    I have several similarly unique guitars available.

    Choose whichever serial # you prefer at order time.

    These beauties hand crafted in Taiwan offer amazing value at a mere $1500

    I can't say fairer than that.

    It seems like that guitar has a press agent.

    Go Figure.

    Bapu has a 0001 bass.
    Steve has a 0001 Strat hybrid.
    Grant has a 0001 Tele hybrid.

    And there's no questions about that.
    David doesn't know what he missed out on. :)

    Hi,
     
    Even more interesting, I would imagine, is the list of equipment used by David in all the albums ... now let's see if you can find that piece on that Hignosis picture in Ummaguma!

    As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

    There's more truth in this post than first hits the eye.

    If I had a guitar made out of Henry VIII's favourite feasting table would its heritage be apparent to anyone other than the person that owned it?

    Besides unlike a Spacey guitar this one has cigarette burns....eeewwww

    That is a great site for Gilmour fans. I've worked on lots of Fender gear from the 50's and workers always leave something behind.

    Most of the old tweed amps will have a piece of masking tape inside the chassis. IF you look closely there will be a name written in pencil. Maria, Lupi and Rosa are all names I've seen in tweed Twin amps. Guitars have their own names, but I've never seen a mans name in an amp.

    A customer has a 54 strat with serial number 0013 on the neck plate. We used pics of that and his 55 Deluxe amp on one of his album covers. My only album credits have been that cover art and some technical credits.

    But I digress. Sorry, I have to get out more.

    Bapu has a 0001 bass.
    Steve has a 0001 Strat hybrid.
    Grant has a 0001 Tele hybrid.

    So Grant and Steve's run on batteries when idling?
