Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe: Vintage Entries
This thread has aroused some very intense confusing feelings in me. I've never felt this way about inanimate objects before...

(These might have came out too big, but anyway...)
1948 Epiphone Blackstone, Serial #57098, from the Estate of Les Paul.
Those are Les' handwritten notes on the side of the case.

You're limited in size because you're attaching them rather than linking them.

My 1981 "StraBro90" Ibanez Blazer.
This is one of the first new-style Blazers ever built. Full brass trem including saddles.
Mine sports a full set of Strabro90 pickups, the 2008 SDUGF user appreciation pickup. The wiring allows the bridge pickup to go out-of-phase and in-series with the 5-way switch, and separate tap for bridge and neck. So you can "subtract" half a neck or middle pickup from a full bridge pickup via OOP and then put it in-series to add some meat back.
(picture taken with a simple C/Y mount manual focus 50mm Zeiss, no geeking out with perspective control or anything)

I should have carefully staggered the black and light brown grades to frame each other.

Per Aceman, I'm dropping this here, though yes I know, it's not a guitar. (But it plays like one!)
1966 Hofner Violin bass. I'm the 3rd owner. 2nd owner ran Guitar Showcase and had Seymour himself rewind these pickups decades ago about the time he started the Antiquities line. It sounds like the record.

Hard choice about what to enter here.
1. '27 Martin 00-28K2 (all koa body, one of five made that year)
2. '68 Guild F-50 - beautiful and excellent all maple jumbo guitar with a cherry sunburst finish. They were made in fairly low numbers; I think maybe 50 or 60 were made that year.
3. '68 SG Standard, 100 percent original down to every last screw. In the family since '75, it is now mine.
4. '68 ES-330, also 100 percent original, in faded sparkling burgundy metallic, which looks like metallic bronze now. Absolutely *****in' color!

Post them all and see what kind of feedback you get, then settle on the finalist. I'd like to see them.

Here is my 1973 Ovation Deacon 12 string, all original with the original case. I had been lusting for a Breadwinner or Deacon for years and found this gem in a music store. Someone priced it as a 6 string via the bluebook so I got it for $525 (ten years ago) I was offered $2500 for it a week later. I was going to flip it for a Les Paul but a guitar store manager smartly said "you will bump into Les Pauls in every guitar store you walk into, you could go your whole life without seeing one of these again." So she is still in my collection. The guitar sounds like a dream clean or distorted, the actions is unbelievable.
