This may be the powder blue guitar posted elsewhere on the forum, with Jim Reeves and his band.
Wow. Let's dream.

Re: Jim Reeves - Give Me This Guitar!
I think I've seen that guitar around here somewhere . . .
PS By "here" I mean, of course, the RRF . . .

Take a number, pal. 
Re: Jim Reeves - Give Me This Guitar!
Here's a thread from 2008 on which the Blue Boy Reeves acoustic is discussed in some detail.

What a great line up of instruments. The back line of amps is not too shabby either.

Re: Jim Reeves - Give Me This Guitar!
That BB with police car blue accessories is quite garish.
Its original BB/gold livery is keener, IMO.
The Japanese show replica is in the hands of a Forumite in the USA, following a restoration I did on it several years ago. I also built a 12er in maple to match it.
This color is one of my faves, but can be an acquired taste...

Would that Blue on Blue color scheme be much like the butterscotch Fenders...special for early television technology?
Re: Jim Reeves - Give Me This Guitar!
I used to have one of these mics!

Very cool, what type is it?
Re: Jim Reeves - Give Me This Guitar!
Western Electric 639B ribbon microphone. I have some recordings that I did with it in the early '80s. Since these have a figure-8 pickup pattern I used two bass amps for the recordings, facing each, other with the mic in between them. One amp was my old rack system with a greenface Furman PQ-3 preamp and Crown D-150A power amp into a 2-12 Bullfrog guitar cabinet, the other was my former Traynor YSR-1 Custom Reverb amp into a rear loaded folded horn I built with a JBL 2225 driver in it. For one song I used the tremolo on the YSR-1 along with the clean sound of the rack amp. These recording were all done with the 4005WB that was sporting either D'Addario XLs or Reds.
