Re: jake e lee whitey model
Another gem beauty-treasure Jake E. Lee's Whitey-ESP (or could be an Charvel) guitar...'I sincerely hope it's in a good place & ownership. That's a really cool looking Classic guitar. As is the B/W Charvel-Jackson Classic guitars that were made for JAKE E. LEE for all his Rebel master playing in OZZY's band and his own BADLANDS & WICKED ALLIANCE and his Solo projects. All the guitar instruments JAKE jammed on are solid and he truelly put his all into the music when hitted the stage and in the recording Studio. "A Fine Pink Mist" that's a pretty cool looking Sci-fi ESP green guitar Mr. Lee used on his debut Solo project...'JAKE trailblazed on that album, too!!!

Re: jake e lee whitey model
Its a good copy. It's got the bullet truss rod and the hardware look right. The neck has a 4 bolt neck joint and Jake's has a 3 bolt joint. ( Just like a 74 should) Cool guitar though. Would have liked the site more if I could read Japanese.

Re: jake e lee whitey model
What people don't know about the "whitey" guitar is that it was originally Clapton's "blackie", and what people don't know about blackie is that blackie is not a Fender, but a Hohner Stimson Deluxe. Originally, it featured an Opal licensed Bigsby knockoff whammy, but this was replaced with an authentic fender bridge when Clapton endorsed Fenders in the early 70s. Eventually this guitar was sold to a roadie with The Little River Band who eventually sold it to a local San Diego music store which then sold it to Jake. By this point blackie had been modified with a woodblock to fill in the trem spring slot and a hard tail brass bridge. It also had been sanded down for a wood finish, and had a mirror pickguard made from the rear view mirror array of a Mack truck. But then blackie, now called Sandy, would be further modified in the years to come by Charvel in San Dimas by Phil S. Preston, Esq and T. Theodor Logan, Sr. Whitey was further modified by Rufus, a man from the future with an odd resemblance to a famous 20th century comic, and is believe to have time-altering properties due to it's pickup array of SDS-1s and a Duncan JB. One of these properties being that any music made on it would be timeless. Today whitey resides at the Smithsonian Rock and Roll Institute in the year 2584, in Cleavland, Ohio.

Re: jake e lee whitey model
Hello raker, I have usually been an outside person; bicycle making, likely up the windsurfing, going up the, etc. I keep in thoughts decades ago, my older season in additional school, generating my motorcycle and seeing the plenty of smoking builds up by the decreases at the quit illumination. The perspective created me fed up. After a conversation with a other car owner, I determined that I would not be resulting in the pollution on the part of the roads. Really, what is the difference between a smoking butt and a 50 qt. bag of trash? SIZE! Since that period, I have to say that I can't keep in thoughts throwing my smoking develops on the ground and creating them for someone else to clean up.raker wrote:does anybody no what happened to jake's original whitey guitar or know where it ended up ?(this country or far east ) And does anybody know how many charvel jake custom models there maybe out there .
