Bluesbirds: Owners & Long Time Borrowers List

[adorshki]

we are busy right now in Afghanistan and the Taliban have declared the start to the fighting season....

I think everybody here'll be agree with me if I say "May the Lord watch over you but help him out a little and be careful out there".
As far as an interactive table, it occurs to me that you may want to check whether or not the forum can support that, before too much effort is invested. And it might be a while before Don (the site founder and administrator) can look at the issue because of the recent move.
Moderator Fronobulax has a bit of insight intio software issues so he may be able to offer suggestions as well.
Having made my contributions now, I'll back off and refrain from adding further clutter to the thread. :wink:

adorshki...
thanks for your good thoughts... definitely appreciated....
as far as the interactive table goes.... i will always keep a simple version so whatever Don and the higher powers think or decide....
we will still have the table.....
what i may do is wind up hosting a site and linking it here..... not an ideal version of the story...but it would work.....
that way if someone just wants the cursory looks or glance at the table....no sweat...done....
if they feel like getting into it a bit....they can hit the link at the bottom and go to the interactive site.....
i will keep playing with it.... like i said it is a great distraction for me.....
ok gotta jam....
rock on

BTW... i dont' mind the "clutter" rock on!

Dennis, Interactive sounds good to me! Tell your IT guy to fire it up!

 

[StanBlues]

Yeah.... we are working on it....
I think that a remote server will be needed though....
We are working on the technical stuff now.... which basically entails me telling him..."hey I want it to do this when I hover over the box.... and then.... do you remember in star wars when they used the 3D holograms of the death star?... yeah... i want it to do that but with a guitar!" his reply...."Sir, you are crazy! let's not get carried away here...." My reply... "Just figure it out Sergeant....! You can do it ... I know you can...."
There are some perks in being the commander!
I don't know if we will get 3D, death star effects.... but well we'll keep at it....

To be honest what we really need is more people to post their Birds!

Be well.. rock on!

2nevets,
It sure looks like a Bluesbird..... again i would have to defer to someone who knows a bit more about your axe....
It is an M-75 but the name is Aristocrat, not Bluesbird..... is there a difference.... ?
Perhaps someone with more experience in this flavor should weigh in here..... It sure as heck looks like one!
Jump in any time here folks!
Do we need to split the M-75's into two models? Any assistance here is greatly appreciated.....
Rock on!

2nevets....
That is a great looking bird for sure.... are you holding out on us or what?
I have seen some of your axes before, but this is sweet!
I will get you on the board and post an update as I am able.....
drop me the serial number and i bet we can figure out the date....
I will list as a 2001 Cherry Sunburst AAA for now... (unless you tell me otherwise....) any other information you have on this one...let me know...

it is amazing to me that they would not have chosen to continue this line....!!! great guitars.....
I know that there is the whole corporate thing with FMIC....etc etc... but dang....these birds are sweet.....
thanks for sharing this one!
Rock on

Sorry I haven't had time to post the latest and greatest.....
Just been busy here in 'stan...... The news is not always good out of these parts of the world....
I have officially filed a complaint that my duties in Afghanistan are seriously interfering with my ability to read and post on LTG!
Of course the complaint is locally filed and no one will give a hoot either way.... but I wanted to get on record!
So my IT guy thinks I am insane..... but we are still working on the the "death-star hologram" features for the BB list....but honestly it could take some time....
so in the interim.. here is the latest ....

Well that is just about the best thing that i have seen all darn day! What a beautiful Bird!
So do we list the Corona Custom Shops differently? Or just post them as AAA tops? I have no idea!
that is a smokey dream.... like a burnt tobacco burst or something.... i mean looking that good it must have a cool name....
You definitely scored! she looks ridiculously clean! So that is two '01's for you now! you are going to have to get another row in the list!
congrats!
she will be on the next update.....
rock on!!!!!

So do we list the Corona Custom Shops differently?

Well, the CM serial numbers which are all made in Corona should be listed different for 2001. Because in 2001 we have both models, Westerly models (like Bluespicky's) and Corona models when production moved there in second half 2001. In 2002 it is all Corona and not Westerly.
Also, as you listed Bluespicky's a AAA as "natural" I would say you should also list my one as natural, not Amber (until we find evidence how a Amber Bluesbird really looked in 2000/2001).

Hello all,

I am a new member here and a new Bluesbird owner as well. I believe mine is a 2002 Bluesbird AAA with an amber finish. Serial #CM 000185. I actually have a few questions I hope can get answered as well. First, Strap Locks? Can you use them on these guitars? I noticed the the button on the bottom has a big tapered thing going on with it. Second question is, does anyone know where I might be able to find a case for these? I would prefer a Guild one, but I can't be too picky.

Here are a few photos of mine.
