My Rock & Roll guitar collection -  VERY Special thanks to Phil Collen (Def Leppard) & Stas, GMW & Jackson Guitars!


Phil's Jackson Chlorine PC1 "X" Tour Used - This guitar was used at almost every show during the Def Leppard "X" tour. It has an AMAZING quilt top, and unlike the production PC1's, this has a KILLER birdseye maple neck & fingerboard (with the signature "2xPhil neck".
RARE GMW Tulipwood guitar. Click the photo to the left for more info.
Schecter Limited Edition 9/11 Acoustic Guitar - Only 125 of these instruments were made by Schecter Guitars and this guitar is hand numbered 104/125. The first 100 were sent as a 'Thank You' to New York City Fire Stations on 9/11/04 and the other 24 went to family and friends - that only left this 1 final guitar. These guitars will NEVER be sold in stores or to anyone. This guitar features a reproduction of the famous photo of the fireman raising the flag from the ruins of the Twin Towers. This hand-painted art was graciously painted Lisa Marano and ALL proceeds went to Saint Judes Hospital.

Jackson Lacewood - This guitar is a solid Lacewood body and neck, birdseye fingerboard, clear Jackson logo and matching headstock. This guitar is amazing, and resembles Phil's "Jackie" guitar almost to a "T".

Jackson Lacewood PC1 "X" Tour Used - I wanted to go for a different type of PC1. So I combined a solid lacewood body, birdseye maple neck and figured quilt maple fingerboard and turned it into a 1 of a kind creation. I really didn't know what kind of potential this guitar had, until I showed it to Phil in New York City (April 12, 2003) and he plugged this bad boy in during sound check. Stan set up the guitar, just like Phil plays all his tour guitars, and played like only he can. Sounds came out of that guitar that I never knew existed. Phil was so impressed with this guitar, he used it for the last 5 songs that night AND he then took it that night on tour with him. This guitars last show was August 2nd in NJ, ending with the song Hysteria. 1 of 2 made.
Jackson Custom Phil Collen Archtop - This is the FIRST EVER "quilt" PC archtop. I took ideas from my PC archtop, Adrenalize Dinky, PC1, string-thru archtop and combined them into a masterpiece with the help of GMW Guitarworks and Jackson Guitars. This guitar features a mahogany body painted green with an organic green quilt maple top, natural body binding, string-thru the body PC archtop construction, green eyeball inlays, matching reverse headstock with an abalone Jackson logo and gold hardware. I took it along with me to the winter NAMM 2002 show in Anaheim.  Phil let me take some great shots of him and before he left, he signed the back in gold paint pen. There is only 1 other like this in existence, so far...
Ovation Guitar - This acoustic was used in 1996 on the Def Leppard 3 Continents In A Day tour, and part of the Canada tour.
