Boogie Street's eBay History:  Boogie Street began it's ebay transactions in December of 1998.  Since that time, Boogie Street has grown into one of the largest and by far, the most trusted, worldwide eBay guitar dealers.  Boogie Street's reputation within the eBay guitar community is without peer.  Whether a USA buyer or an international buyer - all Boogie Street customers get 'The Boogie Street Experience'.

About Boogie Street Guitars:  Pittsburgh guitar enthusiast Eric McKenna founded Boogie Street Guitars in late 1998.  Eric's original idea of exclusive on-line marketing coupled with the industry's finest customer service remain intact today. In 2003, Eric entered into an agreement with Washbrurn guitars to help create unique and custom guitars both in the USA and Import genres.  Working closely with Washburn artists such as KISS legend Paul Stanley, Black Label Society guitarist Nick Catanese and Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian to name a few, BSG carved out it's very special niche in the guitar marketplace.  In 2007, Eric welcomed Bernie Rico Jr to the BSG family.  Currently Eric & Bernie are diligently working on Rico Jr custom guitars with truly spectacular & unique specs and stylings.  BSG customers and friends, known as the 'BSG Family', congregate at the BSG forum - The BoogieBoard - and daily share in what is affectionately called 'The Boogie Street Experience'.   In 10 years, BSG has grown from a used and vintage online guitar dealer to one the guitar industry's true success stories. 

About WASHBURN Guitars:  Washburn Guitars is one of America's great guitar companies!  Founded in 1883 in Chicago, Washburn continues to make some of the world's finest electric and acoustic guitars.  Washburn makes exceptional USA and import guitar lines.  In the USA Custom Shop, located in the Chicago suburb of Mundelein, exceptional, handbuilt guitars are crafed every day.  Models such as the Idol, Preacher & N4 guitars are Washburn USA's staples.   But the quality does not yeild with Washburn's import.  Using the finest factories available in Asia, Washburn produces some highest quality import guitars of any current guitar company.   Additional information on Washburn is available at the Washburn Website.   

Why a Washburn guitar from Boogie Street:   Easy answer:  Not only is Boogie Street Washburn's largest custom dealer - Boogie Street is Washburn's finest dealer.  In 2003, BSG began their relationship with Washburn.  Since then, hundreds and hundreds of USA Custom Shop guitars and Custom Import guitars have been built and sold.  Many of these special guitars have made their way onto stages and into studios with some of today's finest guitar players.  Remember - the very finest guitars from Washburn come through Boogie Street Guitars!  

About this  FIRST EVER PS9000 USA PREACHER:   This is very simple.  This guitar is the FIRST PS9000 guitar ever made commercially available.  It was the 2007 Winter NAMM guitar to launch the Paul Stanley Preacher Series.  BSG's Eric McKenna was with Paul and USMusic President Rudy Schlacher in LA.   Eric's work with Rudy and Paul began at that show and has yeilded many customr runs of both USA and Import Paul Stanley Preacher guitars.

At that show, Eric acquired both this FIRST PS9200 and the FIRST PS9000.  Both USA Custom Shop, handbuilt guitars.   These two guitars were designed by Paul and Paul worked with then Washburn Custom Shop Director, Gil Vasquez.  Gil and his crew in the Chicago Custom  Shop handcrafted Paul's two stage guitars for the USA leg of the 2006 'Live to Win' tour.  Then, these two guitars were made and prepared in the fall of 2006 - in anticipation of the launch at the 2007 Winter Namm in January.

Before Eric could acquire these two special guitars, they were sent to the 2007 Musikmesse trade show in Europe.  After that show, the guitars were returned to Wasburn's Chicago Custom Shop, polished and set up - then sent off to Eric at BSG where they have been stored ever since.   Eric has displayed these guitars - visually - in various Boogie Street video productions since 2007 but other than those videos - the guitars have been tucked away in Eric's office at Boogie Street Guitars in Pittsburgh PA.

Have you ever had the chance to own a Number 1?  The 'FIRST' of anything?   Well, these two guitars are just that.  And - these are the 1st ever - PAUL STANLEY PREACHER CUSTOMS! 

Truly a Boogie Street Exclusive - not available anywhere else.   The Paul Stanley Preacher is here to stay.  It's been received extremely well by the guitar community and it's the singlecut guitar which truly merges tradition with progression.  The Preacher was designed by Paul to fit, feel and sound like the traditional solidbody singlecut - yet the Preacher was also designed with 'sexy' lines and an overall progressive design.

Paul Stanley fan?  KISS fan?  Serious collector?  This guitar is a MUST for that collection.  Remember - Paul personally designed the Preacher guitar as his Singlecut.  The guitar that he uses in his solo work, studio work and his solo touring.

Hold this guitar - and you are holding Rock and Roll and Guitar - HISTORY.   Own this guitar - and you OWN Rock and Roll and Guitar KISSTORY!
