Silenced Fred Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Has to be my Alhambra' date=' hand painted acoustic. Looks like it's wrapped in paper and tied up with twine but it's not...

Riffster Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I would say my modified Squier '51. Its body is actually wood!! This thing gets humbucker tones, and single tones because the humbucker splits and then the middle position is out of phase which works great with slide. Tough as nails, no matter where I drag it around I am not worried about it breaking. It has a nice solid beefy neck and I just had it setup including a fret polish and it plays great, real comfortable guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Not aftermarket, it just means that a lot of low price imports have press wood or plywood bodies but this one is actually a 3 piece body but solid wood nevertheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MojoRedFoot Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I'd take one of those in a heartbeat. I highly recommend the Truckster...smooth, fast neck. Tone with serious ball$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 My 1940's Antoine di Mauro 'Chorus'. I need a good luthier to set it up so I can actually use it! Flight knows a guy (Robbie Gladwell?) so I might speak to him about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Euuuuh...the sound of my mouth fallin'apart...WHAT a BEAUTY pippy!!! #-o #-o Thanks very much. The main problem with it is that no matter what I try to play it always sounds like 'Minor Swing' (Ha! In my dreams' date=' maybe...)[/size'] I like your avatar, BTW. (EDIT : After writing the above I just had to check and the answer is : No. I still can't play 'Minor Swing'. Well, the chords, perhaps!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'll post the video to demonstrate to you) If you want I'll look upon some more luthiers in the UK, familiar with the manouche guitars?

(I'll post the video to demonstrate to you) If you want I'll look upon some more luthiers in the UK, familiar with the manouche guitars? Kris[/quote'] Chopin is OK by me! The real problem with mine is the neck has a pronounced bow and, there being no truss rod, is difficult to true. I certainly do not have the ability. The guy Flight knows managed to correct a lateral twist on Flight's Slash sig so he may well know what he's up to. If you do know of any luthiers I'd be grateful to hear of some. The only one I've contacted was Gipsy Guitars in Paris. They explained that the Manouche instruments need to be looked at by someone who knows them well! Cheers.

For sure, your guitar is a delicate treasure, one needs special care by someone who's really familiar with these kind of vintage guitars. Meanwhile I've send you a PM with already one reference and in this link you'll find the most recognized manouche-luthiers in the world: http://www.djangostation.com/+-Maurice-Dupont-+.html Just click in "Autre luthiers" and you'll find the overview.

milod Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hey Wyoming... Whazza weather like in Powell? We've had a batch of local 8th graders overnighting in Buffalo 'cuz of the snow... Sheesh, in May, who wudda thought? They planned to do whitewater stuff. I don't think so. The "real" whitewater is frozen on I-90! ++++++ ..... Yeah, that old "chorus" is gorgeous. Absolutely. I think I'm turning a shade green from envy. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Just one... the only one right now (well not the only one but the only one that spends everyday out of her case and the only one I actually use on a daily basis). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRIDER Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 My coolest non Gibson is a 1964 Silvertone 1446 made by Harmony. I've had this guitar for nearly 30 years, it is all original and still plays and sounds great. It is rumored that in the 60's Harmony made some of the bodies for Gibson and Gibson supplied the pups. The 1446 came with p90's. The pups, volume and tone pots are static free, just a sweet mellow tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
