yngwie308 Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 This unused nos mint first ever produced Washburn Steve Stevens signature guitar SS100 #1, painted by airbrush by Steve Driscoll is now available for sale. It is a 1993 of course, please contact me for details, with serious offers only, she is priced at $10K Thanks Dave www.daveonrock.com update it was offered to me privately for $10K, now it's on the bay at $12.5K www.daveonrock.com As far as this being the Washburn Frankenstein SS100 #1, it is the first one in production specs and the first one painted by Steve Driscoll, whom I have communicated with over on the Washburn forum. Steve Stevens himself, the only Washburn I believe him to own is his original SS100 which the graphic is remarkably simillar to the Steve Driscoll painted versions, but appears to be a lighter shade and not the glow in the dark paint, as on the later models. http://cgi.ebay.com/Washburn-1993-Steve-St...id=p3286.c0.m14
yngwie308 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 Plus Steve's has black hardware and the Washburn logo is the earlier script style, with no Steve Stevens lettering or signature. Also I see no numbering or signature by the artist on his version: Here is an SS100 that lives in Thailand and is heavily used: Here from Steve's now taken down slideshow of David Honl photographs of his guitars is the last picture of his SS100 I have ever seen, he hasn't played a Washburn since 1993, he told me: Here is a magazine shot of Steve's SS100 with clever magazine graphics covering most of the guitar details, you can still see the Frankenstein graphics though: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g219/dav...ashburnSS11.jpg Not to denigrate this guitar that Washburn is selling, it certainly is the coolest looking and in unplayed from 1993 condition. All these guitars really should belong to SS himself, but when he left Washburn, they kept everything being bult or that was already completed. So this SS100 is #1 painted by Steve Driscoll in full 'limited' production status. Look for the complete Washburn SS story to come out on my blog/website soon. yngwie308
