Dandelion Powderman, w/o the beard you look a bit like John Lennon. LOL

I think I must've been high; very high. Hahah..

Okay I re-reamend. You DO look like Lennon w/o the beard. I was going back in the thread and now saw the pic of why I originally wrote that.

My Gibson Melody Maker.

I love this guitar.

I modded it myself.

Can you guess what I did?

I was just looking at this thread and saw my post from '06. Alot of my collection from that post is gone now. About 3-4 years ago, I decided to start upgrading my gear. I kept a few a upgraded the electronics. Got rid of most of the cheaper ones and replaced them with better guitars. Now my collection looks more like this:

1998 Epiphone Firebird (Sunburst) with Duncan Antiquity II pickups and Gibson pots, wire to master tone and volume control. Tuners have been replaced.
1999 MIM Standard Strat (Midnight Wine Red) with Fender Custom Shop '54 Strat pickups and Warmoth nitro-finished maple neck with "Clapton" V-shaped profile. Wired to volume and master tone controls.
2001 Epiphone Les Paul Standard (Cherry Sunburst) with Gibson Burstbucker III and I pickups, and Gibson pots wired to master volume and tone controls.
Morgan Monroe "Bean Blossum" Resonator (Sunburst)
Fender CD60-CE Acoustic/Electric (Natural)
Alvarez RD10 Acoustic Guitar (Natural)
2009 Fender Road Worn '50's Strat (Sunburst) with Duncan Antiquity I pickups and lowered frets.
2010 Fender American Vintage '57 Strat (Black) 5-way switch installed.
2007 Fender Custom Shop '56 Time Machine Strat Relic (Sunburst) 5-way switch installed.
2010 Gibson Custom Shop ES-335 Satin Finish (Antique Red or Cherry or whatever)
Squier Bronco Bass (Red)
2010 Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III Amplifier
Peavey Classic 50 410 Amplifier
Vox AC4TV Amplifier
Marshall "Guv'nor" Overdrive Pedal
Dunlop Crybaby Wah Pedal
Vox Wah Pedal

not sure how to post pics but I have a collection of guitars amps and other stuff. I have a rosewood tele from 1969/70 like George Harrison (found in NYC) and an 68 ES 345 as well as a five strats and four resonators...I have played for more than 30 years and I have not sold a guitar in 25 years so the collection is large.

Don't know what you mean exactly, but I own them now, that's what counts for me.

But given to the date (Acoustics 1909, 1937, 1943 and Electrics 1951, 1952, 1976) they were made I would definitely say no...hahaha

By "original owner" I meant the first owner...ya know, the person that purchased the instrument when it was new.

I don't know your age btw so I'd have no way of knowing if the guitars are older than you are. Regardless though, it's an enviable collection. Love to have a batch like that myself.

Awesome man. I love those maple neck '50's Strats. I'm not crazy about rosewood fretboards on Fenders. I don't mind it on Gibsons or other guitars, but on Fender's I just much prefer the look of a maple neck.

What years are those from? One of those sunburst Strats looks like it might be closer to a 3 tone sunburst.

Thanks! They are from '54, '59 and '61. The '59 is a 3 tone sunburst refin (as of '58, sunburst Strats were 3 tone, although with the earlier versions the red was photo-reactive and faded quickly, so many '58s and '59s look like 2 tone sunbursts).

I suck. No play. No guitar. But soon Keith signed one >< then I start learning

Woof! One pre '58, one '58 or '59 and one '59-'61. Did I get the dates about right?

Exactly - well done (assuming you hadn't read my last post, that is...)!

I had not! I'm a keen guitar enthusiast!

Wow! A '54! The first year of production! What serial number is it, may I ask?

It's a June '54 one. Its serial number is 0255 (on the neck plate, as opposed to the trem cover, which would have been the case for the very first few Strats produced).

So cool. Love to be able to play a '54. Just out of curiousity, how would you characterize the feel of the neck? Strats from '56 and '57 had the V-shape profile and some of them I think were rather large ("boat-neck"). I'm thinking in '54 they didn't have a definite neck shape.

Also, that '59 must be from relatively early in the year because it's got a maple neck. Most pics of '59's that I see have rosewood boards.
