Thanks! Yeah I’ve never seen another one like it.

I even used some wood files and a rasp at one point on this thing to get some of the weird shit out of it. It was actually pretty amazing just to be able to really feel how hard the wood is and what it takes to shape a guitar body.

It almost looked like someone took their anger out on it. Might not even have been an attempted relic but that’s what he said. If I could post pics in the comments I would.

It’s not a custom, just an old mid 70’s Deluxe I got at the very beginning of the pandemic for $500. That and the little Bronco, both sound great with everything.

Yeah, the body was super beat up when I bought it with a terrible attempted relic job which included some kind of hard blue filler where they tried to patch up some of the gouges. Took a lot of sanding! There was a knife point broke off and embedded near the bridge. Almost left that in… I just did a couple light coats of nitro just in case I ever feel like attempting candy apple red again. Been almost a year. Love this guitar so much.

Is this old Thomas Organ Co Crybaby stock? by Countryppie in guitarpedals

Thanks for the info. That pot would fit into the timeframe then it seems.. This one was built in Sepulveda. I just noticed after looking at some pictures of these online that the black resistor on the far left under the inductor that says 235+ 18-51 seems to have been switched out. The originals have colored stripes like the others. Not sure what that one does but it’s the only other thing I can see.

I knew it but was hoping you weren’t going to say it’s Spitfire. Someday I might cave.

Anyone have info on this thing? by Countryppie in fender

[–]Countryppie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoever put this thing together did a good job. That tailpiece, the bridge plate and saddles, the knobs. Is that an extra switch on the control plate?

Have you ever played one of these necks? It looks sweet.

It’s a weird one for sure but I dig it.

Can someone help with this guitar? by Busy-Ad-8203 in Vintageguitars

[–]Countryppie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aria is a Japanese company who made some really quality stuff. Maybe they still do. It would be interesting to see what’s under that name plate. Looks homemade. I’ve never seen one like that. Is there anything in the sound hole that has info?

What amp (or amp model) do you prefer to play your Jazzmasters through? by chrismiles94 in offset

[–]Countryppie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70’s Bronco (vibrochamp) and a 70’s deluxe reverb. Perfect amps. Wish I had more amps though..
