Washburn prototype for the cross run by boogie street. The only one with no cross at the 1st fret. Only quilt top. Built like a tank, super dense and heavy build. Total one-off. Bought it from a collector in Europe who was tight with washburn and boogie street over 15 years ago. I also had two usa crosses, and this one smoked them hard. Sometime magic happens even on an import.

Killer guitars.

I'm making two posts: first is a Corey James Liberty I built 22 years ago.

chevron flame korina on back, koa on top that I bought in Kauai 24 years ago, snakewood board (which I'll never do again), 24.75 scale
my wife took a photo of a dolphin while we were there, I carved it into a volute:

2nd post:

According to Suhr there are 5 of these in existence, plus one that John built for himself sometime prior to the special order that guitar center nashville put in.

It reminded me of one of my prototypes that I stripped for parts, so I picked it up on reverb last month.
Odd 11-14" compound radius, a fairly large V neck, Aldrich in back and an AW in front.
(not quite sure I'm keeping this one yet, it's 10 lbs with a steel tone block and I have 3 V neck Suhr I prefer, we'll see)

Pictured with a prototype I built:

The UV7S (silver dot, far left) is one of less than 100 made (from what I can tell), and there's been a few that were destroyed/parted out.

The others are much less rare, and I recently sold the UV777p. Trying to sell the other two currently.

SJ-200 12 string - rosewood/red spruce. Only two of these out there AFAIK. There's a lot more sitka spruce ones.
