you go to the Fulawka web site, you can see it in its original condition, with 2 pickups on the E-9 neck, and the older style end plates. The single 12 on the home page used to be mine as well. Eddie's the man, and I'm happy to say a great,great friend!
