BigKahune Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 A 73 LPD - NICE! Man, the burst colors still look great. Nice plain top. No buckle rash - looks like it's in really good shape. Somebody took good care of her. Love the minis. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Do you have a photo of your Deluxe GT? I would love to see it. Yeah' date=' it has the '60 Slim Taper neck. Unfortunately, it was defaced by a vandal with a Sharpie... [img']http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2319/3537069493_c60dd7ea07.jpg[/img] Cool flame the full length of the neck. Already getting some lacquer checking/cracking on the top near the knobs. I'm thinking they busted the paint when they pushed the pots thru, and it's spreading now.... Not a fan of fake Mojo, or the aged/relic/VOS look, but I suppose I can live with natural wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Me? Or TT6? :)/ Yeah that is nice. I was never a big fan of goldtops myself, I would have gladly gotten a burst like his if it were available. I shopped used Deluxes for a couple years. The deciding factor? The new one was cheaper than any of the nicer originals, so I got the GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Oh, yours too Neo, but I was mainly commenting on the DLX. It's nice to see them unmolested. So many Deluxes were routed for full sized humbuckers. I'm not a big fan of irreversible "improvements". It's a wonder I survived the 70s, what with all the humbuckers going into the neck position of Teles, all the 60s custom color Strats being stripped and stained walnut.... and then everything in the 80s getting routed for Floyds. One of the best LPs I ever owned was a 1970 cherry sunburst Deluxe that had been raped with THREE full size Dimarzios. It just begged to be played and any musical thought I had seemed to come out when I played that. I suck at guitar, I really do, but when I owned that LP in '86 I got together with a bunch of other no talent hacks and we'd make music. I played stuff on that LP that I didn't think possible with my brain and hands. It just came out. In the spring of '87 I was horribly unemployed and was almost peeling the wallpaper off the walls to sell it for food. The LP went for $300.

charlie brown Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Great Guitar, Truetone 6! I have one, almost like that...a '76 version: Changed the tuners, to Grovers, but kept the original Kluson's, too. Enjoy yours, they're great guitars!!

tatuvah Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Fantastic looking Deluxe! Congrats on your new guitar! I've always wanted one those too. But me being a lefty makes it kind of hard to find one with a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
