Richie & Sammy Ash Celebrate Their 40-Year Love Affair With Gibson Guitars My brother Sam and I have been Gibson guitar fanatics for over 40 years. We were lucky enough as small kids to visit the original Gibson guitar factory in Kalamazoo. In the late 1960’s we could be found in our old Hempstead, Long Island store doing all sorts of things with Gibson guitars - selling them, trading them, customizing them, and designing custom models. In fact, back in 1971 when Gibson only made the Les Paul Deluxe with the small humbuckers, we had them make 100 pieces with large humbucking pickups like the ’57 and ’58 models. That version became so popular that they starting making them for everybody as the Les Paul Standard we all know and love today. Back in the old days we would wait until closing and crank them up through Marshall stacks. This was before the Marshalls had master volume controls so we had to play them pretty loud to get the Jimmy Page/Eric Clapton crunchy sound we both loved. The big plate glass windows in the store would shake with every power chord! Sam remembers when everyone wanted DiMarzio pickups and brass hardware on their Gibsons because the pickups Gibson was making back then just did not have enough output or sustain. The tunomatic bridges came with plastic inserts that had to be replaced. Customers wanted the hotter instruments with better tone so we installed the stuff ourselves. We would pick out a decent playing Les Paul and change the pickups, nut, bridge and hardware. I guess these were the first “Hot Rodded” Gibsons. Back then they used to ship Gibsons with heavy-gauge flat-wound strings that nobody could play. We used to restring every guitar that came in with lighter gauge round-wounds until we finally convinced them to ship them with .009s from the factory. The truth is the quality of Gibson guitars in the late seventies and early eighties was pretty bad. They were owned by some big conglomerate that tried to figure out different ways of reducing their cost while they raised the prices. People began to get dissatisfied with the quality of these once legendary instruments. Then in the late eighties, our friend Henry Juszkiewicz, a guitar lover with a Harvard MBA bought the company. Henry knew that guitarists were looking for Gibson to return to the quality of the “golden era” of the late fifties and early sixties. If it weren’t for Henry’s vision and love of the instrument, Gibson would not be what it is today. Today Sam and I still have the same passion for the guitar only we get to exercise it on a much larger scale. We still work with the factories to make guitars that players really want. Dozens of guitars have come to market because of ideas that our guitar-buying team came up with; colors, pickup configurations, woods, and finishes. We make sure that every time you pick up a Gibson – or any other guitar – in one of our stores it is set up and “Gig Ready”. Both of my brothers, Sammy (COO) and David (Co-CEO) are personally involved in virtually every aspect of the Sam Ash business. Sam and I are still active players and big time guitar enthusiasts with over 100 guitars in each of our personal collections. David is the systems, operations, and legal guy. The three of us love going to the stores and talking “guitar” with our sales people and customers. And, of course, we are proud to offer one of the largest selections of new and used Gibsons anywhere. In fact, we are constantly scouring the used guitar universe for unique examples of Gibsons from the 50’s, 60’s 70’s, 80’s and beyond. Our proudest achievement is our sales team, built of knowledgeable guitarists that are passionate about their customers’ pursuit of tone and quality. Please enjoy our first ever Gear Guide Guitar Edition. We hope you have as much fun reading it as we had making it happen. We look forward to seeing you in one our of stores soon – come in and play!

Electric

Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Vintage Original Spec • $3699.99

Seth Lover’s fabled “Patent Applied For” humbucking pickups were added to the Les Paul model in 1957. These dual coil pickups, quieter yet more powerful than the single coil P-90s that preceded them, combined with the ABR-1 to create a guitar with unprecedented sustain and tone. The 1957 Goldtop Historic Reissue is equipped with BurstBuckers to faithfully replicate the warm, vocal quality and rich harmonic content of the legendary originals. Features: Solid mahogany body with carved maple top/single ply cream binding; 1-piece mahogany neck with long tenon; 22 fret rosewood fingerboard; 2 humbuckers; ABR-1 adjustable bridge with lightweight aluminum stoptail. Includes case, certificate of authenticity, and care kit. GLPR7VAGN • List: $5174.00

Gibson Custom SG Standard Vintage Original Spec • $3099.99

Featuring an ultra thin, two-horned body, the SG Series addressed two of what Ted McCarty saw as the major issues of the now-retired Les Paul body style: weight and limited access to the upper treble register. The new body shape of the SG Standard was dramatically lighter than the old Les Paul, and offered access to the entire fretboard. Features: solid mahogany body; 1-piece mahogany neck with long tenon, 22 fret ebony fingerboard; Burstbucker 1 (neck) and 2 (bridge) pickups; ABR-1 bridge with aluminum stoptail; nickel hardware. Includes case, certificate of authenticity, and care kit. GSGSRVFCN • List: $4421.00

Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom • $3899.99

The Custom Shop is proud to welcome the Les Paul Custom to its product line. The Les Paul Custom of the 1950s featured multi-layered binding and gold-plated hardware and was the top model in the original Les Paul line. The new Custom will receive all the meticulous handwork you’re used to from the Custom Shop, but will not feature any of the historically accurate appointments found on Historic Collection Black Beautys. Features: weight relieved mahogany body with carved maple top; 1-piece mahogany neck; 22 fret ebony fingerboard; 490 Alnico (neck) and 498 Alnico (bridge) humbucking pickups; Nashville TOM bridge with stoptail; tulip tuners. Includes case, certificate of authenticity, and care kit. GLPCEBGH1 • List: $5504.00

Gibson Custom 1959 Les Paul Vintage Original Spec • $5699.99

The only major change to the Les Paul Standard in 1959 was the addition of wider, fatter “jumbo” frets, which facilitated more dramatic bends. The real force of this change was not felt until the late 1960s, when rock and blues players like Eric Clapton, Mike Bloomfield, and Peter Green began to discover the fat, warm voice of the ‘59 Standard. This moment in history marked the beginning of the idealization of the ‘59 Les Paul as the Holy Grail of guitars in the minds of professionals, collectors, and weekend warriors. Features: solid mahogany body with carved figured maple top; 1-piece mahogany neck with long tenon; 22 fret rosewood fingerboard; Burstbucker 1 (neck) and 2 (bridge) humbucker pickups; ABR-1 bridge with aluminum stoptail; nickel hardware. Includes case, certificate of authenticity, and care kit. GLPR9VITN Iced Tea • List: $8033.00

Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Vintage Original Spec • $3699.99

In an effort to jump start the steadily declining sales of the Les Paul Model, Gibson abandoned the familiar gold finish and used a translucent, cherry sunburst finish which showed off the figured maple tops that were often used on Les Pauls. The renamed Les Paul Standard made it’s debut in 1958. Features: solid mahogany body with carved plain maple top; 1-piece mahogany neck with long tenon; 22 fret rosewood fingerboard; Burstbucker 1 (neck) and 2 (bridge) humbucker pickups; ABR-1 adjustable bridge with aluminum stoptail; nickel hardware. Includes case, certificate of authenticity, and care kit.

With its solid Maple center block, arched top, f-holes and chambered wings, the ES-335 (introduced in 1958) gave the player the resonance of a solidboldy and the refined looks of a traditional Gibson archtop with the reduced weight of a thinline. In mid-1962, the ES-335 was changed to include the thinner neck profile that was standard for Gibson in the 60’s as well as small block inlays on the fingerboard. Features include a mahogany neck, Kluson ‘Green Keys’ machined w/ Press-in Bushings, rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets and a pair of nickel Buckburster Pro pickups. Includes case.

The SG Standard comes loaded with a 490R humbucker in the neck position and a 498T in the bridge position. The 490R has a similar tone to that of a ‘57 Classic but with a slight boost in the upper mids. The 498T, also known as the Hot Alnico, has a specially wound coil combination along with a hotter Alnico V magnet making this the perfect rock pickup. It delivers a higher output with emphasis on mids and highs. The SG’s bound mahogany neck is mated to a silky rosewood fingerboard and features pearl Trapezoid inlays. Includes case.

Dimarzio DP213 PAF Joe Satriani • $74.99

The most important thing about the vintage Patent Applied For pickup was its warm, smooth tone and sustain that was unlike anything heard before.

Dimarzio DP136 Supernatural Plus Acoustic Pickup $74.99

The PAF Joe a neck pickup that DiMarzio developed for Joe Satriani. Joe wanted a neck position humbucker that combines the best qualities of the DiMarzio PAF Pro with those of a late ‘50s Gibson humbucker. Joe described this tone as being “tubular”. Through the use of Virtual Vintage technology, clear-sounding low frequencies are blended with warmsounding mids and high frequencies, which makes the PAF Joe equally good for chords and single notes. It was first used by Joe throughout the 2003 G3 tour. Color: Black

It’s a perfect choice as a rhythm pickup in combination with an 81 in the bridge, which is the same pickup combination used by Zakk Wylde. E85 • List: $129.99

EMG EMG60 Active Humbucker $105.00

Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face • $149.99

Hendrix was the master of fuzz — an artist with many subtle shadings at his command. His love affair with the legendary Fuzz Face pedal began in the early days of the Experience and continued to evolve throughout his brief but blazing career. The Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face is a meticulously faithful reproduction of the 1969-70 Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face that Jimi used on classic albums like Band of Gypsys. Dunlop’s engineering department examined hoards of vintage Fuzz Faces, honing in on a few units which possessed that unmistakable Jimi voodoo.The Hendrix Fuzz Face is built around the toneful BC108 silicon transistor. It is authentic in every detail, down to it’s hand-wired circuit board! DJHF1XXXX • List: $257.49

Dunlop JH1B Jimi Hendrix Signature Wah • $129.99

The Jimi Hendrix Signature Wah reproduces his timbres, and more, with startling accuracy. Throaty and expressive, it will fire your imagination. The vintage classic look is 100% authentic too, with a flashy chrome top and sleek black Italian crinkle finish aluminum body. From its eye-catching look to its mind-bending sound, everything about this wah just screams Hendrix.

Dunlop JHOC1 Jimi Hendrix Octavia • $169.99

Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octavio is an exact clone of the amazing “octave up” pedal that Jimi used to make rock history. It’s all here: every knob and jack, a DPDT on/off switch, and the exact same circuit layout faithfully copied from the original “breadboard,” front-panel controls which let you dial in just the right amount of fuzz and adjust overall level. Own a little piece of Jimi — the Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Octavio. DJHOC1XXX • List: $257.49

Radial Tonebone Classic Tube Drive $199.99

Dunlop MXR M169 Carbon Copy Analog Delay • $149.99

The MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay features a completely analog audio path for the ultimate in rich, warm delay— made possible only by old-school bucket brigade technology. This design boasts an amazing 600ms of delay time with optional modulation via a top-mounted switch and a simple, three-knob layout that controls Delay time, Mix (dry/wet blend), and Regen (delay repeats)—all in a pedal no bigger than a Phase 90. In addition, two internal trim pots offer user-adjustable width and rate control of the modulation for even more tonal options. The Carbon Copy will take you from crisp “bathroom” slap echoes to epic, Gilmour-esque delays with a twist of a knob. DM169XXXX • List: $254.61

With three drive settings and a variable drive control, you can dial in everything from dirt to drastic and everywhere in between. The Classic’s design is based on vintage overdrive sounds that started in the 1960’s and 1970’s and today remain some of the most sought after tones. The Classic is exceptionally dynamic and transparent and as such, is extremely adept at retaining your playing style and signature. Even at high distortion settings, you can turn your guitar level down and the Classic cleans up naturally and without the noise, hum or buzz that is common with most other pedals. At higher settings, every note remains distinct and the natural tone of the instrument shines through. RTBCLASSX • List: $275.00

MXR 74 Vintage Phase 90 • $119.99

Our in-house workhorse, purchased in 1974 by Dunlop Senior Engineer Bob Cedro, was meticulously spec’d and recreated as the ‘74 Vintage Phase 90. The hand-wired board features select resistors paired with hand-matched FETs to achieve the same smooth and warm modulation as the original. The ‘74 Vintage Phase 90 comes housed in the classic orange finished box and is adorned with the unmistakable Script logo. Available only from the MXR Custom Shop. MCSP026XX • List: $216.60

Keeley Electronics Fuzz Head • $209.99

This might be what you’ve been looking for in an overdrive/fuzz box! The blend between the two is simply wonderful! The Fuzz Head is designed to work like Fuzz Face pedals that many players use as a LEAD BOOST. A Fuzz Face can be muddy, lacking note definition, too bassy, and lacking sustain. An overdrive sometimes doesn’t give enough or is too smooth. In contrast, our design is transparent, has a better frequency response, and gives you that cutting edge for lead breaks.

FPROAFXRV • List: $389.95

Fishman AFX Acoustic Chorus • $219.99

Eight presets include 3 choruses, stereo and mono tremolos, flanger, phaser and rotary speaker. All of the effects share a Tone control that tailors highs and lows, and a Speed control which works as a slow/fast switch for the rotary speaker. FPROAFXCH • List: $389.95
