2009 Alembic Further "Coyote"!
$24,999.00This classic custom Further's origin story is featured on Alembic's website at: http://www.alembic.com/info/ fc_coyote.html . This one-owner guitar is in excellent condition Sometimes a guitar really transforms as Alembic makes it, inheriting the attributes of the symbols they embellish it with, becoming more than the sum of its parts. It's not something you can design or even do on purpose. The process itself shapes the work, and the result can be, well, just magical. How can we not start with the coyote medallion inlay? It's a little piece of original artwork that Susan Wickersham created with a good old-fashioned pencil. It features a coyote, lighting, and a little nod to New Riders of the Purple Sage with the cactus and the forms of the clouds. The pencil sketch is then digitized by Mica to create the fine line art that James uses to handcut each piece. The coyote is inlaid in agoya shell with a pink ivory wood lined mouth howling up to a mother of pearl moon through black Tahitian mother of pearl clouds. The desert is a synthetic tortoise shell. The mesas rising up are in both red and orange spiny oyster. The cactus is abalone and the lightning bolt is sterling silver. The whole show is wrapped in a tidy ring of sterling silver. Alembic's Quilted Maple is always beautiful, and of course Coyote's top laminate is gorgeous. What is especially interesting about this figuring on this guitar is the small, fluid-like "quilts" that just melt around each other. An all-over vintage amber tint gives a golden glow to the naturally lovely wood, and also looks great over the inlaid medallion, like a relic from a forgotten time. The front of the peghead looks black at first, but closer inspection reveals the typical grain of Ebony. The bevelled the front edge of the peghead to reveal the interior veneers of Maple and Purpleheart. A lone coyote paw print is the first fret position inlay. Mother of pearl makes up most of the inlay, with tiny sterling silver claws. The Alembic logo is sterling silver inlaid under the finish with mother of pearl and abalone. Fingerboard inlays are in abalone in the style of Ludwig banjos. Lovely symmetrical designs, hinting at the botanical. "Tumbleweed" is a good description of the shapes! On a custom guitar, it's hard to resist the allure of continuous wood backplates. Not only are they nice to your back (lighter weight than the standard brass), but they are also nice to your eyes. They are just too pretty! Each plate position is plotted carefully and expertly cut on a scroll saw and used to construct the plates. Playability is everything you could ask for: light weight and great balance. Strap up, plug in and let the coyote roam and see where she takes you! Specs: 5A Quilted Ample top Flame Maple back Purpleheart body core Maple and Purpleheart accent laminates Abalone Ludwig-style fingerboard inlay Custom "Desert Coyote" medalion Coyote paw print in MOP and sterling sliver Vintage Amber tint Side LED's Inlaid silver Alembic logo w/pearl and abalone Continuous wood backplates Further Electronics with chrome finish Replaced brass knobs

Fender American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster Maple Fingerboard Butterscotch Blonde
$2,569.99The Fender® American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone. Just one year after launching the Broadcaster®, Fender received a cease-and-desist telegram from the Fred Gretsch Mfg. Co. and was faced with renaming its flagship electric guitar. Taking inspiration from the booming growth and expansive reach of television, the first blackguard Telecaster rolled off the line in 1951, and the model has been in continuous production ever since. Deceptively simple and totally groundbreaking, the Telecaster® brought the solid body electric guitar to the masses, inspiring countless musicians along the way. The American Vintage II 1951 Telecaster features an ash body finished in Butterscotch Blonde to capture the tone and look of the original. The substantial '51 "U"-shaped hard rock maple neck plays like a dream with a 7.25" radius fingerboard and vintage tall frets. Characteristic of production in 1951, 12 th fret face-dot spacing is narrow and the sole Phillips-head fastener on the guitar is at the truss rod nut.

During the late '50s and early '60s, the popularity of Fender musical instruments flourished, and although the Fender assortment had expanded to include many great new instruments, the Stratocaster® reigned supreme.

With its alluring curves, sparkling sounds and groundbreaking tremolo bridge, Fender’s new 1954 Stratocaster® was a phenomenon, unlike anything the world had ever seen. By 1957, the Stratocaster had crystallized into a mid-century masterpiece. Featuring a trio of Pure Vintage '57 Stratocaster pickups, sweeping body contours and a supremely comfortable “V”-shape neck with a 7.25” radius maple fingerboard, the American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original. Other appointments include a vintage-accurate synchronized tremolo with cold rolled steel block and bent steel saddles, single-line “Fender Deluxe” tuners and a single-ply pickguard. Offered in three stunning nitrocellulose lacquer finishes – 2-Color Sunburst and Sea Foam Green over alder and Vintage Blonde over ash – the American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster celebrates a true icon of Fender instrument design. The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.

However, they do require amplification through guitar amps to produce a louder sound. For the actual technique of playing guitar Berklee is a great resource.
What is the history of electric guitars?
The Inception of Electric Guitars: A Brief History The invention of electric guitars dates back to the 1930s, when guitar players needed louder instruments to keep up with larger bands and eventually rock and roll. Electric guitars work on the principle of magnetism, where a magnetic pickup detects the vibration of the metal strings and converts it into an electric signal that is amplified through a guitar amplifier.
Iconic Electric Guitar Designs from the 1950s and 1960s The history of electric guitars took off in the 1950s with the introduction of iconic models from brands like Leo Fender and Gibson. The popular Fender Telecaster was one of the earliest electric guitar designs and featured a solid maple neck and two pickups. The Fender Stratocaster, introduced later, had a contoured body and three single coil pickups. The Gibson Les Paul, another classic design, featured humbucking pickups and a solid mahogany body and neck, making it a favorite for driving amplifiers into distortion in rock and roll and later, metal. These iconic designs, the Les Paul, Telecaster, and Stratocaster, remain popular to this day and are replicated by numerous brands with their own twists on headstock design, color options, and pickups.

How do I find my unique sound on the electric guitar?
Finding Your Sound and Choosing Your Tone Start by exploring the music of your favorite artists to find the right electric guitar for your style. Pay attention to the style of guitar they play and the pedals and amplifiers they use, as these are key to their signature sound.
What is the difference between Solidbody electric guitars and ones that are chambered or hollow?
Solidbody vs. Chambered Body Guitars Solid body guitars, such as the Stratocaster and Telecaster, are made from solid chunks of wood and have little acoustic tone. Les Pauls can also be solid, but sometimes, guitarists prefer chambered body guitars to reduce weight during long gigs or extended playing. Chambered body guitars have pockets of wood removed from inside the body, such as the Thin-line telecaster, which features a visible chambered body.
