DeArmond Jet Star...blues me or lose me! Si Senor!



Billy G's, and my very own custom picks make a muy bien accessory!




Another 6 six-string shooter to add to the gallery. Lord have mercy! This guitar could be the best guitar I've ever slide my fingers down...a mid- 90's DeArmond Jet Star in the flavour of black. I got the best of the deal I do believe! This retro throwback is out of date...out of print, and oh-so UFO. Big like a Rig and bad like a truck...me and her are gonna tear into some 50's Bo Diddley UP!.....tone as warm and sweet as speckled pup...hot and spicy with and a side order of 'avo's' should do the trick! Enjoy...

Barato...Bajo...y Malo!






Here's another beauty I rescued from being tossed out or forgotten. I took it home, waxed it up, found some skateboard stickers I had lying around and now....LA GUITARRA ES HERMOSISIMO!! I also did some research on the 'net, and found out the guitar was made by a company called Des Lauriers. They started production in the late '70's...the model number of this guitar is serial No.79 So I'm guessing she was made approx 1979. Sweet...matches the Firebird in my driveway! I didn't even know if she worked...so after her facelift I put her though some Jimmy Reed...needless to say...'Dust my Broom' never sounded so good from my fingers! Adios Amigos...
