Random Eye Candy ...

Here is my blonde 2000 X-170T

 

[Kslam]

Self-serving addendum: I'm thinking of selling. Interested parties are welcome to get in touch...

BB, that is a good looking Starfire! I'm sure if you do decide to sell, someone here will grab it.

I sure love that single-pup 'McCarty' CA 100... what a classy rig!

1991 Starfire 4 and 2000 X-170

2003 Bluesbird

Barney Kessel jamming on an X-500

The Bluesbird is for sale if anyone is interested...just don't use it much given my current jazz kick.

Aloha Joe - that's a nice-looking Emerald Star, and a nice photo. Are those cloud inlays custom? They look Epiphone. I had an Emerald SF III and it was really tough (for me anyway) to get the color to photograph. It always looked black. Mine was a '70 w/ original DeArmonds and with a very beat finish but I sold it. The neck was too slim and it made my hand hurt.

Anyway, here's some more eye candy - I finally found and bought an X550P last year:

 

[NEONMOONY]

Gotta like the X550. :mrgreen:

I love that X550 Jeff, and thanks for the kind words! The inlays were done by the original owner, a friend and band-mate who passed 2 years ago. They were intended as a replacement set for a late 40s Epiphone Deluxe but ended up in this Starfire many years ago. The neck is quite slim, but perfect for me.

Littlesongs, how come both of those have Gibson P90's?

 

[skinny]

Here's one you may have seen already :wink:

[littlesongs]

Littlesongs, how come both of those have Gibson P90's?

They have matching covers. One has the original Franz and the other a P90. Carla had a warped white cover replaced by the previous owner. Carol was the victim of a horrible humbucker kludge. Billy Budapest rescued it and his tech installed a custom P90.

 

[Walter Broes]

OK. Is that a Sano amp?

 

[littlesongs]

OK. Is that a Sano amp?

Yes. It's a '66 25WR. Treem and I owe you guys a Sano thread with sound samples. 8)

Old picture, so I owe you all a new one of those too.

Truly enjoying the eye candy!

Dipping into the Guild 'ancestor' collection, here is a 1949 Epiphone Broadway. This is a great, all carved 17" guitar that sounds great acoustically and plugged in w the old DeArmond floater. These shared a lot of features with the early Guilds that followed and are great for anything from Freddie Green to Duke Robillard.

Her sister is this 1947 Epiphone Triumph. A bit less bling on this model, but the same fully carved 17" body, long scale and big sound. I LOVE this guitar!
