054 is a Stop Tail piece equipped, right handed guitar finished in sunset
glow. It also appears to have a white pickguard, (Actually
it's just the protective paper on the black pickguard)
Thanks to Gitfiddler for registering his guitar with the MCR!
Here's what he has to say:
I've been playing guitar for 40 years (started
while still in the womb!) and as a kid, played professionally. Now
I'm just a middle-aged guitar freak who loves to play and collect high
quality guitars such as my JA54. For my
style of playing (funk, jazz, R&B), this is the perfect guitar.
I first fell in love with the Johnny A guitar after seeing it on the
Gibson Custom Shop, learned more about it on the Les Paul Forum, then
found my baby at The Music Zoo. Set mine up with 11's and it is a badd mutha...with so much class!
Peace!"
After falling for
stoptail 54, I had to have a Bigsby model too. Steve Mesple of
Wildwood Guitars had a special run of Antique Natural and Quilt tops and I
fell in love all over again! 110 is one killer gitfiddle! I
absolutely love the incredible sonic range of the guitar It goes from
mellow jazz to screaming rock at the flip of a switch and twist of a
knob. No other guitar I've played has its versatility and punch. My only
regret is that I did not own this great axe when I produced my last CD
project, (Lady C. "This Lady Sings!"
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/ladyc ). The
guitar
would have eliminated all but the acoustic guitars in the studio.
