NYC’s own axe-wielding troubadour, Steve Conte, has taken his roots, grafted on a few influences, and come up with The Crazy Truth, a power trio with laser beam precision and a hell of a lot of heart

It's been an amazing summer and what a way to end it...

Hi Everybody, This is Sylvain Sylvain of the New York Dolls.
Unfortunately I am selling this beautiful Black Falcon
to the highest bidder.
It's been with me for a long time and I hate to see her go.
She served me well on countless occasions and was part of
the reunion show that put the new York Dolls together again.


If you know my past at all, I'm known to play Gretsch hollow body
guitars. Which is traditionally an instrument meant to be played gently. I
buy them like that and then turn them into hot rods.
In fact, I don't consider it a guitar, it's a Cadillac! I customized
this rock-a-billy guitar to play punk music. It's delivers that razor power
cord sound every time!


It features a really beautiful neck that plays smoothly, rough, or  tough.
Set in gold sparkle binding/golden hardware "all around" and with a black lacquer
finish. It also features a tune-o-matic bridge set with double sided tape,
so you can beat the crap out of it & it won't go out of tune. It would take a crowbar
to move that baby, but can still be readjusted. Two FilterTron  pickups
that sound simply incredible. A three way switch, a master volume & three
tone knobs all in gold hardware.


Comes with the original hard shell case (when I purchased it) with Sylvain Sylvain and New York Dolls stickers.

My signature appears inside the F hole (see photos)

The guitar is also autographed by David Johansen (New York Dolls) and Sami Yaffa (New York Dolls & Hanoi Rocks). Altho  Sami's signiture has worn out a bit.

A hand written letter of Authenticity has been notarized and signed by me (see more photos on ebay)

All The Best, on the bidding
Rock n Roll Forever
Sylvain Sylvain

The surviving members of the New York Dolls and legendary producer Todd Rundgren are reuniting for the first time in 36 years.

Rundgren, who produced the band's eponymous debut, which included the classic tracks Personality Crisis and Trash, will start work on the new album at his studio on the island of Kauai. Production with David Johansen and Sylvain Sylvain is scheduled to start in January 2009.

"We're really excited to be working with Todd again," says Johansen. "We're hoping to recapture the same magic."

The album, which is yet untitled, will be released on the Atco label through Warner Brothers. The Atco label has been specially re-launched for this project.

The Dolls will follow the release of the new album with a world tour in 2009.

Notorious VIPs - Sin City - The destination for glitz and glamour, partying, and excess, and second home to this heinous group of poor little rich girls gone bad. They dominate the Vegas nightlife scene with their bitchy and destructive behavior. You'll find them behind the velvet rope, enjoying bottle service and looking down their noses at YOU!

Tommy Gun Terrors - Dirty is more than just a little olive juice in a martini...They solve their issues the "Old Vegas" way - problem people just disappear, maybe with the help of cement skates here or there. These girls resent what Vegas has become - the party destination for all these spoiled brats who don't know what a hard days work means. After all, this town was built on the backs of their families and the dreams of their fathers.
