The first cath of the day, this wonderful 1983 SQ-series Japanese made Squier Strat, which I intend to use as a back up for my White one.

My second catch, this fun little epi is an excellent modding platform and I intend on replacing the stock vibrato with a Gotoh (how many times do you come across a Les Paul with a Floyd Rose?) and the stock pickups with Duncans.

and now the ones I didn't buy...

A very beautiful all original lake placid blue Fender Bass VI of the first type, talk about a rare piece.

Speaking of lake placid blue, check out this early seventies tele.

A cool through neck tele-ish guitar with dragon graphics.

And another piece of custom engineering.

A minarek flame top with a flame top (Go figure)

Some cool customs by rebel relic.

And at the other end of the spectrum: here's a cool little Hondo short scale bass. I would have bought it if it weren't for the fact that it's such a POS bass.
