serial Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yep, I kept it. I moved a couple of other $ guitars and bought some Japanese ones. I think, actually, after cleaning house, I have MORE guitars than I had before. That's happened to me more times than I care to count. I'm just now finally at the point where I've actually been successful at actually reducing the overall number, but then a new roof and water heater (mine let go this week, just as I was thinking I'd have some fun money around) helped that cause.

I had one (a 1/83 neck date) with a number close to that-and yes, I know that the #s weren't sequential. Wow that's cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chap Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 My super worn out Chaparral which I stopped using a while back because it's so ugly but thanks to Fender, apparently ugly is now cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disturber Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 One of the regretfully sold. This one had awesome tone, the only guitar with a JB in the bridge I had that sounded good. It was rather heavy and had a neck on the thin side, so I sold it. Stupid me. It was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason01 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I can play the black Hamer game For some reason I just can't bring myself to let this one go. None more black! Gone but not forgotten Another one thats moved on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinDK Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Gone but not forgottenAs I recall, when you sold it -it was nothing but a body stripped to bare wood. The next owner did the full restoration and refinish to bring it to what you see in the photo.Seems like the kind of BCR Greg could use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yes it's pretty much a 99.9% clean guitar, and my favorite Strat, even over my first one, a 1965 Transition logoed one in 1968. These are killer guitars, thanks for the compliment! yngwie308 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give some credit to the dude who actually did the work. At least put a disclaimer like most of us do when posting pictures off other people's guitars that "this is not my guitar" or tell people that when you sold it it was nothing more than a stripped bare piece of wood. I know I wouldn't want someone taking credit for my hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it's good to know who we are, where we stand, and i guess it takes a village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I wouldn't want someone taking credit for my hard work. I'm sorry, I would have thought by now for how many times I have said Hellrider67 did the refin on that guitar that it would have been redundant to post it again. He took that pic too btw. The title of the thread was black guitars and since others had posted guitars that were no longer in their posession I figured that one was fair game to include. My apologies if I've made it sound somewhere like I was trying to take credit for the work he did on it. I'm pretty sure in one of the lasts posts on the WTB phantom GT thread I made it quite clear who did the refin on the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elduave Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Dave, What's the post quota I need to meet before I'm allowed to bust chops? 500 posts or 3 years of being a nice guy, or the proper smiley. Talk about bustin' chops... I had this Hamer dealer dude send me a rare vintage Hamer with a top mounted Floyd Rose and he didn't bother to... ahhh, but that's a story for another day. Was that you who shipped me the White Phantom that arrived with broken headstock? 'Cause I have no idea what you're talking about otherwise.

formula73 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Dean Firebird What?!? Details please! I bought it from the guy who bought it from the guy who built it. I don't remember when it went down, but I guess this luthier who works in some big shop in LA decided he wanted a Dean Firebird, so he slaughtered an E'Lite, made a Firebird body, and put the two together. Viola! Dean Firebird! It plays great, too, and sounds even better with the WCR Fillmores. I DIG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
