Hey guys, I’ve got another haul of guitars that I’m looking to trade. I’m primarily looking for guitars and basses, but I also have a serious need for some good studio/recording gear, including a keyboard/midi controller, a good computer (gaming rigs, and high end parts also welcome), something like a Kemper or Axe Fx, maybe some high end decent amps, and Acoustic instruments (acoustic guitar, violin, mandolin, etc.). I’m easy to deal with, so please do not be shy! Message me if you have any ideas whatsoever. Although I’m open to most brands, as far as guitars go, special attention goes to:
Suhr
Anderson
PRS
Fender (serious Tele fever right now - the more Western the better)
Aristides
Strandberg
Mayones
Knaggs
Parker
Jackson/Charvel
ESP (especially USA and Custom Shop)
I have a royal ton of references spanning nearly 10 years on these forums - you’re in the very best of hands. Please send all offers via PM or e-mail: adamofangels@gmail.com

Gibson Burst Bucker Pickups
Late 90's Japanese model - these were pretty popular back in the day. If I'm not mistaken, Tokai built them, and so if you're familiar with Tokai, you'll know what to expect. Great neck, reliable tuning, sounds excellent, etc.. Pickups were swapped out for Gibson Burst Buckers. It may not be 100% mint, but there are no obvious flaws if any kind.

Unlike the current generation of import Bodens, this one was made in Korea, which is by all means a good thing. The original pickups were actives, so while the Instrumentals are a bit wider than plenty of other passive Pickups, there's an obvious size difference compared to actives, which leaves a bit if space in the cavities. Otherwise, there's just some very light and minor signs of wear here and there.

Baswood Body
Roasted Birdseye Maple Neck
Ebony Fretboard
Stainless Steel Frets
Floyd Rose 1000 (Low Profile)
Dimarzio Sonic Ecstacy Pickups
Active Preamp Boost
The JP-16 is the only Music Man Petrucci model with a Floyd Rose (the only one without the patented Music Man JP term, for that matter), and the only JP Anniversary model with any sort of variation in the body carves - the forearm contour is like that of the standard JP model, which makes it more ergonomic. This is a streamlined, no BS workhorse, with loads of versatility, given the active boost and some cool switching options.
If you look closely, you might find the very faintest of imperfections, but it would pass as mint in virtually any shop.

PRS SC-245 Satin - 8/10 condition
Mahogany Body and Neck
Flamed Maple 10-Top
Rosewood Fretboard
Wide-Thin Neck
Satin Nitro Finish
These Satins are somewhat uncommon, perhaps because they're popular and folks are holding onto them. This one has low action and is acoustically loud. Most of its wear is in the form of worming/buckle rash on the back, which actually looks a little worse in person than I was able to capture in the pictures, but from a foot or so away, most of it disappears.

Indian Rosewood Fretboard
Medium C Profile
10” Radius
Duesenberg Neck Pickup
TMG Slider 52 Bridge Pickup
I have no experience with TMG outside of this guitar, but it’s as good as that of any of the other vintage-style American builders I’ve been across. It is what it looks like - a cross between a Jazzmaster and a Tele, though it’s a bit more of a Tele. Unbelievably good tone from this thing - I’ve been a bit obsessed with twangy surf/spaghetti tones lately, and this thing nails it. It also, not surprisingly, works perfectly for blues and even jazz stuff.

Lo-Pro Edge Bridge
Dimarzio Evolution Pickup Set
These were made from 2002 - 2004, with only the 2002 (which is what this is) has the LP-Pro (which is preferable, according to many). You almost never see these pop up for sale anymore, so if you’re a Jem fan, you need this, and if you’re an Ibanez fan, you probably also need this. There’s some very minor signs of wear and aging, but nothing serious. It comes in the old school, red-lined Universe case, which has a broken latch, but is still totally functional.

Caparison Dellinger Prominence - Spectral Red - 9.9/10 condition
Mahogany and Maple Body
Maple Neck
Ebony Fretboard
Schaller Floyd Rose
Caparison SH-N, VS-IA, and PH-R Pickups
This is a very unique guitar, in that it has both a single coil and a mini-humbucker in the neck position, in addition to the humbucker in the bridge. Naturally, you can get a lot of different tones out of this thing. More importantly, it has a perfect neck, and is hard to put down. The color is unique too - it looks trans red in most light, but at certain angles, there's a sort of magenta overlay that shows up, almost like a hologram. I got this guitar brand new from a dealer, checked it out just to make sure everything works, and here it is, at a discount, still new.

Not only is this an exceptionally clean Luke II, which is no longer in production, and fairly difficult to find these days to begin with, but its from a limited run featuring a solid Rosewood Neck. This alone is worth the price of admission. Super versatile guitar - don't let the active pickups scare you.

The Cardinal Red (which is really just a red sparkle, but looks better than my pictures by a long shot) was part of a limited run available only by special order through certain dealers. As good as the best Music Man I've played. Theres one or two super minor and virtually invisible flaws, but is otherwise clean.

This is a full on Custom Shop build from ESP, and will stand shoulder to shoulder with whatever you can think to throw at it. There are a few very minor marks, but overall, its been babied. The color looks way darker in the pictures than it really is - you can easily see the woodgrain in person.

ESP Custom Shop Page Hamilton Horizon - Brushed Silver - 9.5/10 condition
Alder Body
Maple Neck
Ebony Fretboard
Sperzel Locking Tuners
Wilkinson Tremolo
Sustainiac Neck
BKP Aftermath Bridge
Rare as can be, and one of the coolest models ESP has ever produced. It’s essentially just a Horizon with a Wilkinson and a single-cool sized pickup in the neck position. The finish is really stunning - it looks like brushed aluminum, so I’m not sure how they accomplished that exactly, but my pictures do it little justice. As anyone that has played a Custom Shop ESP will tell you, the quality is top of the food chain, so you can’t go wrong. The pickups have been upgraded from Dimarzios to a BKP and a Sustainiac. Conditionwise, there’s some super minor wear that you have to look closely to find, but it’s been well cared for.

BKP Stormy Monday Pickups
PRS Tremolo
PRS’ modern Artist package allows you to customize their core models with a variety of high grade woods and colors not available on the core models otherwise. Several years ago, though, an artist package included higher grade tops, abalone inlays, a higher grade fretboard with matching headstock overlay,, gold hardware, and, arguably, overall better quality. Oh, and a fancy leather hardshell case, which this does indeed come with. This one has been upgraded with a set of BKP pickups, and has a really minor clear coat nick on the top, with maybe some super minor wear that’s evading detection as far as I’m concerned.

Hipshot Bridge
Locking Tuners
This is a late 2018 custom ordered USA M7, and is the updated version with Stainless frets and without the big ESP inlay at the 12th fret. Unbelievable playability, super solid feel all around. I listed it as Mint, but there's a super tiny clearcoat crack in the back pocket that happened in shipping on account of the brutal winter, and there's a slight amount of dirt build up on the fretboard.

For whatever reason, this model is the least photogenic guitar I can think of, but I assure you, it looks amazing in person. Its essentially just a singlecut version of the Regius, which is a good thing, as the Regius is a perfect design in my book. The neck is one of the best 7 string necks I've ever played, its very clear and aggressive in the low end, and has a lot of chime in the mid-highs. Conditionwise, there might be the slightest mark or two somewhere on it, but I can't find anything.

In the same way that their guitars are unexpectedly amazing sounding and perfect players, Aristides’ basses are the be-all-end-all when it comes to roadworthy basses. It won’t go out of tune due to warpage, and is finally clear everywhere across the fretboard. This one in particular is done in a custom ordered color,.

Somewhat of a unique build as far as 594's go - the Swamp Ash body and maple neck add a clarity and attack that these don't usually have, and the Cocobolo Fretboard gives it a bit of a smoother feel. The color is Black Gold, though looks a good bit darker than it usually does.

Easily one of the craziest looking tops I've seen on any guitar, let alone a Mayones. Most people looking at this already know that these guitars are at the top of the food chain, so I won't use flowery language to sell it. Its as nice as it looks. Conditionwise, there's a few things worth mentioning - the most obvious is the tiny chip in the wood on the back bottom side. Otherwise, there's a few very light and minor marks. The last few pictures are of what looks like scratches/lines impressed into the top, but its actually natural striations in the wood, and not an imperfection at all, just to be clear.

Part of a limited run for a major PRS dealer, this is the highest spec'ed 594 you could possibly get without going through the Private Stock shop.

Caparison SH-N, VS-IA, and PH-R Pickups
This is a very unique guitar, in that it has both a single coil and a mini-humbucker in the neck position, in addition to the humbucker in the bridge. Naturally, you can get a lot of different tones out of this thing. More importantly, it has a perfect neck, and is hard to put down. The color is unique too - it looks trans red in most light, but at certain angles, there's a sort of magenta overlay that shows up, almost like a hologram. I got this guitar brand new from a dealer, checked it out just to make sure everything works, and here it is, at a discount, still new.

Not only is this an exceptionally clean Luke II, which is no longer in production, and fairly difficult to find these days to begin with, but its from a limited run featuring a solid Rosewood Neck. This alone is worth the price of admission. Super versatile guitar - don't let the active pickups scare you.

The Cardinal Red (which is really just a red sparkle, but looks better than my pictures by a long shot) was part of a limited run available only by special order through certain dealers. As good as the best Music Man I've played. Theres one or two super minor and virtually invisible flaws, but is otherwise clean.

This is a full on Custom Shop build from ESP, and will stand shoulder to shoulder with whatever you can think to throw at it. There are a few very minor marks, but overall, its been babied. The color looks way darker in the pictures than it really is - you can easily see the woodgrain in person.

Wilkinson Tremolo

BKP Aftermath Bridge
Rare as can be, and one of the coolest models ESP has ever produced. It’s essentially just a Horizon with a Wilkinson and a single-cool sized pickup in the neck position. The finish is really stunning - it looks like brushed aluminum, so I’m not sure how they accomplished that exactly, but my pictures do it little justice. As anyone that has played a Custom Shop ESP will tell you, the quality is top of the food chain, so you can’t go wrong. The pickups have been upgraded from Dimarzios to a BKP and a Sustainiac. Conditionwise, there’s some super minor wear that you have to look closely to find, but it’s been well cared for.

PRS’ modern Artist package allows you to customize their core models with a variety of high grade woods and colors not available on the core models otherwise. Several years ago, though, an artist package included higher grade tops, abalone inlays, a higher grade fretboard with matching headstock overlay,, gold hardware, and, arguably, overall better quality. Oh, and a fancy leather hardshell case, which this does indeed come with. This one has been upgraded with a set of BKP pickups, and has a really minor clear coat nick on the top, with maybe some super minor wear that’s evading detection as far as I’m concerned.

This is a late 2018 custom ordered USA M7, and is the updated version with Stainless frets and without the big ESP inlay at the 12th fret. Unbelievable playability, super solid feel all around. I listed it as Mint, but there's a super tiny clearcoat crack in the back pocket that happened in shipping on account of the brutal winter, and there's a slight amount of dirt build up on the fretboard.

For whatever reason, this model is the least photogenic guitar I can think of, but I assure you, it looks amazing in person. Its essentially just a singlecut version of the Regius, which is a good thing, as the Regius is a perfect design in my book. The neck is one of the best 7 string necks I've ever played, its very clear and aggressive in the low end, and has a lot of chime in the mid-highs. Conditionwise, there might be the slightest mark or two somewhere on it, but I can't find anything.

In the same way that their guitars are unexpectedly amazing sounding and perfect players, Aristides’ basses are the be-all-end-all when it comes to roadworthy basses. It won’t go out of tune due to warpage, and is finally clear everywhere across the fretboard. This one in particular is done in a custom ordered color,.

The color of this guitar is rather unique, and very difficult to capture. Its sort of like a very faded denim, but with a slight greenish hue reminiscent of water. The neck has a super intense flame, and it plays immensely well. If there are any flaws at all, they're so minor that I can't find them.

The previous owner put PRS pickups in it, which is somehow an usual choice, but they're fantastic pickups so it works very well.

Somewhat of a unique build as far as 594's go - the Swamp Ash body and maple neck add a clarity and attack that these don't usually have, and the Cocobolo Fretboard gives it a bit of a smoother feel. The color is Black Gold, though looks a good bit darker than it usually does.

Easily one of the craziest looking tops I've seen on any guitar, let alone a Mayones. Most people looking at this already know that these guitars are at the top of the food chain, so I won't use flowery language to sell it. Its as nice as it looks. Conditionwise, there's a few things worth mentioning - the most obvious is the tiny chip in the wood on the back bottom side. Otherwise, there's a few very light and minor marks. The last few pictures are of what looks like scratches/lines impressed into the top, but its actually natural striations in the wood, and not an imperfection at all, just to be clear.

Part of a limited run for a major PRS dealer, this is the highest spec'ed 594 you could possibly get without going through the Private Stock shop.
