    It would be interesting to see the guitars in a "lineup" sometime.. with Mark providing descriptions of them.. from the earliest models through to the later years and how they have evolved over time. I always enjoyed playing the the thin neck/wide nut Juniors with the extra frets.

      That’s awesome! It shows the inconsistency of 70’s Fenders. I have a ‘74 Strat in natural blond finish. It’s about 7.5 lbs. I also have a ‘77 Strat that is almost 9 lbs. Both sound great, but I prefer the ‘74. Enjoy the vintage vibe. You now have the vintage guitar fever!

      They put out a pretty cool one last year, you should look it up if you like this guitar, it was basically this in TV yellow with a tortoise guard. Of course they discontinued it for 2019, but it's probably possible to still find a few unsold new ones.

    The Les Paul Special did become the SG Special - 2 P-90's, bound neck, dot inlays but no crown on
    the head piece, just the GIbson scroll on top, and an SG body. The SG Specials they market as such
    today are nothing like these beauties from The 60's. P-90's rule.

      Oh and it’s very doubtful anything this clean/ in-demand would hang around for a month, much less a year. BUT - it could have easily sold a year ago but have come back in on trade, or have been traded and wound up at a show or a collection where Norm was on the hunt - So this could be the exact same guitar. Entirely feasible.

    • @HBSuccess
      @HBSuccess 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ok I went back and looked. It does look. very similar but the fade pattern around the bridge is slightly different . And it was in a different case. That means nothing bc vintage cases are also hot sellers. It could have been sold separately. What was the same is Mark’s leather jacket and zippers LOL.
