wow oh wow...... That Gretsch has such a Beatles vibe to it!!!! Beautiful!!!! Way to go, farseer!!!!!

Well, I have noticed that all guitars so far posted have round necks Thought I'd post a Square neck......

I found this in, of all places, Kamuning about three Christmases ago, in one of the antique shops there.....

a Star Lapsteel..... Unfortunately, absolutely NO info about it on the net, not even on the brand......

Thanks for looking!!!!

Chum

ive a feeling i know that thrift shop in kamuning..

Thanks delta...... not really like looking for bin laden,

, i guess i was just lucky at that time......

mahavishnu, i bet you know which one i'm talking about.... the shop is owned by a chinese guy who hand makes knives as a hobby..... the lapsteel was burried under a lot of junk at that time, on the second floor of the shop.... he has since closed down the second floor........ its the one near the petron and caltex stations......

Greg mon, still haven't received your pm..... pls resend, thanks......

'78 Professional 2671

i'd love to get my hands on of of these...

too bad, i only have her younger cousin:

it sounds and feels very far from the lawsuit ibbys....

Chum · « **Reply #156 on:** March 18, 2007, 10:04:08 PM »

Actually, that there's a very nice guitar, bro...... I've tried one out at one of the Audiophile branches, and they rock..... very nice neck, hell of a looker too...... am actually thinking of getting one myself..... Although i would change the pickups later, maybe to Seymour Duncans...... I think they will age very well....... just take care of it........... Cheers, bro....

thanks chief!

actually, i already changed the bridge pickups to a dimarzio fred.

ibby artists are nice guitars, specially the lawsuit era ones.

Hi to all.....

I took some new pics of my favorite at the moment...... This is a Tokai Springy Sound.... looks to be a '79 model.....

A few views of the back..... I just love the three-color sunburst on this thing.....

The neck has the skunk stripe..... And here's a view of the headstock......

The pickups and controls..... These are what came with the guitar, i haven't changed anything (well, except for Schaller Security Strap Locks).... The pickups are the stock "U" pickups..... very bluesy sounding.....

And here's a front view shot....

Thanks for looking......

Hi to all!!!

Here's a guitar i gave away..... well sort of, its my brother's main acoustic now.... a Morris F-13....

From the label, it was made in 1974....

Here's a shot of the compensated bridge; set up was done by Doc Arie.....

I didn't like the original machine heads, so i had Doc Arie install these Martin style machineheads..... Much, much better, and with a strong Martin vibe......

My two year old daughter iola could not resist posing for a pic..... lucky kid, she gets all my guitars when i pass on....... Many many years from now, of course

Thanks for looking!!!

mas type ko yung greco

Quote from: grecoslave on March 03, 2007, 11:52:43 PM

my oldest guitar was a Greco SA 500 hollowbody now owned by a Jazz player from laguna.

i put the money from that sale into a Yamaha SA 700 supposedly from the 70's too

voodoosoup · « **Reply #166 on:** April 30, 2007, 02:49:08 PM »

here's another guitar supposedly from the 70's. its a washburn raven sb5. though di na siya all stock at the time of this pic. napalitan na ng Pups at machine heads.sorry isa lang pic i lost this axe in a bus accident four years ago.

R.I.P.

Chum · « **Reply #167 on:** April 30, 2007, 08:48:20 PM »

Bugoy, beautiful Yamaha mon, ganda talaga!!!!!

voodoo, so sorry you lost that Washburn..... You know, i had a double cutaway Epiphone a while back; the cutaways weren't as sharp as the Washburn in your pic, but it also had 3 knobs like your guitar...... Sayang, i wasn't able to photograph it while it was still with me, but i remember it was a very heavy guitar, what with all the wood.......

here's my contribution.

it's an early seventies " pre-tokai" brand. Gaban was their first name and they were good at making gibson copies. The logo even looks like a gibson from afar. Weird looking on a strat don't you think? Even the nut is shaped like a gibson. String spacing is also gibsonesque.
And when i had jun castro check the wood, he told me that the wood is probably Korina.

the neck feels like a bat! multi piece. birdseye fingerboard. multipiece neck ala ibanez wizard( although it looks like they were made the neck out of spare maple scrap. nevertheless the three pieces of wood at the back helped in keeping this old neck straight these past few decades). very comfortable in the upper registers.

looks like a strat but as heavy as a les paul.

Kulas · « **Reply #169 on:** April 30, 2007, 09:27:38 PM »

ayan na pala si gaban! hindi ko na-recognize ah, hehehe. ano pickups nyan bro? and what changes did you make? so far nakikita ko yung pickups, pickguard, knobs, bridge, refin, hehe.

markey · « **Reply #170 on:** May 01, 2007, 05:32:55 AM »

sir ganda ng guitar nyo magkano score nyo jan. ano gamit mong guage na string. kase 10 ung gamit ko sa gibson ko n studio. sir advice naman kung ano mas magada na guage. kse guto ko 10 pero parang mataas ung action nya thank.

Hi to all!!! Very nice guitars, bugoy and Taoistguitarist…….

I thought I’d post this here as well:
Here’s a guitar I gave away to my bro (Master Windu here)….. a Fender Mustang……

As you can see from the pics, this guitar very well qualifies as a Relic…… Very heavy Stevie Ray Vaughan vibe…….

When I got this guitar, the pickups were stock, but very weak….. My bro changed these to Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro strat pickups……..

Here’s a shot of the trem….. It took a can of WD-40 and two hours worth of scrubbing with a steel brush to get most of the rust off….. But I think it turned out quite well……

Here’s a shot of the neck…… very heavy wear on the upper registers, the wailing zones…..

Thanks for looking!!!!
