Steve Stevens collector here

[Monkey Man]

Do you know if Steve Stevens is aware of your collection?

I'll bet he is. OP has probably spoken to him.

 

[Monkey Man]

OK, looks like the OP already posted 9 minutes before I said that.

I see I was right.

 

[njshred]

Thought I’d give this a bump.

 

[CrystalSky]

Several pieces were purchased from him and we speak a few times a year.

Living a fan’s dream I guess

I am so happy for you man!

Here is a pic of my Washburn Steve Stevens guitar. I recently had it hot rodded. Re-did all the wiring, pots, jack, installed a fatter Floyd Rose block, EVH D-Tuna, & a Jalen 'Fair Warning' pickup in the bridge. The neck has a Duncan Jazz.

Those monsters series were already gone when I tried to purchase mine. They were extremely limited in supply. When I bought mine they were down to 4 guitars I believe. I bought it & didn't even get to change the strings when it sadly stolen from me.
Years later, one of the other guitar teachers where I worked saw one in a pawn shop & he bought it & gifted it to me. THat's the one I just had hot rodded.

There are supposedly about 22 Frankensteins, the highest # I’ve personally seen was 14.

The Famous Monsters is a replica by Dan Lawrence, the original was destroyed and gifted to a friend of Steve’s.

Very cool. In 2008, I bought my 1997 heritage cherry burst sparkletop les Paul with the ebony fretboard and non-chambered body, that must have been from the same run his was from, when he used it back in the mid to late 2000s. I saw him in that GW video with the Bare Knuckle Mules in it and I was super inspired. I have only seen a couple of others in that exact spec since then.

Ironically, mine has a smaller 1.65 nut width rather than the 1 11/16th; I always wondered if the others did too.

I've got a Washburn SS40 (the import version) I'd part with if you wanted to come get it I don't really like shipping.

That's what I have now, the one in the pic I posted. I had an SS80, but it was stolen. LIke I said one of the other teachers where I taught saw that SS 40 and bought it & gave it to me. Last week I had it hot rodded. It kicks ass & screams now.

Do you have any rayguns? Wish he would do a limited release.

Hello

I collect Steve Stevens items and would be interested in discussing any guitars, amps or other SS stuff you might be willing to part with.

Hello,
I recently found this one at a pawn shop in Arkansas. Apparently it had been pawned over 20 years ago. I don't think it even had a string change. Besides being dirty it is mint. It is one of a kind, the only red one. It was on display at NAMM 94 and sold to a dealer. According to Greg Farris of Washburn and Hamer, this was one of the “x-80”, which were re-labeled ss-80s. Greg is also the one who built your favorite Hamer, “the picture frame” ss-3.

 

[MattyFillups]

I actually met him and bought this rubber jig too. I love the picture frame ss-3 as well.

There was more than 22 ss-100 guitars but not all were sold. The Frankenstein logo was removed from them. I actually bought two of them unassembled without the logo from a washburn employee. You can see #27 below.
Not sure if you knew but the Famous Monsters was given to Rick Baker (the special effects legend) and it was in his mini museum for a while. You can see it in some of his online content.

I spoke to Steve at length about the Monsters before my build, he filled me in.
