.. i was incredibly lucky to live in and around NYC from 1966 to 1974 .. the music scene was incredible and i saw everybody .. mike bloomfield .. eric clapton .. keith richards .. mick taylor .. joe walsh .. jimmy page .. peter green .. tommy bolin .. martin barre .. jeff beck .. stephen stills .. billy gibbons .. duane allman .. i saw all the great BURST players .. i was a total fiend for the 1959 BURST sound .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. my first shop in LA was 'image guitars' from 1978 to 1982 .. i built custom guitars for many famous musicians .. then i opened 'MAX Guitars' which was even more successful .. i built guitars for EDDIE VAN HALEN .. SLASH .. THE EDGE .. LENNY KRAVITZ .. ZAKK WYLDE .. TOM PETTY .. NIKKI SIXX and many others .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. i gained immense notoriety for my replicas of vintage guitars .. especially after SLASH bought one of my 'BURSTS' and used it (and the Derrig) on 'Appetite for Destruction' and the 'Welcome to the Jungle' video .. .. .. .. .. (happy now?) .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. i have recently built a limited set of 9 guitars (five are already sold) which are guaranteed to give a true 1959 BURST sound, especially if real 50's PAFs are put in them .. they are made from the same batch of 50 year old woods that i used to build my famous replicas .. since it's almost impossible to find or even afford one of my replicas, this is a great alternative ..
