Another artistic masterpiece from James at The Painted Player, representing Paul’s Sgt. Pepper painted Rickenbacker. The basis for this one is an old Teisco bass, not really playable at all,Continue readingTeisco Sgt. Pepper Bass
Vintage J160E Psycho
Another work of art from James at The Painted Player, John Lennon’s J160E after he decided to paint it psychedelic style. Maybe not the most accurate guitar, but the artworkContinue readingVintage J160E Psycho
Rickenbacker 4001S “McCartney” Bass
Right handed, so not totally accurate, but this one comes signed by Sir Paul on the back! Because of the signature and its position, I don’t play this bass much…
Rickenbacker 360/12C63
This is a 360 that has squared edges like a 330. George Harrison had one, and this is a reproduction of the model that he used. Very nice guitar.
Rickenbacker 325VC59/6

Rickenbacker 325VC59/12
12 string version as used by John Lennon. The necks on these short scale 325’s are so thin that playing them is a bit of a challenge, even for someoneContinue readingRickenbacker 325VC59/12
Rickenbacker 1996 (325 Rose Morris)
1996 is the model designation, not the year of manufacture. A 325, short scale Rick, with the most lethal vibrato lever tip imaginable – it is a spike!
The Painted Player Fool SG
Eric Clapton had an SG like this, painted by The Fool. This was recreated by James at The Painted Player.
The Painted Player Apple Boutique 335
Hand painted by James, I have purchased several of his early masterpieces. This is a 335 style guitar with images from the Apple Store in London. Works of art really.Continue readingThe Painted Player Apple Boutique 335
Martin CF M3M “George Martin”
Beatles again, George gets his own Signature guitar. Nice touches with the 5 inlay (fifth Beatle) on the fifth fret, with an M inlay on the back and headstock. VeryContinue readingMartin CF M3M “George Martin”
