Peter, cool guitar and a great shot of you "doing your thing."

All the pics are interesting to see. Tony is really wailing in that last one.

I've got to learn how to post pics, this is a cool thread.

Here's a faded pic of our band in 1965. I was playing a 375 with gold pickguard TV knobs etc all factory installed.

Like many of you I am old now, but not quite as ugly as some. lol

Great picture, Brian!

I am guessing you've lost track of that GORGEOUS guitar?

winston · Post by **winston** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 6:22 pm

Yes. Unfortunately along with my 1964 360/12 they both disappeared in the winds of time. Gone but they are not forgotten. We played many gigs together. But I do have very able replacements so all is not lost. I hope who ever has them loves them like I did.

Guitar?? I wanna know where those pants are!!

Not sure where the pants went. Probably the same place socks go when they disappear from a dryer. There must be an alternate universe out there where there are a whole pile of orphan socks and clothes that went quickly out of style. lol

Yeh somebody has my both of my guitars and yet another person has my 1963 JMI British Vox AC30 that I brought with me to Canada from England in 65. Life is full of twists and turns.

Is that a big 'ol Hofner bass the other gent is playing?

winston · Post by **winston** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 9:46 pm

Yes. I dont recall the model number but it was a very popular bass in the 60's in England. Our bass player switched to a Gibson EB3 shortly after the picture was taken. The Other fellow is playing a Hagstrom. He also had a Gibson ES335.

I also had (dare I say it) a Les Paul. Always had trouble with intonation until I figured out that it was not set up from the factory like it should have been. My Ric's were bullet proof. Best guitars made then and now.

My "new to me" '01 4003 in Desert Gold that I picked up at the Philly guitar show.

Nice bass Ken. Thanks for letting us see the Desert Gold. A difficult finish to photograph.

Thanks, Peter. The color almost washed out in that pic, though. I like this finish because it's borderline beige, not like my 'bullion gold' ES-335 (and it's a very close match to my wife's Honda Accord that they call Desert Beige).

Andrew,

I found my pants. The bass player from the Kinks must have taken them See "Couple of cool Kinks photos thread" LOL
