Friday Strat BEST OF - Fender Japan Zebrawood
Originally Featured Nov. '08 - Friday Strat #103
From the archives of www.guitarsjapan.com, you're looking at a Fender Japan 2002 RI of 1968's very limited Zebrawood Strat run. Love the bound body, front and back! And is that a Jazzmaster neck?
You'd have to accessorize your wardrobe to play this one. I'd recommend a tan suede jacket with the long fringes, Saigon mirror shades, straw cowboy hat and Neil Young sideburns. Include a cream tolex Dual Showman with a bottle of Wild Turkey sitting on top, and you're there.

Nash S-57 Louisiana Roadhouse Boat Neck
NEW... Well, You Know
This is one of the nastiest Nashrelic guitars I've seen, since those nitro fire survivors Bill did a few years back. The S-57 Louisiana Roadhouse looks like a flood recovery that survived cuz it was dipped in the fry-o-lator just before the levee, it bust open. Yeah, the case candy should include an order of fried okra!
The ash body, 3-tone nitro finish is loaded with custom Lollars. Neck is a boat, soft "V", meaning it's super fat. And what will this guitar look like in 50 years? Maybe gator tail jerky. But imagine how it will sound!
Seller: Nick's Guitar Emporium
aka Bend Guitar Den, Oregon based dealer with good feedback & lots of hi-end listings.
So how many re-frets would a vintage have at this point?
Whatchu gonna did wit dat neck Boudreaux? I GUARANTEE!

LSL Saticoy Strat-type - "KENDRA"
Serious Guitar!
Meet Kendra, a 6.8 lb swamp ash dream in vintage cream. That's what they call this finish which resembles Fender's trans-blonde Mary Kaye and EJ models. It's nitro as well. SoCal based LSL Instruments gives each guitar build a female name, hence "Kendra".
Bodies, necks and even pickguards are handmade and shaped by LSL, who also wind their own pickups. The S-type model name is "Saticoy", Tele profile is the "T-bone" and they make a Carl Verheyen signature S-type called the "CV Special". Top players are raving about LSL guitars which price point very reasonably at the low side of Fender CS pricing, and a fraction of a DeTemple or D'Pergo. Verheyen's endorsement says it all.
Kendra comes with a 7.25" radius, 21 fret "C", sportin' 6105 frets. The hardware is aged. A G&G case is included.

Dunlop's Eric Johnson Fuzz Face - Dijon?
Could This Be the Best One???
Who knows? But since we dig Eric Johnson, I'm sure this Fuzz Face will be the master of all models. Just introduced at Winter NAMM 2012, the EJ FF is dialed in to sound like Eric's favorite vintage ones. This is the 4th FF model from the folks at Dunlop. Here's the current selection:
RED - Regular, standard, basic, etc. "Pass the ketchup!"
BLUE - Hendrix model. Sounds just exactly like Jimi... Purple would be smarter.
COPPER - Joe Bonamassa. Bling! Brasso polish not included.
DIJON - Eric Johnson. Mustard for your tone!
Does anyone think this will keep going like all the Crybaby pedals? How many different Crybaby models does Dunlop have now? I'm still waiting for the Yoko Ono Wah.
PLEASE! NO CAMO FUZZ FACE!!!
I think a great little boutique niche could be painting celeb caricatures on Fuzz Face pedals. Imagine the face of Steve Buscemi, Chef Gordon Ramsey, Joe Pesci or Samuel L. Jackson adapted to a FF pedal! The tough part is finding the artist to do it. But then again, there's one at every carnival, fair and trade show. Just remember that you read it here first!

NAMM 2012 Gear & PEOPLE TOO!
ENGL Retro Tube 100 - Guitarist: Doug Rappoport
You'd think that Guitar World, who uploaded this video, might be just a slight bit interested in the musician. But apparently not-- as there are no credits, captions or tags including the identity of the guitarist.
Check this clip's first 40 seconds, then skip ahead to 03:20 - 05:40. It will become very clear that Doug Rappoport isn't an ENGL shipping & receiving drone brought to NAMM simply because his playing sucks less than the rest of the staff. And just maybe, someone at GW could perceive this enough to plug the musician here. I dunno-- is it just me or WTF?!!
But enough rant already. Know that Rappoport is a busy LA session player, 10 year veteran with Edgar Winter's band and an instructor at Musician's Institute. He also has a cool solo release titled, BIONIC. But mostly, Doug is a badass guitar player worth knowing about! So check the links!
