Hey all, I'm potentially going to buy a 1966 ES-345 from a seller on ebay. The guitar looks great, nice and worn in. The only detail that's throwing me off is the presence of a bit of red paint inside one of the f-holes... Do any of the experts have an opinion on this? Could it be a sign of a...

I may have a chance to buy an early 69 custom in the next few weeks and I'm wondering where the market is for these right now... I've been told its a one piece neck, one piece body with transitional tenon. As usual the ones I see for sale seem to be unrealistically expensive and nothing seems...

Sold!

Scamming on a whole new level. Even if this was a '63 the fact that this "expert" couldn't or didn't pick up on something as simple as witch hat knobs is sad. http://newyork.craigslist.org/fct/msg/2924779028.html

Does anyone know where I can find an original '60s wide bevel 330 pickguard? These things seem impossible to find!

I'm in the market for an early 1965 SG Standard but I'm having trouble determining what a fair price for one would be right now. It seems that the dealers are asking way too much and no one is buying... Anyone have any thoughts on the current market value of a 65 with a wide neck and maybe...

Hey all, just wondering if you have any advise in terms of a good 5k-ish investment in some old wood. I'm looking for something with humbuckers and so far my search has led me in the direction of late '60s es-3xxs and LPs. I'm not a fan of narrow nuts and obviously am willing to put up with...

A friend of mine is looking at picking one of these up and was wondering what a fair price would be at the moment. I haven't seen it but he said it's in near mint condition.

Anybody else notice this on the gibson site... http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/ES.aspx

Not sure if they are original but they came out of a late '60s bandmaster cab... code 465-621 any clue?

Anybody know if black was a finish that was offered on Deluxes in '74? There is one for sale locally and I'm trying to figure out if it is a refin. BTW what do you think a reasonable price would be in this market?

Can anyone identify these speakers? I got them in a late 60s bassman cab. I know they are not original, but I have no idea what they are.

Can anyone help me identify this case. I just picked it up yesterday and from the research I have done I think it is a late '60s gibson es case. What I'm not sure about is the fact that there is no gibson badge or marking anywhere on the case. Also note that it doesn't fit my 335 perfectly...

I picked up a Marshall 4x12 today for a good price and need help dating the thing. It has been stripped of its tolex and it only has 3 speakers, but my guess is that it is late 70s era. The codes on the "Made In England" greenbacks read: 04LA T1511 28KA T1511 02MA T1511 sorry for the...

I love playing my '07 R8, but one issue is driving me crazy. The guitar has serious issues staying in tune. I am pretty good at setups, and I usually use a bit of lube on all the string contact points, but this doesn't seem to solve the problem as it has on all my other guitars. Oddly enough...
