Lets See All Them Axes

[Kyle85318531]

NICE AXES! 42... Wow.

 

[Fred Sanford]

:guitar: I Sold a couple amps n guitars, but we have 42 guitars left. My FAV is the KAY Red Devil (Eric Clapton used one just like it in his early days). I also have guitars for my Daughter (the perple Strat) and have a couple without strings that Im still working on.... I LOVE them ALL...MJ:guitar:

Very nice - when I reached the three dozen mark, I realized I just couldn't keep them all ready to play at once. Too much maintaining, not enough playing. I trimmed down below 20 and it's much easier to manage, but I miss many of the ones that have gone away. :tears:

Nice assortment, some real interesting toys there.

Here are my 2 guitars. The quilted Maple one is a Charvel San Dimas 4
It is a pretty rare guitar that sold in the mid 90's and was the top of their line that was made in the USA. It's original msrp was IIRC $2400.

She's plain, but she's survived almost 70 years in excellent condition. Even the pots are clean. 1940/41 National "Chicago":

It's the type example on this National page, though they seem to think the finish has been stripped and I can't convince them otherwise. It's never been touched. http://www.notecannons.com/

 

[Onkwood]

There's been a few others over the years, but here's 3 of the 4 I have now...

Aria Pro II RS Knight Warrior:

I've owned the Aria since new (1985) and will never part with it.
Yngwie Malmsteen played one of these while in the band "Alcatrazz".

Ovation Celebrity Deluxe CC-247:

Also owned since new (early 90's). Fastest acoustic neck. Period.

Agile AL-2000 Black Cherry:

Picked this up at Rondo when they still had the brick-n-mortar.
Intonation was tricky to get right, but she growls like a Les Paul. :guitar:

I also have a Fender CG-5 classical around here somewhere.

Oops, forgot the desktop man-cave rack...

Did Kurt close the store?

Did Kurt close the store?

J.R.

Yeah... at least a year ago, if not two. He runs the whole internet/ebay business out of somewhere in New England now. Sucks that the store is gone (there was all kinda eye candy in there), but it looks like he's doing just fine without it - the Agiles sell out very quickly.

Nice Aria. Have you checked out the Matsumoku forum? I scanned a bunch of old ads & reviews & posted them there.

Yes, in fact I just recently discovered that site. Great job on the scans. :thmbsp:

Gotta love the 80's, eh? -

Since that picture, I finally got around to installing new tuning pegs on the original Kluson open-plate tuners and restringing it. Now I just need to learn how to play...

Introduce yourself there, if you haven't already. I'm one of the mods, but more Vantage than Aria experience here. Only one Aria in the house right now, but 5 or 6 Vantages.

Done. :thmbsp:

MJ took YEARS to get all of them....:thmbsp:

I found the # for the Guitar, the NICKNAME was RED DEVIL, BUT the model # is K592 made in 1964 by Kay, the other old red one is a early Gibson made in Kalamazoo Mich, It is the KG! by Kalamazoo (Gibson) and is perfect. I have 4 Bass guitars that I cant Identify as of yet. 2 look like VERY old Fenders, 1 looks like an SG and the last is an Old 50s or 60s Washburn, I believe. Ill get some close up pics, and maybe someone could help me Identify them. I also got in the "deal" 3 classical acostics, 1 from france in the late 1800s, 1 from Italy and the last I have NO clue. See a buddy offered me 9 guitars for $500, 2 Being Feder Strats, 1 American1 Mex, So I said sure...anyone whold haveAlso included was a Ovation With hardshell case, (thats the gray Ovation) we called Ovation with all the numbers and the said that it was a Special made 1 off (the color) and I forget the model # of that one. But I reallly got a deal. thanks ...MJ...:thmbsp:
