2005 Nokie's HitchHiker Acoustic 諾奇愛得華的木吉他

HitchHiker 木吉他﹕

是用Santa Cruz 的FS 型號去做的琴頭加上"搭便車"(Hitch Hiker)的手勢, Inlay 和HitchHiker電吉他相同, 全部只生產3把, 1把賣給我, 1把賣給日本人, 1把Nokie留著, 我的是過去幾年Nokie用來錄音CD的那把.

Nokie 在2007年 生日派對音樂會用這把 HitchHiker 木吉他和 Mason Williams 一齊雙演奏名曲“Classical Gas” ( Mason Williams 是原作者). 表演完第二天我就把這把吉他帶回家了。

2005 Nokie's HitchHiker acoustic (Made by Santa Cruz)

Nokie used this HitchHiker Acoustic to record on many of his CD's. This guitar was made by Santa Cruz based on their FS model. I was told by Nokie that only 3 were made. One was sold a while back and the other one is Nokie's backup. I chose this one as it was Nokie's main recording and concert guitar.

From Santa Cruz Website:
".....The F model is visually one of the most striking guitars in the Santa Cruz line. The guitar's stylish appeal gracefully accommodates options such as the cutaway body and the Deco inlay pattern. This model is an extremely versatile instrument. The F's even balance between bass, treble, and midrange, along with its excellent projection, allow the player to place emphasis where it is desired, rather than accepting the limits of an excessively boomy or bright response. The combination of beauty and versatility in tone has earned the F model a place on stage and in the Shop with artists ranging from Eric Clapton to the classical players in the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet...."

Nokie's 1959 Gibson ES330T

諾奇愛得華的私人爵士吉他

1959年Gibson ES330T, 看起來像ES335, 但中間沒有實木是全空心的, 比較像早期的ES125, ES330 有1個拾音器和2個拾音器.

Nokie's HitchHiker Rock Creek Prototype

諾奇愛得華的私人電吉他

但在2002年Fender買下Chavel後, 決定不再替Nokie生產HitchHiker吉他, Nokie接了一大堆訂單交不出貨來(網頁論壇可以聽到一些抱怨聲), 只好趕快再找一家在Oregon州的小吉他工廠 Rock Creek Guitar Company U.S.A. .生產做了Prototype和小批量的吉他後, Nokie發現品質不合他的要求而取消合約, 底下的紅吉他就是當時品質標準用的Prototype樣本.

Nokie's HitchHiker Guitar: Natural

第一代的HitchHiker吉他 (諾奇愛得華的私人電吉他)

這把是 Nokie在音樂會表演必用的無編號或001號HitchHiker 私人吉他(我的是002號)



2007年7月在 CAAS 音樂會﹐他把他的HitchHiker吉他放在我旅館房間要我保管﹐表演拿比較方便, 當時他住在他的大旅行車裡。 我興奮的趕快照張相片.



我的002號
















Nokie現在把訂單下到日本給Aria做, 但交期似乎敲不定, 到現在為止我還沒有看到樣本. Nokie現在表演一定用他的001號HitchHiker吉他(我的是002號).

[07.2009 Update]: HitchHiker 第三代日本 Aria 生產的吉他已經上市﹐看 Premier Guitar 雜誌 的訪問:
