A heavily relic'd olympic white finish with an aged mint 3-ply pickguard? Count us in! This is one good looking NoNeck Strat, the shades of aged white in the pickguard and finish look great against the dark color of the rosewood fretboard, and the major buckle rash on the back of the body looks super authentic.
The Stratocaster® is an icon. A legend. It's one of the most played and most playable instruments ever made. We love a vintage Strat at The Music Zoo. But one of our favorite neck shapes ever to come on a Fender® guitar came not on the Stratocaster®, but on the '51 Nocaster®. As far as we're concerned, Leo Fender hit it out of the park on his first swing. Fender's first solidbody guitar had a neck shape that can only be described as colossal. We liked the Fender® Custom Shop's reissue of the '51 Nocaster (and that huge neck) so much that we had to have it on a Strat. Call us selfish, but we got what we wanted, and now you can have it too. The Nocaster-Neck Stratocaster. The NoNeck.
It's no wonder that Leo Fender hit a home run in 1951; many guitarists have noted that the neck felt like a baseball bat. It is super round, a big fat "D" shape that has very little taper from end-to-end. The NoNeck looks like a '60 Stratocaster® but has the amazing feel of an original Nocaster. We can't tell you how many times people who are accustomed to a skinny "fast" neck have picked up a NoNeck Stratocaster®, smiled, and said it was the most comfortable neck they've ever played. But it's not just the neck shape that makes these guitars special, we have rolled some of our favorite guitar specs into the NoNeck as well. A relatively flatter than vintage 9.5" fingerboard radius and big 6105 medium jumbo frets make bends and fast fretwork easy peasy. The pickups are consistent with a '60 Stratocaster®, but with a twist in the middle pickup: it's reverse wound, flipping the polarity so when the 5-way pickup selector is in one of the "in-between" positions (which we love) the usual pickup hum is gone. Essential if you crank it up and play with overdrive.

Introducing the Rhoads 1.5 from the Jackson Custom Shop. This short-wing, all maple guitar is the creation of Music Zoo owner Tommy Colletti and Jackson Masterbuilder Mike Shannon. Replicating the 25th Anniversary Rhoads identically is off-limits, so Tommy and Mike made a few subtle "Randy-style" changes to the model to create the 1.5. This one features a black finish, vintage trem, Seymour Duncan Distortion & Jazz humbuckers, and a vintage logo on the headstock. The slim neck profile and 6230 fret wire help make it one incredible playing instrument.

Looking to add some exotic flavor to your music? We at The Music Zoo came across this funky instrument at this years NAMM show and had to spread the word. The Godin Inuk is an 11 string instrument with 5 pairs of strings tuned in unison with a single low string. It is based off of Godin's MultiOud, which is fretless, but this fretted instrument is easy for guitar players to pick up and play...especially since the tuning is the same as a 6 string guitar.
The Encore model Inuk (that's pronounced ee-nook) is a 23.03″ scale length instrument with a two-chambered Canadian Laurentian Basswood body, a solid Cedar top, a mahogany neck, and a rosewood fretboard and bridge. The fantastically unique sound is amplified with Godin's custom voiced EPM Quantum 1T electronics with an undersaddle transducer. With zero feedback, you can bring this baby on stage and wow an audience with its unconventional presence.

We're very excited to offer the brand new for 2013 Elite Series from ESP LTD. LTD (as well as us here at the Zoo) often heard comments from players that they wanted the high-quality build of the ESP guitars, however many of them were just too far out of their budget - they were also looking for an upgrade from LTD models that were more aimed towards the mid-level or beginning player, essentially there was a need for a guitar that was right below the cost of a super high-end ESP, but without the high-end price tag.
And thus, the LTD Elite Series was born. The Elite models are made in the same Japanese factory and crafted by the same talented luthiers who build every ESP guitar, and are loaded with great player-friendly features such as Seymour Duncan or EMG pickups, fast-playing neck contours, and Gotoh tuners for reliable tuning stability.
The Elite M-II is built to look lean and mean with two EMG 81 humbuckers in the neck and bridge with a sole master volume control to keep things simple. Add in the Floyd Rose bridge and locking nut - and you've got a guitar that's ready for those extreme divebombs and screams without knocking your tuning out of whack.

With an overly stout and painstakingly developed power supply made to accommodate two sets of power tubes, the JRT 9/15 offers the biggest sound in a low wattage amplifier heard to date. Starting from right to left, the single input of the amplifier (high and low sensitivity) feeds the inputs of two 5879 Pentodes, each with its own volume control and blendable. Each is voiced differently: one is brighter with more clean headroom while the other is gainier and thicker in the low mids. Added to this volume is a 6 position switch which offers a "bright cap" selection. The last knob is a high cut for the overall amplifier. The "Mode" toggle provides a selection of either 9+ Watts with 6V6s, or 15+ Watts with EL84s, offering and exceeding the best tones available in some of our favorite late 50's American 6V6 amplifiers, and our favorite EL84/EL34 English amplifiers.

If you're looking for an acoustic that's going to give you a bold strumming tone - look no further than the Taylor 816, a Grand Symphony style acoustic guitar built with Sitka Spruce for the top and Indian Rosewood for the body. Appointments include curly maple binding, ebony bridge pins with abalone dot inlays, and an abalone rosette.

You can't get much more of an iconic guitar than a 1957 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop. This was the first year the world was introduced two humbucking pickups in a solid piece of mahogany with a maple top...and the rest is history. With this limited run of '57 reissues, Gibson has supplied the Zoo with some spectular pieces. The neck is a custom profile that we feel accurately respresents the exact contours of the original. The pickups are slightly underwound Custombuckers that also represent the response and dynamics of a PAF that you might find in an original.
Last year, Gibson came out with a '57 Les Paul customized for Nashville singer/songwriter, Lee Roy Parnell, and people absolutely loved the finish, so Gibson has gone with the exact hue of gold for this instrument. Add in features like a one-piece rosewood fretboard, historically accurate cream binding, Kluson Deluxe tuners, and an ABR-1 bridge, and this piece is gonna take you back to the ORIGINAL humbucker sound!

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but that phrase must have been completely ignored when it comes to the brand new, redesigned Gibson Les Paul Standard 2013. The 2013 Les Paul Standard is still built of those essential Les Paul ingredients of a flamed maple top on a mahogany body, rosewood fretboard, and solid quartersawn mahogany neck, but loaded with lots of new features inside and out to make it a totally new animal.
The 2013 Les Paul features the Assymetrical '60s neck profile, along with a compound fretboard radius that accommodates your rhythm playing down low, and flattens out up top for fast solos and bending. Electronics wise, the guitar is loaded with two Burstbucker Pro humbuckers with coil-tapping via the volume knobs, phase-switching via the neck tone knob, and a new feature called the Pure Bypass setting on the push/pull bridge tone knob which puts the bridge pickup straight through the output and bypassing both volume and tone controls - an instant hot lead tone at the pull of a switch.

At first glance, the Les Paul Axcess looks like the usual Les Paul, albeit with a Floyd Rose tremolo installed, but upon holding it in your hands, you quickly realize that this is a totally new rock and roll monster. The Les Paul Axcess has a slimmer body than a usual Les Paul, with a newly contoured neck heel which makes it feel as if the body and neck are one single piece of wood. The "heel-less" feel makes quick runs up the neck and solos super comfortable, and the addition of a Floyd Rose on a Les Paul opens up a whole new world of divebombs and pinch squeals with classic Les Paul tone.

At the Music Zoo we like to think that "if it ain’t broke, don't fix it." However, we also like to say "if it works, let's make it even better." Owner Tommy Colletti had several meetings at the Jackson Custom Shop with Jackson mastermind Mike Shannon, the man responsible for some of the most famous Jackson guitars of all time (including Randy Rhoads' personal Jackson V's) and discussed how we could take the looks and playability of the classic SL2H even further. We looked at the most-requested player changes to custom orders of the SL2H and have now created the SL2H-V, V for "Vintage."
The brand-new Music Zoo-exclusive SL2H-V has moved the knobs and toggle switch 1" closer to the bridge, giving you way more space for your picking hand to move around without bumping into any controls. It also has a non-recessed Floyd Rose tremolo, giving the guitar both a vintage look as well as giving the body more mass for sustain without having a chunk of wood taken out of the body. The guitar is loaded with an EVH low-friction volume pot, brass control knobs and end pins, and a smaller-sized headstock with a vintage Jackson logo that is identical to the headstock found on the original Rhoads Concorde.
If you think these are small changes that wouldn't make a big difference, we dare you to pick up an SL2H-V for yourself and see how the Zoo has taken a classic Jackson guitar and one-upped it to the next level.

There's nothing like the lean and mean tone of a Les Paul Special, especially with the added vibe of the TV Yellow finish. This pre-owned Gibson Custom Shop '60 Reissue is in excellent condition, with the pick wear pretty much being confined to the guard and pickup covers. Features on this include a mahogany body, rounded 50's neck profile, rosewood fretboard, 24-3/4" scale length, 1.68" nut width, two P-90 pickups with individual volume and tone controls, a wraparound tailpiece, and nickel hardware. Here at the Zoo we especially like the sound of soapbars with a wrap-around bridge; the wraparound gives a nice, round character to the grit and muscle of P-90s. This guitar is a classic staple of rock and roll simplicity.

Here we have a pre-owned, limited edition Taylor Solidbody Quilted Maple electric guitar in excellent condition. This piece only has slight wear on the edges.
We appreciate the guitar's minimalist aesthetic, with the silver volume/tone knobs, an unobtrusive pickup selector, and a bare ebony fretboard with only a "35" inlay on the 12th fret. This simple elegance leaves space for the quilted maple top which has a gorgeous texture that needs to be seen up close to appreciate. Premium features include tropical mahogany back and sides, a sapele neck, chrome-plated Taylor hardware, and two Taylor Style 1 HD humbuckers. The sound is crystal-clear and articulate, with a very even response in both the neck and bridge positions, a sound that is allowing Taylor to carve out it's own spot in the solidbody electric guitar world.

When Gibson released the Explorer in 1958, its radical design was perhaps a little too ahead-of-its-time, and very few of these units were produced. However there was a huge Explorer revival in the 80's, when wild in-your-face guitarists welcomed its edgy aesthetic. Plus the combination of humbuckers with an all mahogany neck and body lends for pure rock power.
The limited run Gibson Custom Shop '58 Reissue Explorer is an accurate recreation of this futuristic piece of mid-century history. Features include a '59 "V" shape neck, a rosewood fingerboard, and a cool VOS Aspen White finish, which has turned to a yellow hue through the antiquing process. Two Custombucker pickups deliver a heavy sound that can be saturated to create amazing sustain. There are not many of these classic reissues, so check one out before it's too late...

The Orange Rockerbverb 50 is an all-tube, straight forward tone machine. Starting with a two stage, non-master volume clean channel, you get a rich clear sound, with plenty of overtones, that will break up into authentic classic British crunch. The second channel features four stages of unadulterated filth. However with the gain knob you have a vast horizon of tones to dial in anything from metal to fusion, rock to blues.
Here we have a pre-owned Rockerverb 50 watt head with a matching Orange PPG 2x12 closed-back cab. The two are in absolutely excellent condition; the tolex is in tip-top shape, and both work perfectly. The Power Projection Cabinet boasts durability and excellent resonance with 13 ply high density 18mm Baltic Birch plywood and unique skid feet that seperate the cab from the stage; a huge benefit to the bass response and overall tonal focus. The 2 Celestion Vintage 30 speakers just ooze classic rock and roll sound.
In addition to this set, you get a road-ready head case to keep everything in protected. The footswitch, power cable, and speaker cable are also included.
