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.

 Can anyone help with info on a Meazzi Italy Hollywood?
I am new to the forums, and I hate to start off by asking questions, but I figured this is the place to answer a question I have wondered about for about 10 years. I bought a guitar marker "Meazzi-Italy Mod. Old Jazz" on the headstock, and "Meazzi Italy Hollywood" above the pickups and MH on the pickguard. I have looked around about these, and understand that they were made in Italy, in a Vox factory. Or so I was told by the shop I bought it from (and that it was made in 1969) it is a nice guitar, and fun to play, but I can't seem to find out much about them.. Like whether they are respected guitars, or I wasted my money, and find out what others are out there.. It is the Guitar I have been playing the most, recently at least, but know the least about.. and this sure seems like the place where somebody might know something.. Thanks, and I am glad to be here, Julian
Hope the pictures come through, If I am in the wrong place or doing something wrong, please tell me, I am somewhat new to forums, and very new to this one, thanks, and sorry

Sorry to keep replying to my own thread, I see a bunch of people have seen it but so far nothing. Sorry it took me a bit to get the photos up, I have more if it helps. I'm guessing that means either nobody knows what I have here or I should repost a new thread with the nice pics to begin with.. So any tips for where else I might find info on this guitar? I have tried the usual sources, but my usual might not be sufficient, any help very much appreciated, Julian
