Foggy, that guitar looks familiar . . .

If you're in Austin, I have a few with soaps.

Yep. Those Epi P90 Pros sound so fantastic in that guitar. Volume down on the guitar and they ring like a bell. Volume up and they are so nasty, in a good way. 

The feedback I can get with that rig is incredible. Shuts the neighbor's music down every time.

Yup, this is the main guitar I used in your studio back in 95? 96? I think I also had an old Alamo Fiesta that was only good for tracking feedback haha.

I'm hoping you guys can help me solve a little mystery. When I bought this SG Jr., I asked if it came with a case. The guy at the shop said it didn't come in to the shop with a case, but he found a case in the back that would work and included it in the deal. 

What kind of guitar do you think this case was made for? Check out this pic again and see how the case doesn't fit the contours of the SG. A few months ago I was guitar-sitting for a friend while he was getting his floors done in his house, and I tried his Les Paul in the case. Didn't fit.

Something sort of 335-ish, maybe?

It's a Gibson case, probably from the 70s.

I just tried to put my Epiphone Riviera, which is the same body size as a 335 with a slightly longer headstock, in the case. It's too wide to fit in there. Sorry for the poor lighting in this pic.

Interdasting. 

I'm gonna see if I can find the specs on that guitar, compare it to the case and report back. Thanks Deej.

Latches and lining are different, so maybe not.

Got a pic of the case without a guitar in it?

I don't think that's it, but it's not far off. The curves in the middle are deeper, more concave, and the bottom is rounder. The case you have has a shape very similar to an acoustic dreadnaught, though I doubt it's deep enough to be an acoustic case. I was thinking maybe a resonator, which has a very similar shape. I know Gibson owns Dobro, but I don't know if there was ever a similar guitar that a Gibson case would be made for.

One of these, maybe?

Man, I see these ads from Gibson (and Fender for that matter) from the 70s, and I think:

I hear you, Chad, but as a kid I wanted an L6-S, RD Artist or Gretsch Super Axe so bad it hurt. They were the guitars of the future. So we were told. We were also told there would be flying cars...

My 1st name-brand guitar was a '77 RDD Custom I bought in 1991 for $300 from a pawn shop in Waco. I thought it was a steal! I loved that guitar so hard. I didn't realize how much it sucked until I sold it around 2005 (for $700 if I recall) and bought an Amican Strat.

Well, my first guitar idol was my Dad, who was a child of the 50s.  Thus, a major influence for me were those 50s and early 60s artists and their guitars filtered through the lens of that guy.  Of course, this was all before I discovered flannel and heavily modified offsets thanks to Mudhoney, Nirvana, et al. But the 70s were just so over the top in so many ways.  More whistles and bells and less quality, in general.

All that said, I wouldn't part with my natural 73 P-Bass for all money in the world.  And that's about as 70s as it gets.

What a novel concept.

Seems obvious, right?

Is it good news or bad news, considering what they have done with guitars in recent years?

I still say it should have been BMF at the helm at Gibson.

Got the call from my Sweetwater rep today. "You haven't bought anything in three months. Just checking to see if you're still alive."

Well....?

Gonna be awhile. I'm at $11k on saving this little dog, and it's still climbing.

Unless he cuts me a really sweet deal. I haven't called back yet. That Supro Keeley amp is calling me a bit.

Yep, that blaquer'ard tele is a schwinger....

I'm about to sell a couple amps on the craigslist.  If you're in Austin and trolling for an AC30 (CC1 combo) or an Orange Rockerverb 50 head (+/- an Orange 212 cabinet), I'll make you a deal.

Plus you can have that charitable, satisfied feeling -- just knowing that your money will probably get recycled on gear.  

Foggy will end up with all our gear if we post it on Austin CL. 

We should get some sort of gear trade thread up. Or just open our own store.

What year is the VOX?

EDIT:  oh never mind I see it was a short release ~ 2004-2005.  I need to do a little research and get back to you. 

Edited by jimmyjazz

Oh, shit. Paul Wesley wants more of my money...

noharley, that Collings is the shit, man. Gorgeous.

Bogey, I didn’t need that temptation this close to Christmas.

Damn.  Imma be pissed if this is one of those $20k repros that only get hung up high on the wall at GC.

When Led Zeppelin was formed in October 1968, the Dragon Telecaster became Page’s go-to instrument and he played it on stage and in the studio until 1969. It was also the main guitar used on the legendary Led Zeppelin I album. Page went on tour in 1969, and upon his return, he discovered a friend had kindly stripped the body and painted over the dragon paint job. The paint job compromised the sound and wiring, leaving only the neck pickup working.

Good lord.  There has to be more back story than that!  "Hey mate, look!  I refinished your guitar!"

That's pretty much all Page has let on about the incident. He pulled the neck and used it on the brown b-bender later.
