Show off Your Guitars

[kentuckyklira]

While the hardware on Asian Washburns from back then was not the most durable ever!



Damn die cast trem! Sweet guitar, otherwise.

K kentuckyklira, I'm both in awe and extremely impressed with your collection. How many axes do you have?

Speaking of Wayne Charvel, have you done any business with Wayne's Guitars? I'm curious about their products. I purchased a neck from them but the deal went sour for numerous reasons. Still, I haven't written off using them again YET...

Thanks.

Also, do you use Floyd's at all? If so, I'd like to discuss them with a man of your guitar education.

Around 75. I keep buying and selling so I´m never too certain.

As your experience implies,

I´ve heard good things and bad things about them. I must admit that I´ve never done any business with them myself though.

The ESPs and the Tokai weren´t enough?

Fernandes The Function from pre lawsuit days



Fernandes The Function from early post lawsuit days with rare reversed headstock



1988 Fender HM Strat, Made in USA

Dang dude, neat stuff...

I like those late 70's Stratocasters and that Antigua Tele...

HOLY MOLY!!!

I remember thos HM (Heavy Metal) Strats with the Floyds!!! WOW!!! All I'm sayin' is my 1987 Floyd is a dream and indestructable. However, the new ones leave a lot to be desired.

I remember when I got the Antigua. That was back in the days of classified ads. The guy on the phone, some sports student jock, was all,

"oh, it´s a nice guitar, just the finish is real ugly, so don´t be disappointed when you see it"

and when I got to his place I see it´s an Antigua and I almost crap my pants, and then say,

"yeah, you´re right, that looks pretty hideous. But, as I´m a collector, I´ll give you 600 German Marks for it (with case mind you)"!

He said OK. That was about 300 $.

Get Schallers, Made in Germany and built to be punished!

Just in case you were getting bored, I came home to find my latest purchase waiting for me.

Yamaha RGX420 Drop6. Not quite a baritone, but longer scale than a Strat.

[cdwillis]

That one Fernandes model is called the Revolver. They make three or so different versions of it.

Nice collection BWT.

Should I buy this ??




I have two scalloped Fender Jap necks that could go on it...

That shade of blue is my favorite color. You never can have too many Strats. Go for it!

[kentuckyklira]

Here´s the story behind my moniker BTW!

A 1967 (the year I was born) Klira (German guitar co. from back in the days), model´s called Kentucky.

Cool guitar. I've always like that shape. It would be cool to see that with a floyd rose instead of the crazy trem.

*bump*

Cos my friend Elvis still has yet to tell me how he can tell the difference between USA Strats and Japanese ones from the mid eighties?

Cool.

Cool.

The "Made in USA" vs. the "Made in Japan" decal is usually quite a hint!

It´s usually just above the neck joint on the back of the neck on the Japanese ones.
