To quote from a Kingston Trio hit something like 60 years ago, "Kinda hurts my fingers!". I guess I am being shamed into admitting my past spending decisions...... This is probably about as close as I can come to recreating the past 20 years. Based upon the asterisks, I think I still have 14. (Only two of which are on the sales block). But you never know, there COULD be something in the corner of the vault that I have forgotten about. (Man, some REALLY NICE ones have some and gone!)

"Anybody with up to 10 gets his picture in the HFC Clubhouse HOF. Down the hall on the left before the Men's Room. Over 20 you get a Lifetime Achievement Award and your picture enshrined behind the bar with the list printed on parchment and preserved on a scroll, announced and read by Angela Lansbury, if she's still alive. If Angela has passed on Ist runner up is Mayim Bialik aka Amy Farrah Fowler - Big Bang Theory" I think that pushes me a bit over 80. Does that qualify me for something more upfront and personal from some OTHER member of the "Big Bang" cast? I mean, if you are gonna go out, it might as well be with a big bang......
GuitarGuy65 Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 I've had a few over the years: Late 70s Sunburst in Natural (when I was 16, thanks to Cheap Trick!) 4 digit bound and crowned Standard (it was near mint too, damn!) Early 80s Special in Amber Orange (I covered it in checkerboard tape when I was in high school) Scarab in Blue Zulu finish Steve Stevens 1 in Gunmetal Gray Diablo in Trans Green Daytona in Sea Foam Green Early 90s Sunburst Archtop (wish I hadn't moved that one!) in blue burst with quilt top, trem, and crème EMGs from the factory 90s Special FM - Amber And I've still got a 1996 Duotone in Natural and a beautiful 1981 bound burst Vector that is as clean as they come! I've got some other brands too... 😉
Steve Haynie Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Seeing that Vector with no finish fade or aging is sooo nice.
tobereeno Posted May 8, 2018 Posted May 8, 2018 1990 Centaura 1992 custom 12+6 doubleneck (Californian-esque) 1988 Californian dot-neck 19??

Thundersteel Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 I've had three, all made in 2008: Studio Custom, Newport BE, and Artist Custom. I still have the Artist; I'm still kicking myself for selling the Studio and Newport.

fasteddie Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 All the models are as follows: My one, my mate's got a couple that bloke from Judas Priest has one, and so does Rick Savage, oh and Paul Stanley from that funny band also used to play one. Don't be shy to come to me folks, with your specific questions re this topic, my knowledge is encyclopedic.

Gotta ask you. 4.5 Daytonas? Does that mean you had 4 males and 5 females? That's a good ratio.

Sugartune Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 I'm a rookie. Mahogany Standard 80's Vector Artist Korina P-90 90's Special Newport Studio Custom (My first and only remaining. Will never leave) I miss all the gone ones, except the vector. Really didn't like the neck on that. Way too small and I'm not giant. Hope to try some others (as many as possible!). Unfortunately, access is really minimal in my area.
Rich_S Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Um... red Slammer Series Sunburst, Gravelin pickups. That’s it.
