A very special thanks to Tim Smith who runs the Facebook group "Fans of the Stephen's Extended Cutaway" for collecting many of these unique photos to share.

Q-Ball (www.qballsguitars.com) had these pictures of this very unique SSI Model T.

 



1994 Stephen's Model S 2134. Pictures courtesy of Q-Ball from his website where he displays his extensive guitar collection (www.qballsguitars.com)

Gloss Black finish, 7/8 size alder body, maple neck with Stephen’s Extended Cutaway Design, maple fretboard, DiMarzio PAF Classic humbucker pickups, Kahler USA double-locking Floyd Rose tremolo, black hardware. This one actually has an original N4 body.



A Stephen's Model T that popped up on Ebay. It appears to have been a bit neglected, and needed some work. Also, there are several extra knobs and switches that I can't really account for.
According to the buyer of the guitar, the extra knobs were because it is a "custom model with rmc piezo electric bridge pickup and midi interface".

 

Washburn LS103



This is a custom Charleston DC80 made for a preacher (hence the cross in the headstock).
Note: the inlays were done post-production.



Here are two more pictures of a very rare yellow quilted maple EC29. This is the only one I've ever seen (aside from the one pictured in the original EC29 ad), and it is likely only a small few were made.
This one is currently owned by a fellow in Greece, who generously took these pics so we could post them here!



Here's a closer picture of Tim's Stepehen's Extended Cutaway Telecaster.

Washburn EC36

 

Here's an unusual one!
This is an EC-36 with modifications. The last 12 frets have been scalloped, and they removed frets for notes G#, A#, C#, and D#.

 

Here is a Stephen's Guitar from the early 80s, before he had invented the Stephen's Extended Cutaway.

Here is an EC36 in the rarest of the crackles: Black Lightning (also known as purple crackle)

Stephen's Stringed Instruments Model T. Tim found this picture in a Fender forum. There are three pictures of this guitar in this gallery. One is from the front in a case, one if from the back hanging on a wall, and one is of the headstock which reads "Western Swing Special". Here's the description from the owner:

"Very rare Flamed Swamp Ash top, look thru Sunset Orange Nitro Lackr, "Faux" bound top, Semi Hollow, 52 RI nickle hardware. W.T. Van Zant PU's, NOS late 60's - 70's steel bridge saddles, real 50's Daka Ware switch tip. Rosewood board on a maple neck shaped copying a 9/53 I owned at the time. Vince Gill owns it's sister in look thru cherry with matching headstock. One of the last Stephen's Extended Cutaway Model T's to leave the Seattle Shop.
Resting in a 54 RI Strat case."
