# 95 PEAVEY USA IMPACT





#95 - Peavey USA Impact circa 1997. A beautifully made neckthru Peavey Impact. 2 Humbuckers, 5 way switch, 1 volume/ 1 tone. Original hard case. Bound neck. This was an incredible guitar. Great finish. Great sustain. I paid a whopping $100 bucks for this. Most of the ones floating around there today are bolt ons. If you find a neckthru. SNATCH IT UP! ---> "STAY TUNED"

#96 - ca. 1984 Kramer USA Baretta - Single Humbucker








GUITAR #96 - ca. '84-'86 - KRAMER USA Baretta.

Mid 80's American made in NJ. This is THE GUITAR Eddie Van Halen Made famous. It has the tilt back angled headstock. The original Floyd Rose trem.. However this was modified with a Killer EMG. Great balance and looks. It came with the original hardshell case. I paid $300 in a second hand store for it in 2006.

The Ultimate Experience






On a great day May of 2005, I had the opportunity to meet the ultimate rhythm section, Double Trouble. Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton of the legendary band, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, was in town playing with Kenny Wayne Shepherd. What a day!

#97 - ca. 60's KAY








#97 - ca. 60's Kay electric archtop Blues style. A real fun guitar to play. Made sometime in the 60's I believe. All original. I paid $150 in 2005 for this one from a second hand music store. Probably made in Japan or USA. The guitar was in fantastic condition and came with original case. Gotta love the blues! "STAY TUNED!"

#98 - Fender Telecaster 90's Custom




#98 - 1996 Fender Telecaster 90's Custom.

A 1996 50th Anniversary Fender Telecaster 90's Custom. This guitar was purchased by me in 2004 in mint condition for $325. I bought it off of eBay. This guitar was a high quality guitar that was "Made in Japan" as apposed to being "Crafted in Japan" of late. Double bound body, gold hardware and pearloid pickguard make this baby absoultey stunning. I was lucky enough to find a guitar strap that matched perfectly! Great quality, great price, great tone. What else can you ask for? "STAY TUNED!"

#99 - 1984 Fender Stratocaster "2 knob"



#99 - 1984 Fender Stratocaster "2 knob". This was produced in the USA during the mid 80's. The "E3.." serial numbers where guitars produced actually from 1984-1987 during a transitional era. Notice the tremolo. There is no rear route on this guitar and it originally came with just 1 volume and 1 tone knob instead of the traditional 1 volume, 2 tone knobs. Some have called this a "Smith Strat" but it is more known as a "2 knob Strat". The Smith Strat has a different headstock.

This guitar I purchased in 2003 from a second hand shop for a mere $300. These guitars are great values and have incredible tones. Don't let the oddball feature scare you away from this one. I have actually owned 3 different 2 knob Strats in my time and have thoroughly enjoyed them all! "STAY TUNED!"

What is 99 Guitars?

Here I'll show you "99 guitars" at any given time on a rotating basis. These are guitars that I have personally owned (except these two tasty morsals. These belong to George Lynch! This was a great photo op though!). Each will have a brief summary of the guitar's make, model, approximate year, country of origin and price paid for. Most of these guitars where purchased through various newspapers, second hand stores, trades or eBay. Some will be rare, some will be cheap, but all will be genuine!
