Hi All!!
We are tearing up January of 2013 with energy and new ideas. Our Pro Tools system passed on in December and in exploring the possibilities of repairing it, have come to the conclusion that there are a number of new ways to do things, that are available to us. In this series of podcasts we will be talking about our thoughts and ideas we are having, in discovering the new reallity of recording in the modern world.

Here are some interesting instriments with a great history. The Phantom seemed to have been around the Vox Room since it was new. Being sold and coming back to the store over the years. I aquired it directly from Dick Rossi (Owner of the Vox Room) in 1986. $1200.00. The second guitar is one I had built. It was started by my wonderful freind, Gary Cooper and finished by Jeff Pierson. I call it a Vox-Caster-Special because it has P 100 pickups like a Les Paul Special, Styling and parts from a Tele, and Shaped like a Vox Teardrop. It has a Bixby Vibrato and a Shaller Roller Bridge. $800.00.

Here is a Fine example of a early CBS Vibrolux Reverb that has a Larry Roberts Blackface plate, and correct vintage grill cloth. It has Celestin 10' Speakers and a great playing amp. $2500.00 gene@genethorpeband.com or call 916-532-3091. Gene

57 Fender American Vintage Strat Warmoth Birds Eye Maple Neck - $1200 (Lincoln Ca)


Beautiful American Fender Vintage Stratocaster 57 re issue with a Birds Eye Maple, Warmoth Neck. One of the most popular instruments in history, the Fender Stratocaster guitar is certainly the most imitated electric guitar ever. 1957 the peak of the maple-neck Strat era was a benchmark year for the instrument, which had evolved from early incarnations into an archetype.


I purchased the guitar with a different neck in 2001, I don't think it was very old at the time. The neck I purchased in 2004 ordered by Encore Music in Auburn. It is a Fender Licensed, Warmoth "Boat Neck " style and had it installed by Sonfather guitars in Rocklin. The pick guard was changed to the anodized aluminum before I purchased it. I then replaced the white pickup covers and knobs with cream ones. The guitar is really striking, clean, and without dings or neck wear, it looks new. Call if you have questions!

We will soon be changing to an upgrade in our recording system as our old system has been failing us. Over the last few decades recording has been accessible to anyone who has a musical idea and wants to express it. The unit we like so far is the Digi 003 Rack as we have become used to the 001 I think it will be a sufficient upgrade but still be a tried and proven roadworthy product that there are many experienced users that share info and troubleshooting tips. We will be looking forward to releasing a new tune from this platform. Stay tuned for the next Rooster Studio's update!
