This is the first guitar Gene Baker built in 2017... and that's not the only reason this Phoenix V is truly special!
Gene Baker, former Master Builder at the Gibson and Fender Custom Shops, has moved his b3 Guitars from California to the brand new, state of the art, Roscoe Guitars workshop in North Carolina. Once again, he is making his SL, Phoenix, and Ring Master models by hand, with top quality materials, and true to his designs. This Phoenix V is the absolute best example of the model we've every played.
The Phoenix is a combination of many classic guitar design elements that result in a unique and wonderful instrument. Fundamentally, this is a 25.5" scale, neck thru solid-body guitar with string thru body and angled headstock, all of which accentuate energy transfer and resonance. The look and the feel of the Phoenix is inspired by the best features of the Tele, Firebird, Strat, and Les Paul.
The Phoenix can be ordered with a wide variety of electronics and bridges. This Phoenix V has Mean Gene's original design of two Lollar mini humbuckers and a Tele singlecoil on a 5-way switch with master volume and tone. Each of the two humbuckers can be split by pulling up on the tone control giving you NINE tonal variations! This balanced combination is mated with a full-size and extra mass Tele 3-barrel bridge for pronounced sonic character.
The V designation indicates this guitar is upgraded with creme bound neck and deluxe trapezoid fret markers. This guitar also has a clean (i.e. not aged), full body and neck TV Yellow finish that is super thin and beautifully translucent with a well matched tortoise shell pickguard. The most striking element of this guitar is its premium Korina body and neck.

The Echopark DT Standard Series is here! To kickoff the move from Los Angeles to Detroit, Gabriel Currie has developed this new line of guitars and has made them exclusively available through a select group of authorized dealers. Distortion Brothers goes way back with Echopark Guitars and we are stoked to be part of this new evolution.
Echopark now makes two series of guitars. The DT Series, which is the acronym for Detroit, is made with a Working Musician's budget in mind. The DT Series employs a choice selection of the same quality components used in the Handcrafted Series.
This Echocaster is serial number DT-002 and it has a few, well-suited custom appointments. Its 1-piece Alder body is finished in Sonic Blue, it has amp-style knobs, and it is nicely custom aged. Gabriel Currie made some last-minute changes to make this Echocaster come alive: a Strat-style pickup in the neck and a white pickguard. In two of the photos below, you can see it with its original Tele-style pickup and black pickguard.
Gabriel also signed the back of this guitar's headstock. This Echocaster comes with a hard-shell case and a signed certificate of authenticity. It is ready to rock and roll!

This is a custom ordered Fender Custom Shop 1959 Esquire Custom Relic. How's that for custom? This guitar is used but in immaculate condition with all of the extras and case candy.
It is #61 of a Limited Edition built for Fender's 2018 Summer Event. This Esquire Custom has an Ash body is finished in Super Faded Aged Lake Placid Blue. It also has Parchment binding on top and back.
The neck is a constructed of a gnarly, quarter-sawn AA Flame Maple. It is topped with a Flat Lam of dark Rosewood fretboard and dotted with vintage Clay markers. The necks feels substantial yet comfortable and plays easily with its Large "C" profile, 9.5" radius, and 6105 frets.
Making this single-pickup guitar more versatile is its Full Throttle Esquire wiring. The 3-way switch gives you the common Telecaster Volume + Tone sound, the classic Esquire Tone bypass, and a killer hardwired to output boost. Backing off the Volume and Tone a bit and grinding through the gears gives you a rockin' palette of tones!
Would you prefer a double-pickup Telecaster Custom? The Fender Custom Shop thoughtfully included a Hand-wired Tele neck pickup, a Control Plate with post-1967 standard Telecaster wiring, and a 1-ply Parchment pickguard with a neck route. The Custom Shop also included:

"When I started my own custom guitar shop in 2006, the first guitar I designed and released was the P-1. A 14” bout, single-cutaway body with a humbucker in the neck and a T-style pickup in the bridge. It was my take on a customized guitar that I had played for many, many years. A few years later, I decided that the 14” bout was a bit large for most people and, as much as I liked the humbucker in the neck, I thought a P-90 would match the T-style bridge pickup a bit better. So I decided it was time that original P-1 evolved. Since this guitar was the offspring of my first design, I thought it should be named after my first born, my son, Adam John. Thus the “AJ” was named and became a wonderful addition to my guitar family." - John Page
The AJ was designed by John Page and then produced to his exacting standards in a state of the art workshop in Japan. It was then set up in the US by authorized John Page Classic techs.

The Columbia Reverb, Deltone Reverb, and Evertone Reverb amps constitute Louis Electric's Black Line series and emulate the beautiful sounds of the pre-CBS Blackface amplifiers. The Columbia Reverb amp is a single 12" combo with a standard tube compliment of two 6V6's for 18 watts or the option of two 6L6's for 28 watts. It is a single-channel amp with two inputs.
The Columbia Reverb was based on the 1964 Princeton Reverb's AA1164 circuit. The tremolo circuit was slightly modified for a deeper and richer sound. The reverb circuit has also been modified to deliver a smoother, less intense reverb sound.
The original Princeton Reverb had volume, treble and bass controls. Louis Electric has added a middle control knob to give the Columbia Reverb additional tone shaping capabilities. Additionally, the Columbia Reverb utilizes a 12" speaker instead of the standard 10" found in the Princeton Reverb. This is a common modification made to enhance those essential lower-mid frequencies.
Also setting the Columbia Reverb apart is a 4k/8k speaker load option. This allows the player to simply switch the load to provide a cleaner or more distorted sound. The 4k option provides cleaner tones, while the 8k will lower the wattage and provide quicker midrange break up.
Distortion Brothers offers the Columbia Reverb with the standard pair of 6V6 power tubes resulting in 18 watts or the optional pair of 6L6 power tubes for 28 watts of output power. This custom option is no additional cost.

This project was inspired by Doug Myer's personal 1958 Gibson Les Paul Junior. It is an exceptionally fine example of an LP Junior in terms or raw tone and comfortable playability. From that example, Potvin Guitars made the first small batch of Project 58's, which were finished to look as new. These guitars were very well received and continued to be cherished by their owners.
Realizing that the guitars could be made closer to the original specification and desiring a more worn in look, Protocaster Guitars was enlisted to finish the guitars in a gently aged fashion. This small batch was limited to just four and this Project 58's serial number is "8 1902".
I was first impressed with this guitar's well-loved and well-played vintage look. I was then blown away by the feel of the substantial yet totally comfortable neck. Once I heard its long sustain and lively tone, I knew was a very special guitar. It has all the mojo of the few remaining, stellar examples of late-50's Juniors.
