Members rider of time Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 That seems pretty reasonable for that. I'm on a lap top and the pics dont show too well. Looks like it could be a 67? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members docjeff Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 Steven Stills almost had Davy Jones' role in that group. I forget the particulars, but thank GOD he got turned down. Buffalo Springfield forever. Oh, and the guitar looks like a POS. The Gretsches from that period were a hit and miss affair, and this one is missing the key ingredient that would make it a collector's item.

Members Edward Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 Originally posted by g0lp Man, what ever happend to those guys --- any of them stay in music? AFAIK Peter and Mike - who were the musicians to begin with (Davy was an actor, though he did have a musical theatre background, IIRC, he played the artful dodger in oliver at one point; Mickey was an actor with some singing experience too - he later became a good drummer) - stayed in the music business. Can't remember what Mickey did. Davy went back into tV work. I saw them on their 1997 reunion tour - the only reunion they've ever done which featured all four of them. It was cooooool.

Stills looked too much like a real musician...not like a British twerp stereotype wannabe (no offense, Declan McManus) that the producers knew would sell, Sell, SELL to the US bubblegum audience!!!

Members docjeff Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 When I was 12, I had this wierd homoerotic thing for Davey Jones, and I was jealous of Marcia Brady. Then I found my Dad's stash of Playboys and fell in love with the Girl from UNCLE--Stefanie Powers. I have not had a homoerotic thought since.

Members guitarcapo Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 Mike Nesmith's mom didn't invent White Out. She invented LIQUID PAPER. I know it hurts to be pwn3d. You may slink away. Mike Nesmith wrote that song "Different Drum" That Linda Ronstandt sang with the Stone Ponies. Not to shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wedgehed II Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 I once saw a program on PBS about primates using objects from their natural surroundings as tools for gathering food. Describing this program to a friend, I was trying to recall a particular scene where some primates were using sticks to retrieve termites from a nest. Me: Damn! What do you call that monkey that uses sticks? My friend: Mickey Dolenz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Edward Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Originally posted by St. Andrew Nesmiths mother invented White-Out true True! He in herited the patent some years back ,and sold it for squillions. Apparently she discovered it by accident, when she was - so i heard - *baking*. Wonder what kinda weird stuff they ate in the Nesmith household?? I seem to recall Davy Jones doing TV presenting on British kid's tv in the early 80s. If Davy's short of money, he could probably do very well out of the Star Trek convention circuit as a Walter Koenig lookalike...

Members Buck62 Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Getting back to the original subject, the "Monkees guitar".... the guitar is missing both Monkees logos. THAT'S THE MOST VALUABLE PART OF THE GUITAR! Without those logos, I wouldn't expect the seller to get anywhere near his asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzztone Posted August 26, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 I think this guitar is kinda rare because the target market (Monkees fans) were mostly prepubesnt boys and teenage girls could not afford it so Gretsch got stuck with a bunch of them and they either rebadged them or scavanged them for the parts.Actually I think they sold more of these in Japan than here.

Don't be. Had Jimi choked on vomit in those days, it would have been Peter Tork's. Not a pretty way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
