There is no doubt in my mind that what you get from the Custom shop is head and shoulder better than the production guitars they replicate from 50+ Years ago in terms of playability. Now of course there will be exceptions, but I stand by that as a general statement.

Anne, excellent song and presentation! I can certainly see why the bar crowd sat forward and listened up. Well done!

Interesting and enjoyable thread! I owned a Non-Reverse 3 P-90 reissue a few years back. It was fine, but my personal preference is for the reverse style I suppose out of traditional looks and feel mostly. As I mentioned in another thread, I am back owning a new Firebird, the newly released Elliot Easton Tiki Firebird, or as I am referring to it the Tiki Bird. It's probably the nicest and most versatile Firebird I ever played. One thing is for sure it overs so much ground, I am getting rid of a few other, namely saying goodbye to my Strats.

All beautiful, but I think I fell in love with those Iced Tea Bursts!

The last time I saw one of these in person was at the 2004 Asbury Park, NJ "Guitar-beque" which was the year that Jorma Kaukonen played the hall in which the HR was demo'ed and put on display and for sale. A fine sounding guitar as I recall.

If J has been confirmed as Jakarta as it seems it would, is there a list of what models/years have been made there?

Nice, Okie! Bet she sounds as great as she looks!

Glad I took another glance at this thread. It reminded me that I need to back to my dealer and get the box candy for my ALLEYKAT HS that they forget to put back in... I could use another stcket and poster anyhow... ;-)

Looks nice, congrats!

Larry nailed it. I would add that if it's a sentimental piece, then a repair could be worth the expense...

"Communication Breakdown" - Led Zeppelin (See it all goes back to Led Zep)...

"Breakdown" - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers...

One of my local dealers has 2 '76 customs and a '75 custom. All are priced at $2500 to 2700. Keep in minf this is a dealer's retial price and I am betting that probably have a trade credit around $1800 to $2000.

Some of those also may have been modded after production too...

That's interesting. I too believe I've seen Single hum SG. But I'll have to look it up in my books tomorrow.
