  1. My sister-in-law lives in northern Vermont so we have a free place to go. It will be too bad for all those who spent lots to go somewhere and it's a cloudy day. At least it will still get dark for a bit even if it's cloudy.
  2. My source for serial#'s also says 1963 or 1967. You could measure the nut width. The '63 will be 1 11/16" and the '67 would be the narrower 1 9/16" width.
  3. That's great, it's a wonderful phenomenon but... Remember even though nothing can compare to seeing it yourself, you must wear proper viewing glasses or you could go blind. We got some cheap ones on Amazon for $6 for a 5- pack.
  4. Very nice and so close to the Howlin' Wolf original. And yes, Steven Tyler on the Harp. Tasty. Thanks for posting.
  5. Great video! Lots of cool guitars and stories from Peter. A real history lesson. Can't think of a better way to kill an hour and a half on a Friday afternoon at work!
  6. The $20K was for the brand new bike and the guitar! Probably a great deal for two one of a kinds.
  7. It is still on ch308 also. Unfortunately for me it looks like ch107 is only for a week, not permanent.
  8. There are actually only two types of people in this world; those who think there are only two types of people and those who don't. I already have a hybrid, a Taylor T5 that I bought when they first came out in 2005, way ahead of the curve.
  9. Sorry to resurrect this months old thread but there's good news on the Bad Sign front. There must have been a lot of complaints as Sirius/XM has moved Deep Tracks further up the dial. Starting today it is on Ch 107. I can now get it again in my 2014 car and that's a good sign!
  10. Hoyt Axton wrote Joy to the World and Never been to Spain. Also Ringo's No No song and Steppenwolf's The Pusher. He pumped out lots of tunes and not all of them were turds.
  11. Based on the sticker in the f-hole and if the serial# starts with a 7 (hard to be sure from photo) it's a 1970, 1971 or 1972 with a walnut top, although it looks like someone hand wrote a '74 date on the sticker, not normal. These go for $3000-$5000 depending on condition and how many parts have been swapped out. Depending on what they are, having the original pickups could increase value. Pickups affect value more than swapped out tuners. Sitting for 45 years would also decrease the value depending on environment it was stored in as well as neck and electronics integrity.
  12. Maybe not. Not sure if Burns went under or what but Brian also worked with Guild for a while and he then went to BMG his own brand, Brian May Guitars.
  13. Burns is the brand of the Brian May Red Special.
  14. Check this out: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mark-knopfler-guitar-collection-fetches-211511648.html Some crazy money spent here. $873K for a '59 LP, I guess a bit over the going rate but $746K for the 1983 '59 Historic Reissue that Money for Nothing was recorded with seems outrageous. $524K for the Schecter Tele used to record Walk of Life... etc. At least he gave 25% to charities.
  15. I read an article saying it may be worth $5 million, tying Elvis' 1968 red Hagstrom Viking for the most valuable guitar. Most of us think a '59 burst LP is the Holy Grail. How did a bass and a modestly regarded Swedish electric get to the top. I guess a good argument that the famous owner's provenance does matter. At least if they're extremely famous.
