Tim's Crockenbacker 360F's (2 of 4 that he has). Good copies, never seen a replica of these before:   | ||

Here are some photos of a gennie 360F for comparison:   I was fooled at first glance, but John clued me in. You can spot some differences: Tailpiece, pickguard, missing catseye sound holes. Also, the binding on Tim's guitars seems a bit thick? | ||

Is that a Gretsch tailpiece on the red guitar? | ||

Yup. Good catch. | ||

If they are Replibackers (and it seems the lack of the catseye sound hole is the most glaring thing) then they're not the first 'shonkies' over here - heard of Christopher Skase, Alan Bond, John Elliott?? | ||

I'm not sure that is the best reference Paul -> I'm fairly certain that is the prototype and has a few features that are unique and not found on the 'regular' 360Fs - the long soundhole for example.... Here are some pictures of his Crockenbacker 12:   | ||

Here are some more pictures of the 'red' Crockenbacker. It certainly has a soundhole... :    What gives it away: - The headstock is too long and the wrong shape. - The inlays are 'wrong' - The angle of the headstock is 'wrong', you can see it in the shot of the back of the headstock. | ||

For those that can't find the soundhole on the red one:  | ||

Yep, John, you're right again. Proportionally, the red one looks like a Gretsch, but with strange detailing. Wonder who built 'em? | ||
