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.

 Looking for a guitar case to fit my grandfather's 1940 Kallamazoo "f" grove
Hi,
New here. When my grandfather passed away, he left me his old Kallamazoo "f" grove, archtop guitar. Its in really nice shape considering its age, but there's no hard case for it. I've checked around and can't seem to find one that fits it. Its measurements are 40"-L, 20"-W, 5 3/4"-D at the bridge. Can anyone recommend where to go look. I've checked Sweetwater and a couple other musical instrument companies. No one seems to have a case that fits this guitar. Please help! You can send me an e-mail to dmelt1226@earthlink.net if you like. Thanks in advance. David

Regarding CASE for Kalamazoo guitar: I got the measurements wrong on my first post ... really hate that for those that read my first post and decided they couldn't help.
The CURRECT measurement of this Kalamazoo guitar is: 40"-length, 15"-width at widest part of body, 20"-neck length, and 5 3/4" depth taken from bridge.
Can anyone help me, please!?
Here's a pic of what the guitar looks like:
