Being rural NC born and raised, I always found the "Southern Rock" to be a bit misappropriated. Skynyrd (and its spin-offs), the Outlaws, Black Oak Arkansas, and to some degree, MTB all had some fundamental similarities. Others labeled as "Souhern Rock" sound to me like other genres. ABB was more blues rock and jazz/jam band rock. .38 Special was a straight rock band. Molly and Blackfoot were redneck hard rock. ARS was bluesy jazz rock. As for the Mace sound, I think it fit Skynyrd's later sound quite well. Lots of power tube overtones.

Got it off of eBay, if I recall. It was a standard model. I foolishly sold it as it had the modern (thinner) neck. At the time, I was getting hand cramps, so the thin-necked guitars all had to go. Figured out later the cramping was due to the statins that us old farts all seem to end up on. Taking a low dose of B12 once a week fixes that... The guitar was incredible. Very articulate. I put a pair of underwound Lollars into it that were perfect. I'm sure i put the originals back into it before selling. Edit to add - regarding the burst, in the late 90's, that seemed to be standard fade for a 59 burst. Very subtle, which I like a lot.

That shot of the back... everything I love in a piece of mahogany. That's just beautiful! Great find!

Holy shit, that's about as close to my dream CO Artist as you could get! What a great burst! Was that a CO, or limited run?

Have you measured the string spacing?.. that would be the most important consideration in replacing the bridge saddles... have you contacted wilkinson?

Nice playing for sure! GLWTS

So many cool details on that guitar. GLWTS

I’ve never had an issue with the Wilky trem on my Daytona but have wondered what I’d do if I needed to replace the bridge pieces. I noticed this hardtail bridge on Reverb. https://reverb.com/item/36789289-wilkinson-hardtail-stratocaster-vintage-through-body-bridge The seller is in the UK so It would be a bit more than $30 to the US. I’m thinking about grabbing one as a backup. Comments?

I honestly don't know the official name of the model and have to go by the description by the seller, OLP-DC. Sometimes these small Japanese shops will make a one off model based on a customer's request, and this may be something like that as I haven't seen another one like it. I have seen a few older Provision Les Paul replicas, but nothing recent or like anything on their website.

Great guitar. Somebody is going to get a good deal on this one.

Fantastic looking guitar. That would be an alternative for me, if I ever was to buy a new guitar again. Now that Hamer is no longer around. What is the name of that model? I could not find it on their web site.

Please tell me you are doing a Trower tribute! Ill play bass & sing

nice playing!

When a guitar in an ice cold van gets opened in a warm bar... it's checking!

I bought this from another HFCer a few years back; came to me with a pair of Mojotone ’56 Quiet Coil P-90s. Near mint condition; some light dings in the finish on the back of the neck, but nothing I've ever noticed while playing. Grover tuners with Ebony buttons. I bought a pair of TV Jones Classics in the P90 form-factor to experiment with; currently, the guitar has the TV in the bridge and the Mojotone in the neck, but I can include the extra two pickups and/or swap in the combination of your choice. The guitar rocks. The only reason I'm selling now is I've acquired a pair of the exact same guitar in its 3-pickup version (re-wired so I can still get the neck+bridge combo on a 6-way toggle). Hence, this guitar is now redundant for me. I'm thinking $2k seems fair in today's market. An extra pair of either pickup goes for ~$300 new, and the TV neck pickup hasn't even been taken out of the box. I'll deliver it to you personally within a reasonable distance of New Haven, CT (i.e., between here and NYC), or ship it for $100. Here's a demo with the current setup: And here it is in action last year, with both Mojotone ’56 Quiet Coils: And here's a demo with the current setup:

Like an elegant tuxedo…. that rocks.

Already spoken for and sent on its way.

Something about a Black body, cream binding & gold hardware that just typifies elegance. GLWTS

Thanks, Jim. Appx. $4.16/set. Oy, such a deal!

Wait!! We’re supposed to play these beautiful things AND get good at it? 🤩😈😁👍🏁
