    Weird Aldo guitar

    The price is fairly wrong here but I'm curious as to what this might be. It certainly isn't a premier/supro/harmony of the era, and that pickup was installed later. I have a japanese Lyle that was refitted with minihums that it looks somewhat similar to in shape but this is VERY primitive...

    GSR- Buying Unseen

    I've been posting about buying a black jumbo or dread for sometime now and months have gone by and I haven't seen one locally or online at anything close to a reasonable price. I've been reluctant to get anything online without playing it. I see that one of the GSR red F-55e's is advertised...

    Black bling acoustics

    As I recently turned [TOO OLD], I'm looking for a milestone acoustic. My last milestone was a nice Fred Stuart grady martin Bigsby replica so it's time for somethin' equally fancy. What I really want is a black acoustic with some bling for stage like the old country guys had. Perhaps a crazy...

    Guitars without pickguards

    So I have a Fender Kingman C in Fiesta Red. It’s a nice guitar. On CL by me there’s a Kingman Pro which is the custom shop bolt on variety in sunburst. It’s not a terrible price. But there’s no pick guard and the seller says he doesn’t have it. He has the CoA only. When I bought my guitar it...

    X150 or...?

    A friend of mine picked this up recently. Tag reads X150 and serial number says it is a '55. Plays much better than I expected and kinda wish I had picked it up when offered to me. I suspect that it is an old refin/restain of a Savoy with new bridge, tuners and Martin dearmonds. Has a great...

    I take it all back

    I've griped about my X160 Corona Rockabilly in black on these pages and others and probably wasn't fair. I didn't like certain aspects of the guitar, most especially the pickup volume. I repent. After listing it on craigslist and the gretsch pages halfheartedly, I took it to my guitar tech...

    Replacement Pickguards

    I'm looking to spruce up my black Corona rockabilly a bit now that I A/B'd it with a whole bunch of stuff at the local guitar shop (nice to do that occasionally to alleviate GAS). Strange, it absolutely KILLED a new historic 175 with P-90s... (fThe Gibbo was very pretty but blechy pups) Does...

    Sound of x160 v. Starfire III-90

    I've been jonesing for a P90-equipped guitar for some time now and have narrowed it down to either a hollow or solidbody guild with P90s. I have a Rockabilly X160-- can anyone help with the difference in tone between the DeArmonds and the P90s, say in a Starfire III-90? Those look AMAZING...

    M-75CS???

    Hiya, I was a member on the old forum and haven't posted here yet:) Today I was scouting round and I found a "Custom Shop" M-75 shaped guitar with no arch, cherry-type finish, with clear pickguard and P90s (I think) instead of humbuckers or DeArmonds. Looked a bit like a LP jr. I understand...
