Have a 1967 black 335 that looks like this one...



This ^^^ is a 1971 on Reverb for $15,750

Also have two Les Paul Deluxes, one is a 1978 natural and the other is a 1979 black.




Also have a 1982 Fender Strat Sunburst that I have modded with the blend circuit and Seymour Duncan vintage Strat pickups, had it refretted with jumbo frets years ago when I was in my SRV wannabe daze.

I got several other guitars that are kinda interesting, one is a 1980 ES335 with Dirty Finger pickups....that guitar is a fricking monster.

Here's a pic from an internet search of this^^^ guitar...

1963 Epiphone ES-335 and a 1965 Fender Super Reverb amp (Blackface)

Guitar was my Dad’s and amp was my Grandfather’s. Both were Full Gospel ministers that liked to jam. Song Service was definitely the best part of Sunday morning Church growing up.


The Epiphone is probably called a Sheraton, or maybe a Riviera... and it's probably valuable!

Reverb: Epiphone Sheraton Sunburst 1965

If it's the Epiphone version of the Gibson ES-330 it's called a Casino.

Made in the same factory as Gibsons back then, side by side, great guitars.

The only true "Golden Age Vintage" guitar I have is this humble 1965 Gibson SG Special.

I had a 1968 Rickenbacker 4001 bass but I had to pawn it in college to pay the electric bill one gig-less winter break and... I don't want to talk about it.

I have some old guitars... some 70s and 80s and 90s and 00s guitars, some that have gotten expensive, but I don't consider them "vintage."

Can’t afford the birth year Rolex I want. So I bought a birth year Martin D35. Fortunately I’m younger than than the BRW restrictions. 1973 D35
