L5Larry Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 This is not a new, or original idea. Gibson made a 335 with a Firebird headstock from about '64 - '71, called the Trini Lopez Standard. If you want a 335 with a Firebird headstock that will be reasonably priced, look for one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Hmmmmm.........Yes, L5Larry, but I doubt you would be able to find a '64 Trini-Lopez for under $4,800 - the Patent No. p-ups would be worth that on their own! But if you do happen to find one then please drop me a PM! LOL! Just as a matter of additional info for anyone who hasn't seen one; The Trini-Lopez headstock pointed down in the same fashion as the '66 Firebird, not up like the '63 ones. It had rather unusual elongated diamond-shaped soundholes. It had a rather fancy 'Howard Roberts' style tail-piece. As well as the 'Standard' with the 335-sized 1 3/4" body there was also a Trini-Lopez 'De-Luxe' version with a full 3" body depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 It's a matter of taste, but the Firebird headstock on the 335 body just looks odd to me. I think it's the 'upside down' thing because I do like the Lopez But I really prefer the DeLuxe with the pointy ears Notes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignatius Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Hmmmmm.........Yes' date=' L5Larry, but I doubt you would be able to find a '64 Trini-Lopez for under $4,800 - the Patent No. p-ups would be worth that on their own! But if you [u']do[/u] happen to find one then please drop me a PM! Ask and ye shall receive. . . . Will a 1967 at $3750 do? 1967 Trini Lopez at Gbase.com Or perhaps a 2009 reissue at $2300? 2009 Trini Lopez Reissue at Gbase.com Gbase also has a few Deluxes below $4800. Always glad to be of service. Ignatius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 So was Trini an excellent guitarist? I remember him for singing a few folk songs like 'Lemon Tree' Notes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
