duane v Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I purchased this bare body, and acquired it at a great price.... I'm now in the home stretch, as the face that was made by vinatgevibeguitars was delivered today ... Only this is the pup cavity is going to need some slight routing.... I'm a little bummed, but since it's gonna be my Jimi Hendrix geetar.... I'm okay From this To this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hey man, If you're going to invest in it that far, put all six strings on it, not just the one. Just saying.... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Great looking guitar Duane, congrats. I have a set of P90's on my 70's tribute Firebird by Pete Biltoft at VintageVibeGuiatrs and love them, that guy knows his stuff and offers some unique designs.

He's wound and re-wound quite a few pups for me.... I spent all day and all night doing a recording of the 65 Olympic.... I would had been done alot sooner but the drum program was giving me fits .... She has a nice bitey sound and really easy to play.... almost too easy that I might throw 10's on her http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrxIaKePCnU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody78 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Cool guitar Duane, looks fantastic... but may I ask, how many guitars do you own? I thought I had a large collection, but you seem to acquire a new amazing one every other day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You beat me though, I have 33 at last count which I've collected over the last 20 years or so. Like yourself most of mine are Gibbys (17), Epi's (9) others (6). Shame you don't live down the street from here, bet we'd have a great jam and collection put together! Some awesome collections on this forum for sure.

'Scales Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Awesome Duane. I love my sunburst 1969 model Olympic with the Crestwood miniHB in it. Possibly the coolest looking, to me!, guitar I ever held was a '64 Crestwood (2 pup model though I think) in polaris white with black guard and the oval inlays and rosewood tailpiece. oh man!
