1972 Gibson showcase brochures
1972 Gibson showcase brochuresIn 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
1961 Vox Stroller electric guitar 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.

    I found an old picture of my '68 EB-2 - the picture was taken while I was recording in 2003:



    I also posted a recording of it, from the same recording session: http://soundcloud.com/hieronymous-seven/yes-frost

    If I remember correctly it's just going through a tube distortion, direct to the board. Enjoy!

    Thanks to everyone that listened!

    I've put up another track, still the EB-2 but this time even more synthy sounding due to the Prunes & Custard pedal by Crowther.

    Same drummer (Greg DeGuglielmo) - I overdubbed the drone later.

    Thanks! Space rock, huh? I never thought of it that way, but I like it! Might have to rename the genre & rewrite the description...
