Bernie does it again!

Bernie has come up with what may be his finest guitar design yet! It’s call the Valiant and it’s one thick, meaty, beautiful, deep carved, neck-thru monster of an electric guitar! And BSG has the #3 Valiant!

And ours is done in a deep carved birdseye Redwood top and strips of Redwood matched up with maple for the 5 ply neck!

This is a 24 fret Valiant with an ebony fingerboard, Redwood fingerboard binding, gold hardware including ‘locking’ Grover tuners and a Seymour Duncan ‘59 neck humbucker and JB bridge humbucker. There is also a one-piece TonePros bridge.

This special handmade guitar has a retail pricing of 6495 USD. Call or email me for pricing.

I’m very excited about the direction Bernie is taking Rico Guitars here in 2010 and how he is positioned and pointed toward 2011 and 2012. I’m very proud to be one of the few dealers who market Bernie’s guitars.

By Eric McKenna

When Paul returned to Washburn in the summer of 2006, he began working on a new Signature KISS Stage guitar for himself. This guitar was dubbed the PS800.

The demand for Paul and Washburn to reintroduce the PS2000 in a 10th Anniversary Edition was strong so Paul put the PS800 projects on hold for a bit.

BSG sold the very 1st PS800 guitar and only a handful of PS800 USA Customs were made by Washburn/Chicago.

When I was at Washburn’s Chicago facility a few month ago, I was walking and talking with Custom Shop Director Terry Atkins. I noticed about 6 or so PS800 bodies which were cut and stacked. I bought them…immediately.

I had Terry and his crew finish these guitars in Washburn’s BRIGHT WHITE finish, expertly applied by Chewy.

The 1st of these guitars has arrived into BSG…and it’s stunning!

This piece has been acquired by a BSG Family member. However, we do have a few more coming. Contact me at 412-716-3150 if you would to reserve these last PS800 guitars for 2009.

Thanks so much for all the continued support and for all interest!!

Three more Washburn USA Custom Shop guitars have landed on Boogie Street – straight from our friends at the Chicago Custom shop.

We have a truly special, ‘one off’ Prototype Scott Ian WM540ASI ‘V’ guitar. This guitar is done with a special paint job done by Washburn’s ‘Chewy’. It’s high gloss black with dark gray ’splatter’. Tough to photograph but really nicely done! This guitar is part of Washburn’s HM Series which utilizes Parker Guitar technology on the carbe fiber fingerboard and neck. Quite an instrument.

Next up is just the most amazing N4 we have ever been associated with. BSG commissioned a very limited run of HIGH GLOSS Nuno Bettencourt Padauk N4 guitars. The Bodies are HIGH GLOSS with the necks remaining Satin Finished. We also commissioned this one with a Gold Covered ‘59 neck humbucker just to ‘twist’ it up a bit. Totally custom!

.
.
And last but not least is this beauty. Washburn may currently call this model the WI568…they will ALWAYS be the WI68 to us. The ‘Original’ Idol! The guy that started it all! Simply AMAZING Guitar! This one done in Blue Bust by Washburn’s paint guru and BSG Friend – Chewy! Simply STUNNING!!

.

Well, that is the scoop for today! Feel free to call me at 412-716-3150 or email me at eric@boogiestreet.com for special pricing too low to print!

Thanks for reading!!

Glad to be joined in this HD presented BSG video update by Sir Freddy Kowalo, Steve ‘The Hitman’ Berger and BSG’s Dan Speicher. My best friend, Jim Stuart, was in at BSG early and wanted to take a test drive of the PS7000 which he ended up being REALLY surprised at how good of a guitar it was – minus the neck humbucker which he calls..flat. (well, Jim’s a tone-nut so… can’t please them all!) JS could not stay for the video because he had to get back to ‘running the empire’ as he jokes.

Fred is off the road with Megadeth for a few weeks and has started setting up and inspecting the PS7000 guitars – getting ready for this amazing $750 promo.

‘The Hitman’ is here to lend additional thoughts to this special little Paul Stanley Preacher guitar.

Again, this promo is about a week or so away from launching and BSG will be donating $25 for each PS700 sold to the Alaska Shriners to support their ongoing effort to help children with mobility issues and children suffering from severe burns.

Check out the video!

Check out this guitar. And so quite fitting for Boogie Street Guitars. As we are Washburn’s #1 USA custom shop Idol dealer. (and of course Preacher dealer as well).

This beauty was done by Terry Atkins and his group of professionals in the Washburn USA custom shop in Chicago. It’s based off the older WI80 model. That model was NOT chambered but has a solid body.

This guitar features totally custom appointments including a deep and stunning flamed maple KOA arch body top (cap) as well as plain covered gold Seymour Ducan Pearly Gates humbuckers.

Check out the pictures of this monster. As always, feel free to contact me at eric@boogiestreet.com or by phone at 412.716.3150 if you have interest in this amazing guitar.

I always enjoy when our longtime BSG Family members visit my office. Especially those member who travel and are from different parts of the USA and sometimes different parts of the world. I always think that they will be a bit ‘let down’ when they arrive as our complex is very private – humble – and spartan. Just my office, Freddy K’s area, a shipping area and walls of guitars.

This time I had the pleasure of welcoming in Nick Kahn who on our BoogieBoard Forum is known as ‘ChetUBetcha’. He traveled – in a roundabout way – from his home in Little Rock, AR! Nick is not only a wonderful guy but someone I admire personally. His spirit and determination through some unimaginable difficulties is an inspiration to anyone who has met or knows Nick.

Well – we had a great day relaxing and talking guitars and life in general. We were joined for by my great friend and Pittsburgh BSG Family member, John Fedlock.

And of course, I could not let Nick leave without getting him on camera so I recored a BSG Video Update with Nick’s assistance.

When it comes to Washburn Guitars – Boogie Street is Paul Stanley HQ! Period. End of Story. BSG’s Eric McKenna works directly with Paul on many electric and acoustic projects as well as interfacing with Washburn USA to commission special runs of Paul’s amazing PS2000 and Preacher guitars. Eric took delivery on some special Prototype guitars sent to Paul over the past couple of years. 2 Preachers and 2 PS800 guitars. The PS800s were a KISS stage guitar model that was discontinued as Paul returned to the PS2000. Making the USA PS800 guitar RARE! Then we have the 1st PS9200 Black Preacher – ever. And we have one of the two PS9000 Goldtops presented to Paul. Both were the wrong shade of Gold but were the template of the current PS9000 Preachers. These rare guitars are for sale. Contact Eric at 412-716-3150. These guitars are an important part of KISS history and more importantly, Paul Stanley guitar history. Don’t miss out!
