Epiphone Crestwood
Epiphone
The Epiphone Crestwood is a solid-body electric guitar introduced in 1958. It has no Gibson equivalent. It evolved through named variants—Crestwood Custom, Crestwood DeLuxe—before ending production in 1970. Its construction is mahogany. Its pickups are New Yorker. Its headstock changed from three-on-a-side to six-on-a-side. Its pickguard changed design and lost the Epiphone logo. Its fretboard markers changed from dots to ovals. Its plating changed from gold to nickel. Its upper horn lengthened slightly by 1963. The Crestwood DeLuxe added a third pickup and an ebony fretboard with block inlays.

Moog synthesizer
Moog · 1964
The Moog synthesizer is a modular, voltage-controlled analog synthesizer invented by Robert Moog in 1964. It was the first commercial synthesizer and established the analog synthesizer concept through its use of patch-cord-connected modules—including voltage-controlled oscillators, filters, envelope generators, and amplifiers—to implement subtractive synthesis.

Streamer bass
Warwick
The Streamer bass is a functional, ergonomic, and legally contested instrument. It does one thing well: deliver focused low-end articulation in a comfortable, German-built package. It does nothing else — no tonal flexibility, no innovation, no independent identity in its first years. Its history is defined by imitation, negotiation, and eventual divergence — not invention.

Warwick Thumb SC
Warwick
The Warwick Thumb SC is a 2010 single-cut bass born from a fan forum contest. It adapts the Thumb NT shape with new tonewoods and adds coil-splitting via two mini toggles—its sole functional departure from the NT. It has no passive mode, no 6-string option, and no historical lineage beyond its 2009–2010 development cycle.
