*John DeGay 12-string acoustic, 2010, UK, Heart shaped soundhole,
John did some work for/with Tony ZEMAITIS, and made his own guitars as well,
East Indian Rosewood back & sides, Spruce top, 25 1/2" scale,
1 15/16" at the nut, 17" at the lower bout and 4" deep,
pearl dots around the sound hole,
hearts and diamond inlays in the Ebony board, Maple binding,

vgc+, hsc........$3250
*DAVE of ENGLAND Queen of Hearts Acoustic, recent, Before he died,
Tony Zemaitis wanted to have the tradition of British handmade
guitars passed down, so he gave all of his jigs and fixtures
to Dave Brewis. Dave had 'Rock Star Guitars' in the UK - he knew
all of the guys in the UK bands of the '60s and '70s and sold
their guitars and memorabilia - Beatles, Stones, Who, T-Rex,
AC/DC, etc. Dave had Kevin Parsons make all of the electrics and
acoustics bearing the 'Dave of England' moniker. Not sure how many
electrics he made, but he made very few acoustics - we're guessing
about 20 to 25. Dhani Harrison is playing a Dave of England guitar
in the "Concert for George" film, and Ronnie Wood had several Dave
of England acoustics, and Townshend was having a uke made while
he was doing the Queen of Hearts Series (plan was to do five, but
there are only three - one went to Russia and one went to another
collector, and there's this one - each very slightly different).
They kept it kinda quiet that they did this as Tony had licensed
his name to Japan, where all of the 'Zemaitis' guitars were produced
after he died. Most of the Dave of England guitars were sold to
noted UK guitarists. When we (Paul Schmidt- author of the D'Angelico book)
Kevin and Dave) made the Queen of Hearts Series, he had the badges
on the headpiece specially-engraved (by Danny O'Brien - the guy who
did Tony's guitars), and the top inlay, like the purfling, is actual
silver (Kevin said it as a pain in the ass and he'd never do it
again - looks cool though) rosette is abalone as are the two lines
running the length of the fingerboard. It originally had Grover
Imperials, but now has these great handmade tuners from Croatia,
two repaired cracks on the bottom rim, and there's wear below
the pickguard (just finish wear and reapplication and wear).
It's got an interior label signed by Tony Zemaitis in 2000 (he signed a
number of them then - died in 2002), as well as a special "Queen of Hearts"
label signed Paul, and another label signed by Kevin, Hiscox hard case

A 423 page tour-de-force that explores the
fascinating design world of the musical instruments produced by the Dopyera
Brothers from 1923 to 1993. Famous for their 'National' guitars, they went
on to pioneer electric pickups, fiberglass construction, amplifiers etc, and
influenced the sound of Country Music, Bluegrass, Blues and Hawaiian music
through most of the 20th Century.
Entirely and lavishly illustrated with over 1100 musical instruments and
amplifiers and more than 100 artists who used them - this is THE
DEFINITIVE COLLECTION of all the various developments, designs, colours
and engraving patterns of everything produced by the Dopyera Brothers
in their various companies throughout the 20th century - National, Dobro,
Supro, Valco, Mosrite, Regal and OMI. It has them ALL! It also features lap steels, amplifiers
and various National and Valco manufactured items for other Trade houses.
The book is concluded with an updated list of the serial numbers of known
and re-discovered instruments - now in excess of 4200. A MUST HAVE for

Before After .....
We often get asked "where do these guitars come from" ??? or "who buys these things" ??
So here's an interesting picture of the quite rare White ES-345 (that we had for sale for about a year)
with both it's original ( c. 1964), and current (April'06) owners.
-------------------------o-------------------------
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE VIEWING THESE PHOTOS, SEE BELOW
Some have complained about bad pictures. If this is happening to you or your PC, let me know. We have Macs
and the pictures are large and clear, so we'd like to know figure out why this problem is happening
An answer from my brother Rick-
By default, Internet Explorer will shrink pictures to fit onto one screen.
That's probably what people are complaining about. Usually, if they hold the
cursor over the picture for a few seconds, a button will appear and they can
click it to restore the pic to full size. I hate the feature, so I just turn
it off and always see the photos full-size:
From the IE menu bar, click Tools | Internet Options
Click the Advanced tab
Scroll down to the Multimedia section
Remove the check from "Enable Automatic Image Resizing"
Click OK to save settings
REPAIRS
For you who don't know, we do all manner of guitar repair and restoration. We do most of it here but
also give some work to Dom Ramos -repairing and building since working in Dan Armstrong's shop in
the '60s. We've also been a Martin Warrantee Center since 1985 before Martin closed down all 5 NJ Centers
because of a tax dispute between NJ and Martin
COMMENTARY-
DON'T SCROLL DOWN - Feelings below
Political sentiments
Turn back before it's too late!
A friend wrote this. I take no credit, but it's food for thought.
"I'm not asking anyone to take my side, or the side of Israel, but I am asking you to think critically about the news you get from CNN and the BBC and AlJazeera or whatever station you watch
If we were colonizers, we would be actively planning wars, and TAKING land, not giving it away for PEACE. ( SINAI, Lebanon, Gaza strip...all relinquished, after being won, fairly, in a war, which we did not start. And yet still given away, in the promise of PEACE, which we have not gotten in return)
If we were committing genocide, then the population of Gaza and the West Bank would not have GROWN since 1967, but rather gotten smaller..no? Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank 1967: less than 1 million. Arabs in those areas today: 5 million)
That is not GENOCIDE! You cannot have 500% population growth in a genocide.
The definition of genocide is:
" The deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group"
Does it look like we've destroyed anyone or are aiming to?
Point of fact, we do not engage unless engaged with. And even then, our engagements are military, warnings in advance to clear the area and no civilian engagement whenever possible.
Which brings me to the next part:
War Crimes. Do you see in Israel rocket launchers on residential streets, missiles hidden under hospitals and schools (yes, even UNWRA schools got in on the deal)? Do you see 5 year old martyrs with hand grenades, and children trained with automatic weapons, and calls to behead all arabs, wherever we can find them? No, you do not.
That is what our army faces against daily. And our CIVILIAN population is faced with daily, hourly....the WAR CRIMES of HAMAS and the Palestinian Authority.
If we wanted to flatten all of Gaza and turn it into a parking lot, we have the weapon power to do it in 3 minutes. Why in the world do you think we haven't? After 10,000's of rockets and missiles have been fired indiscriminately at our cities and schools and homes, after Israelis have been killed and maimed and attacked....the reason is because we value HUMAN LIFE. Because we are trying to save the lives of the people of Gaza and the West Bank. We introduced water and power infrastructure to their villages. Before Israel, they had none.
Next, the claims that Gaza is an open air prison, or a death camp etc. Ask yourself, how poor Gaza, that the BBC and NYT likes to claim is cut off from the world, and has no access to supplies...can import or import the materials to make thousands of rockets and missiles and rocket launchers --but can't import food, or medicine? Ask yourself where all of the cement and supplies to build schools and hospitals went...when instead there are hundreds of miles of cement and steel reinforced underground terror tunnels built every year.
Finally, ask yourself how the leaders and government of poor Gaza have enough money to have a Billionaires Gaza Yacht Club with multi-million dollar yachts, and facilities, luxurious 5 star hotels, shopping malls filled with Gucci and Chanel and Polo shirts -- while their people literally starve and beg for help.
And that is the main point. Israel does not govern GAZA. Israel is not in GAZA. Israel does not control GAZA. Gaza controls GAZA. So whatever the War Crime is for shelling your own population (430 rockets fired from Gaza at Israel have actually fallen within Gaza hurting and killing their own people), for putting rockets and missiles under their homes, for stealing their food and international aid -- you should know who to blame. The same Gazan leadership the Free Palestine movement funds and supports.
And now, think again critically about this situation. Do you honestly think that "Free-ing Palestine", and turning Israel over to these same folks that currently run GAZA or Ramallah so well is the solution to anything? Will provide more food or medicine or opportunity or freedom to ANYONE? Free Palestine hangs gay men from the tops of buildings and drags their bodies through the streets. Free Palestine supports honor killings of young women who have been raped or abused or shamed. Free Palestine calls for the elimination of all Jews. Free Palestine is in reality, nothing more than a thuggish, brutal, facist military regime, dressed up like a woke, liberal western project with nice slogans and catchy protest tunes.
Like with most things, just follow the money and see what Free Palestine is really all about before lending your voice or your funds or support.
Again, you don't have to wave an Israeli flag from your flagpole, but if you care about justice, real justice, and peace, freedom and security, think critically about the information you receive and then ask yourself what rings true."
