Reply With QuoteThe question has got to be is it reversible? I think the refin colour is marvellous, but I hate the top horn. It's clearly been well done, but without knowing what is under that finish, you are taking a real risk with this one. I like the way they treated the serial number - better than just loosing it.
Mind you, the parts alone could be worth a significant amount, so I guess it depends on how much they want for it.

| 1972 Gibson showcase brochures |
 In 1972 Gibson produced a series of 'Guitar of the Month' brochures, each dedicated to one of their high end models, the Les Paul Recording guitar, L5-CES, ES-175D, Super 400-CES, ES-355TD-SV and
Byrdland. Each brochure was a single sheet folded into four panels, with details of the instruments themselves, their features, musical purpose, and a little history behind the development of each guitar. Only the Les Paul Recording was a new model; the others were all well established in the Gibson line. Follow the link to see scans and further information on these leaflets and other Gibson guitar catalogues from the CMI and Norlin periods.

| 1961 Vox Stroller |
 The earliest versions of the Vox Stroller were actually copies of an early Japanese electricguitar, the Guyatone (also sold under the brand Antoria) LG50. These Strollers, although short-lived did undergo a few changes before taking on the more familiar Strat influenced style of many mid-sixties UK-built Vox guitars. The biggest difference between early and late LG50-style Strollers (and the two pickup version, the Shadow) was the larger pickup, a shade longer, but noticeably wider used in the very first Vox guitars. Compare this early Vox to a 1963 Stroller with the later V1 pickup. For more information about Vox guitar pickups in general, see the Vox guitar pickups page.

Custom Epiphone Embassy Deluxe - 1964
This is mad - but beautifully done - an Epiphone Embassy Deluxe with lengthened top horn. And a really nice new colour too.

over $1500 and reserve not met. I'm not surprised really. Too many unknowns. I doubt this will go any higher either.
1968 Gibson SG Special
1979 Gibson ES175D
