singemonkey Saw this on the Tokai Forum and thought I'd repost for y'all: http://www.latimesmagazine.com/2009/06/50-guitars.html Some very cool guitars. But can anybody spot the FAIL?
[deleted] singemonkey wrote But can anybody spot the FAIL? Do you mean the "Gibstone", or the fact that Bon Jovi advertises that he's from New Jersey on his guitar? ?
racman X-rated Bob wrote Did Brian May really play a Guild? But I thought #25 looked dodgy. As far as I know Brian May played a guitar his father made for him but also played a Guild "replica" of this. I am sure the Guild Brian May model was also available for a limited period. The first Guild BHM1 was introduced in 1984. See here for more info: http://www.brianmaycentral.net/guild.html
Skywalker #11 - You'd need give that thing a shave before you can play with it ? #16 - Prefered Michael Anthony's Jack Daniels bass but this one looks pretty hot too #17 - Sexy ass V. I've always loved these. #26 - Hell yeah!!! #31 - Hell yeah again!!! #36 - Ledgendary. Long live King Edward #45 - Had a cheap-ass black strat copy when I started playing that looked just like this. I'm sorry I sold it 'cos I dug that guitar - I thought I was Clapton back then 8)
singemonkey No. 44 is off Flight of the Concordes - a perfect sitcom for the music lover. You should check it out. Bob's nailed the fail. Can we say why? ?
Skywalker Well spotted Bob. That aint a melody maker is it? Mosrite mehtinks. Not sure what model though!
Skywalker Just checked it out. Looks like this one ??? http://www.mosriteguitars.com/ scroll down to the bottom of the page 8)
singemonkey Skywalker takes it. It's a Mosrite Ventures. Awesome classic guitars. When I was buying a surf guitar you could only get originals that went for crazy money. But they're making new ones in Japan now and they're affordable again.
Renesongs I had a Gibson Melody Maker in 79. The shape was more like #3 than #25 unless all these years of self medication has got the better of me 8)
arjunmenon #36 seems like a minor fail to me, because EVH used his Ibanez Destroyer for Runnin' with the devil. They should have rather mentioned a song like Panama / Jump or Hot for teacher.
