[Mark Eaton]

You're killin' me here Robert, this sort of thing should be illegal!

[Lee Baucum]

What did you say your address was?

[G Strout]

Love that Guild!!! I had an old M 65 3/4 single pickup. Traded it down in Austin TX 20 years ago and have been kicking myself from that day to this!!! What a great sounding guitar it was.

If your talking the "Slim Jim", yes it had a very unique tone,slightly harsh and rock a billy all the way.I have had several and that one should have stayed !!!

[Dana Blodgett]

Robert ,that Fender Tremolux is the cleanest one that I have seen since the early sixties!That strat ain't bad either. is that a single 10" spkr in the cab? I just love that amp!

[Robert Mayo]

This particular find was from the original owner that after he called I hopped in the truck, drove for 6 days straight and came home with that crazed look in my eyes, the little misses just shook her head and made me breakfast as I mumbled and smiled incoherently ,100% all original slab board strat with tags,strap,care kit,original bill of sale,cord,case, amp cab,amp head,footswitch tags,and covers.1 X 12 speaker with the "tone ring" super duper clean and minty,not for sale.

[Dana Blodgett]

It should be criminal to post pics such as this!
JUst kidding! I've never seen anything so clean and old, talk about drool...

[Ron Whitfield]

I can only keep from crying with jealousy because I have a few choice vintage pieces to cuddle too. The Guild and gold top must have been nice! For standards, I'm pacified by a '60 Bigsby/Magnatone Mark V, slab body. I should have pix like your's... thanx for posting them.

[Dave Hopping]

Great stuff! IIRC the first version of the piggyback Tremo came with 1 10" speaker,but that a 12" with the Tone Ring could be had by special order.I've never seen one in person.
The Strat-and-Tremo pic brought back some fond memories of my first big amp-a '62 Tremo I got for Christmas that year.Here's a pic.

I see some old Fender basses pictures but wonder if anybody can top this one:
I bought this Fender Precision bass in 1955 when I was playing with a polka band in Minnesota.
I still have the original strings, strap, neck tag and tweed case.

[Mike Neer]

I love vintage instruments and I've owned many, particularly archtops and things like that, but as much as I do love them, the hunt takes away far too much of my playing time (because, you know, you can't have just one!). It becomes a full time job and an end in itself.

umm,yummy,wanna sell it ?

[Erv Niehaus]

No Way!!!

[Dana Blodgett]

Erv, I wouldn't sell it either! Keep it till you're desperate for $$'s, the market is down anyway. Nice lookin bass! Every vintage piece I've ever sold I have truely regretted selling in the past. I'll contact you soon for another small order of Hawaiian songs. Dana

[Erv Niehaus]

Dana,
Sounds good!

[Dana Blodgett]

Here's a couple of picks of a 1965 Gibson Lg-1. I know it's missing a string. It needs a new bridge, and possibly a new nut, I am basically the second owner. I have original leather strap and faux alligator case.For a few years Gibson used bolt on "plastic" bridges and this one is starting to fail. The guitar has no cracks or buldging behind the bridge a very solid(except for bridge,slightly loose) some checking. Original Kluson tuners which are in very good shape.I am trying to decide to replace bridge or just sell it as it is(all original). The neck is nice 24 3/4" scale, the guitar is basically a student model but sounds very good, especially for blues or convert to a lap steel.

[Dana Blodgett]

Here's a Kamaka soprano ukulele from the mid to late seveties before they had serial numbers. Second owner, I bought this in Maui in '93, it's well played-all koa I believe

[Dana Blodgett]

This was my main ax for over twenty years, I am the original owner. A 1976 or '77 Gibson Les Paul Jr. Special Limited Edition with P-90's, slim-taper 60's neck, no issues all original.

[Dana Blodgett]

Here is my '73 Sho-Bud 3x4

[Erv Niehaus]

Since we're playing "you show me yours and I'll show you mine", here's, I believe, a 1937 Rickenbacher bakelite.
