cody78 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 It's great looking at vintage Gibson catalogues, but I'm not sure if I'd pay £75 for one. It's very interesting though and that link to the free one is fantastic. Thanks for posting that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickthemiller Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 In the late 50s and early 60s I used to send for guitar catalogues from Selmar. I spent many hours drooling over them - Mark Knopfler says he loved the smell of them and would have eaten one if he could. I must say, as a young lad, I would have done the same.

E-minor7 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Nice step back to a fascinating point in space'n'time - are we in '66. . That Everly-bridge is one piece of timber - and notice they got the Bird-scale wrong ;-) Definitely before the torrefried tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not '65 but close. http://www.acousticmusic.org/userfiles/file/pdfs/historical-data/Gibson/Gibson%201966%20Catalog.pdf Nice - thanks for posting that! Interesting that they show the J-50 (just like mine) but not the J-45. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Nice - thanks for posting that! Interesting that they show the J-50 (just like mine) but not the J-45. :) The burst slope is covered by the 160 - but by that logic the should have showed a Country Western instead of the Southerner Jumbo.

bobouz Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 For Free. Not '65 but close. http://www.acousticmusic.org/userfiles/file/pdfs/historical-data/Gibson/Gibson%201966%20Catalog.pdf Pretty funny. Sometime back in the late '70s, I made some black & white copies from this catalog, which I still have! Didn't really collect catalogs, but generally kept what I happened to pick up or find, and like others, would drool over the pages - and at that time, especially the Guild catalogs (still have a few of those, too!).

zombywoof Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Catalogs, of course, will often feature the same pictures and description for several years so do not always immediately pick up on any change in specs. I keep a bunch of copies of catalogs from the 1930s on I have accumulated over the years on hand. If you deal with guitars like Regal and Kay Kraft they are about all you are going to have when trying to sort out even model numbers never mind years built. I would never have been able to figure out my Regal 12 string with out one. There it was, smack dab in the middle of the 1939-1940 catalog right down to the wrap around bridge.

blindboygrunt Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Well, if this ones worth £75 , then you must be sitting on a small fortune zomby!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Have you ever checked out the vintaxe.com site? It is a pay subscription service but they have hundreds upon hundreds of catalogs for American and offshore built electrics and acoustics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
