That ES-120T looks funky!

 

 

A friend of mine had one when he was a kid that he dug out of his basement. I cleaned it up and played it for a sort of important gig I had. I thought it was pretty {censored}ty, but quirky enough to own. then he told me that he was gonna cut me a deal and sell it to me for only $1500. Whatevs! It wasn't THAT cool.

 

It was sort of a cowboy guitar. This body, like 1 1/2" deep. The one with the p90 is way better. that melody maker pickup and the 3/4" thick "pickguard" thing kinda sucked. It doesn't have an f-hole on that side, so you can't just scrap the PG and screw a real pickup on it.

Ah yes -- with the soft-focus of many years the detritus from the nadir of the CBS/Norlin era become highly sought vintage items. Perhaps I've lived too long...
:facepalm:

 

They were still building them pretty well in '70, though. Still had mahogany necks and they hadn't yet gotten into those horrible clownbursts.

 

Anyone ever seen or played a Crest?
