Gorgeous guitars, guys! Love that Autumnglo 480.... and the flamey maple on that Capri is amazing. 
Re: Fireglo in Autumn
The converter on the left has a stunning fireglo, as does the capri!

Why Did the old accent vibratos have those parallograms on them?
Re: Fireglo in Autumn
That parallogram is actually a "badge" affixed to the VB that identifies it as "Ac'cent by Paul," which is a reference (I believe) to Paul Barth. Maybe he invented it or had something to do with it. Or maybe there was another "Paul." That I don't know.IvanMunoz wrote:Why Did the old accent vibratos have those parallograms on them?
The "badge" disappeared from the Accent VB around 1963/64. If I can find a close up photo of one I'll post it.
