Let's see your GUITAR!

[ponyteeth]

My VMJM.



Changed the knobs and pick guard, added a Mastery bridge. Wired it so that the old rhythm circuit now controls the gold foil

[Disarm D'arcy]

Super nice! Matching headstock, sonic blue and tort

The gold foil must sound terrific in there and it's a nice use for the rythm circuit knobs

Cheers guys. It's a Third Eye Guitar - they were (are?) a subsidiary of Custom 77 - I grabbed it a couple of years ago in a massive sale they did to prevent bankruptcy - they said it was B-Stock because the maple cap was twice the thickness it should be or something haha

Epic accidental stumble upon NGD! it's a 1965 Silvertone 1448 guitar and amp-in-case! I was out doing errands in the burbs (getting costume stuff!) and stopped by a used/consignment shop to look around. I noticed a small guitar case between two shelves in the back of the store so I pulled it out to find this beauty. Crazy part is It was $47, given it was pretty gross and the action was real bad but 30 minutes of cleaning and a quick bridge/neck tilt adjustment and this thing good to go! I think I may order an isolation transformer and get the amp going as well...

That thing looks awesome, and that is a steal! I saw someone selling one of those locally last week, such a rad looking guitar, and the amp case is just the cherry on top. Nice find.

[Aquietcabin1978]

Wow that is one helluva score, it looks almost brand new!!

[repoman]

Super cool

how does the amp sound?

[imJonWain]

I haven't tried it out yet. I don't think I'm gonna try it out until I clean it up/rewire it, there is a fairly good shock chance with this thing haha. There's no power transformer in it, the AC line runs to a rectifier tube and then to the other tubes in series, using the tubes themselves and resistors inline to drop the voltage, there's also no "ground" as its wired on hot/neutral wires.

[kosta]

What a score. Damn.

[hbombgraphics]

that's one of the best thrift deals I have seen in a long time


as someone who has gotten bit by old amps before you are probably right to make sure it is safe before plugging it in
