The Original Mr Scary Now Available
George Lynch's first "Mr Scary" that he got from
Kramer when he endorsed Kramer !!
This guitar has a checkered history
!!!!
Originally this guitar was a "J Frog Body" with a Godin Neck
assembled by Kramer.
(Kramer never made necks or bodies they outsourced
them & assembled them in Neptune NJ)
When George sold his allegiance to ESP in the late 80's,
ESP destroyed this classic guitar by putting an Asian made ESP neck on it.
The body of this guitar is an original "J Frog" model with the shallow
forearm cut.
Many people call George's Skull N' Bones the "Mr Scary" (That is
totally incorrect)
The Skull n Bones was always a "J Frog" from day one.
ESP had to pay &25,000.00 restitution to "J Frog" for making
low quality copies of the Skull N Bones
Today the only place to buy a real Skull N' Bones is from
"J Frog Guitars"

The Real Baby Snakes Story
"Wowie Zowie"
When I was 18, some friends & I went to see, and
meet in person Frank Zappa !!!
One of the people I was with was Bart Nagel, who had custom crafted
a guitar. When he was done it was gorgeous. We walked around to the
back of the Celebrity theater and knocked on the door.
We were first greeted by a rather large bodyguard, soon stepped
out a small framed, good looking Frank Zappa. He opened the case,
looked down the neck of the guitar, played it a little, and said "What
do you want for it"?
This
is that guitar, being held by the man himself. He bought it for
$600.00 ! He then said "Let's Take A Walk" And he
walked with us around the building and through the front doors of
the theater. At 18 that was a real cool thing. :-)
I met Frank again some years later at a breakfast meeting. He had
that same huge bodyguard with him.
Frank wanted a Bloody Mary. Couldn't sell alcohol in Arizona before
noon back then. (He settled for a virgin one). He was such a polite,
and despite what most people think because of his crazy lyrics, very
normal guy. An amazing musician.
STUPID me, met the man twice...NEVER ONCE asked him for his
autograph! DAMN!!!!
Bart told me he has this picture...autographed! ! Lucky
Bart...
Dweezil now owns the guitar and shows it on a video & mentions Frank
got it from "some guy in Phoenix"
Debe
This Is Not A Gibson Guitar, Notice it has 24
Frets !!!!
We Are Offering Replicas of Frank's Famous "Baby Snake's Guitar Call
if you would like to buy one.

Jackson Warrior Model
Ok,
lots of people used Jackson's, but you rarely see this model
or the
which looks a little like the Warrior. There Is No
Reason For Us To Make "The Warrior" After All Jackson Still
Offers It. If & When They Ever Decide To Discontinue
It Will Be There To Replicate It.
This guitar has perfect balance and I love the paint job.
Currently I don't own a Jackson guitar, This would be the
one that I would buy.
Ooops sorry, I own a Zoraxe Jackson, & several Randy
Rhoads Models, But they are not for playing, Just
collecting.
Discontinued Jackson
Guitars
Sometimes I get calls for discontinued Jackson Guitars.
Models like the , The Demon, Many Different Explorer & V Shapes
& many others that weren't even named.
Copyright problems
I will custom only build you a replica as long as
Jackson or their parent company Fender has no objections.
We construct all of our neck thru replicas out of the finest
materials and no expense will be spared to create you the
finest guitar that money can buy.
Pricing
Our prices are going to be lower than a
custom shop Jackson, Jackson standard model prices are
priced quite fairly. However our Custom Made Guitar prices
will be only slightly higher than the standard production
Jackson's
Quality
We fully guarantee our quality to be as good or better than
any custom shop. Our Luthiers & Woodworkers include
Alumni from Jackson USA, BC Rich USA, Carl Thompson USA,
Ibanez USA, Baker USA. Hamer USA, & Bolin USA Gibson &
Fender
Our painters include Mike Learn, Dan Lawrence, Shawn
Ortiz, Mark
Wilson, Also many of the original Dean, BC Rich,
Jackson painters.

This
Is The Only Guitar That Dimebag Actually Designed For Himself Before
He Was Tragically Murdered.
Washburn Made One Run Of Imported
Models !! Dimebag Signed Back On With Dean Guitars When Dean
Zelinsky Rejoined The Company.
Less Than 2 Months Later Dimebag Was Gone !!!!
Dean Guitars Went On To Produce So Many Different Cheaply Made
Imported Dimebag Guitars That People Got Disgusted &
Eventually Stopped Buying Them.
Dean Went Corporate & Started Selling Through Guitar Center.
What A Shame !!!!!
Inspected The Original High Quality Guitar & Has Now
Recreated It Using Neck Thru Construction & Real Floyd Rose
Tremolos. The Quality Is Second To None. Contact If
You Want To Recreate The Ultimate Tribute To Dimebag . |
This is
only intended to be a joke, But keep in mind these
numbers are true.
Doctors vs. Gun
Owners
Doctors
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000
(seven hundred thousand)
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are
120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human
Services.
Now think about this:
Guns
(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 84,000,000.
(Yes, that's 84 million)
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all
age groups, averages 1,387
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is
.000188. Statistics courtesy of FBI
So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,300 times
more dangerous than gun owners.
Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'
FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN,
BUT
Almost everyone has at least one doctor.
This means you are over 900 times more likely to be
killed by a doctor as a gun owner!!!
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.
We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!
Out of concern for the public at large, I withheld the
statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause
people to panic and seek medical attention! |
