I have a 1973 Strat and a german Les Paul copy with golden Grover hardware and Gison humbuckers (there´s only one piece built). I will have to take some photos of it!
Here some photos of my Strat

Again, I'm not a connaisseur, but even I can tell that this guitar is a little jewel belonging to a bygone era of incomparable beauty, a beauty that can not be found anymore in the modern era of i-Phones and Internet.
Great piece of collection, like a slice of solidified old genuine American rock music !
PS: I see that you are an ardent admirer of American pop culture of the 60 '- 70', my friend, which made me very happy !

The great guitar companies are buillding great instruments again. They have the so-called Custom Shops rebuilding their old stuff!
Oh yes - I love the old stuff having played for many years

It looks like a little treasure, I like the color of velvet (case). Totally 70's! You could pose with her!

It is a treasure, indeed and I am thinking about selling it. I saw the prizes people are willing to pay. It is in a great condition, seldomly used, no big scratches, the fingerboard looks nearly virgin, the frets are great. There´s nearly nothing to do, just a bit cleaning...

My fingers are a bit rusted! I should start playing again - it´s a shame...
Thank You very much, Susan

Whoa! Nice. I have a '57 Gibson Les Paul Jr, I am rebuilding the electronics and replacing the strings.

Playing the guitar should be fun to play ..heavy strings make it work..for some of us anyway....?? A440 is not the tuning for a string instrument...it's 432..

A440 is common today, sometimes even up to 443. I have an old tuning fork with about 432 hz and tuning my guitars with this fork makes it much easier!

And it´s an original, not one of the versions Gibson is still building...

It's funny..every guitar has some problem with it....a Strat..sound is too thin.. and won't stay in tune...Wake up fender folks!!! Why put a whammy bar on it..??? We live in the 21st century...

I love my Strat using a fat string set (054-010) and I don´t have problems with the whammy bar

Great sound...but like a les Paul....too heavy...

I know! That´s why I never play it. I am prefering my Strat!

I did for about 25 years. Maybe I will start again at 65... I own two more
Some weeks ago I found out how much people pay for this vintage guitar and I am thinking about selling it (not under 5.000$)
Thank You very much, Melissa

Why not I am sure it was enjoyable for you. If you sell it that would be some nice cash for you

I never sold any vinyl record. I still have my first LP from 1970, saved the vinyl singles I was listening to at the age of 3! I am not sure...
Some months ago I got an offer from a friend wanting to buy my Les Paul hand-made by a small german company with Gibson pickups and golden hardware. As far as I know there´s only one piece ever been built.
I guess I should save them for my son Felix. Maybe someday he will use or sell them for a lot more money...

Wow that is amazing and what LP did you sell I have a few myself.

I sold Johnny Guitar Watson´s "Funk beyond the call of duty" and a double live LP from Wishbone Ash - that´s all. From time to time I buy vinyl stuff (Hendrix at the Miami Pop Festival/2 LP´s a 200g Limited Edition)
