Members bigconig Posted November 27, 2007 Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 I had a Sears SD Curlee from the 80s. I wish I could find another for sentimental reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Prages Posted November 27, 2007 Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 One of my best friends growing up had the Sears EVH guitar. It was a royal POS. My first electric guitar was also from Sears. It was a Dean 'Firecrackle'. I'd love to see pics of the catalog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members V-Type Posted November 27, 2007 Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 I still have my 1980 Magnum LP Custom Bolt on mess. ' alt='>'> Holy crap does it require a lot to play. the Blond finish Looks cool though. And that Pointy guitar pic'd above is the same as a local signed guy had in the late 80's. Except his was Cort I believe but a dead ringer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J.B. Lee Posted November 27, 2007 Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 Gotta love the $100 Prince-style knockoff tele. Even the crap post-lawsuit Hohners are going for 10 times that much now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Prages Posted November 27, 2007 Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 Damn, I just found a site that is selling these old catalogs for $40-$80 a pop. When I was a kid my mom had at least 10 years worth of those from Sears and J.C. Penny in a box in her closet. Wonder if she's still got them.

Members Prages Posted November 27, 2007 Members Share Posted November 27, 2007 I do believe the EVH is from '87 or '88 because my friend got his a year before I got my first electric guitar, and I'm pretty sure that was in '89. BTW, the trem on that Strat is the exact same trem that was on the Dean Firecrackle. It's like a very cheap Kahler knock off. It had ball bearings in it and one side of the ball bearings busted and fell out of mine after a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
