Blue Enuf for Ya? ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
This $100 or less Saga kit axe is still one of my main guitars. Something about the nice neck maybe...

George Boccanfuso's Gear Collection ...by George Boccanfuso
Here are some pictures and information on the gear I've found over the last 10 years or so. This represents a LOT of horsetrading and buying and selling to dig up the dough, but it's been a great trip! Lucky I have an understanding wife!

Guitar Bob Ohsiek's Very Cool Home Built Amps ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
What can we say about Guitar Bob Ohsiek? He's cool, he's talented, and he builds some damn fine guitar amplifiers! They don't just sit on a shelf. He gigs with 'em!


Hagstrom III ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
Some basement must've flooded or something—this had mildew and corrosion. Then someone sprayed clear poly everywhere, including the pickguard....[jeez, why seal in the mold?]

Homemade Relic Job on a P-bass ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
Bass player Mike threw this pile o' Asian parts together this week, then sanded and beat upon the thing to get the 'relic' look.

"How many amps do you need, babe?" "Just one more." The OD Twanger 85 ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
Guitar Bob's New OD Twanger 85! Just when you think he can't possibly outdo himself, Guitar Bob Ohsiek blows your mind! His new OD Twanger 85 is totally rad and uber cool! We wish he was our next-door neighbor!


I Can't Stop Cranking Out Toys Over Here, And I Have To Tell Somebody! ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
Irrepressible Guitar Bob Ohsiek is at it again, cranking out more goodies for us to drool over! This time he's crafted a couple of new amps and a new guiter, all with some very cool and unique treatments!

I bought this Ibanez ST200 guitar from a guy for $150. It has 24 frets with humbucker pickups. Mahogany neck and body. Rosewood fingerboard. Active electronics. It has the original hardcase.

It Is Show Business, After All ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
We've all seen 'em from up front [whether we know it or not!]. Here's a good shot from in back.


Jetson Amp ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
Another low budget combo using scavenged parts and lumber. [I think all I spent was $10 for the handle, $7 for the white piping, and $6 for fabric.]


Kay K-125 Guitar ...by Emma Gunn
We purchased this Kay guitar at a garage sale many years ago. It was out in the grass, propped against a tree.


My '69 Twin Reverb ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
Here's my '69 Twin Reverb [seems I've had several over the years]. These things sure have maximum swat...great for any outdoor gigs.

My Lil Tweed Surfer Rig ...by Tubeswell
This combination puts out about 15W and has the sweetest stand alone reverb unit.

My $60 Harmony Rocket ...by Cerulean Ravenwing
I bought this Harmony Rocket from the original owner for $60. He bought it new in the mid '60s. It's had meticulous care and is in primo condition

My Surfin' Amp ...by Tubeswell
This effort took me about 4 months from scratch and then another 6 months to tweak. Built everything labouriously by hand.


New Pedal Day ...by George Boccanfuso
For the last couple of years I've been messing about with a couple of echo units/pedals..real tape and analog and digital..now mostly use an El Capistan and sometimes a Yamaha Magicstomp loaded with the "Echos From The Past" patches by Charlie Hall.

Nice Amp Idea ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
Someone made a Showman [85 watts] combo w/ two chromedome Weber tens. Leo Fender did this during the Music Man days w/ his higher powered 2-10 combos.


Old Guitar Want-Ads ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
Think maybe he'd take a hunski for the old Tele?

Only a Bargain if I Can Resist Expensive Pickups ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
All week I tried to avoid a CL ad for a $20 Strat. They reposted it and in a weak moment I called and picked it up.


Roland EP-9 Digital Piano ...by Duke
The Roland EP-9 is an excellent, durable, full 88-key piano. Mine has been in use for eighteen years and still works as well as the day it was purchased.


SciFi Amp ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
I answered a want ad for a broken Super Reverb some years back but just missed it. The guy felt bad and let me have this pyramid-shaped Yamaha amp for $25.

Surf Rock Guitar String Sizes ...by Hailey and Us
Need to pick your brains (sorry about the pun), if I may. Does anyone know what size of strings I should buy to get the dark, rich sounds Dick Dale gets?


Tube Amp Sites ...by Tubeswell
I am a confirmed tube amp building junkie. So here's a list of go-to sites for queries about tube amps.


When I Finally Scored a Fender Jazzmaster ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
In the early '90s I was in an Escondido music store when a real derelict looking old guy came in wanting to swap his old JMAS for a Tele. The music store wouldn't go for it so I snagged him aside and told him I would.


Y'gotta Love A Black Tolex Bassman ...by Guitar Bob Ohsiek
Silverface or Blackface. There were several iterations and layout variations over the years, but I've always thought they were just perfect, solid-sounding 50-watt amps.
