Godin Icon Type 2 Classic

Body - Mahogany
Neck - Mahogany
Fingerboard - Ebony
Pickups - Godin GHN1 & Seymour Duncan ‘59 Humbuckers
Made in Canada
Blurb - Godin is a guitar company from Quebec well known for quietly making superb instruments and offering killer value for money. This baby is no exception, equipped with a Graphtech ResoMax bridge and Godin HD Revoicer it’s quite a versatile guitar with a great tone range. It is lightweight and has a thin neck but most of all, in this price range it’is just vastly superior to your usual Gibson and Fender. Maybe that’s why John McLaughlin has one..

Gibson Explorer Vampire Blood Moon

Body - Swamp Ash
Neck - Mahogany
Fingerboard - Rosewood
Pickups - Gibson Gem Active Open Coil
Made in USA
Blurb - Vampire Blood Moon?! Really? Apart from a silly name and ridiculous price tag, it’s a beautiful explorer loaded with nice hardware. Notice the Schaller vibrato

Fender Jazz Bass Victor Bailey Signature

Body - Koa, Rosewood & Mahogany
Neck - Maple
Fingerboard - Rosewood
Pickups - Fender Samarium Cobalt Special

Blurb - Samarium Cobalt noiseless pickups + a 3-band active preamp tweaked at the input stage. All this adds warmth and low end while creating distinctive voice apparently. Fancy stuff, I’ll take Victor Bailey’s word for it

Fender Showmaster HH QMT
