Members Railfanespee Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 '65 Vox Student. USA made by Thomas Organ, 1-2 watts. one knob, 2 inputs, that's about it. Sounds awesome, though. Think Pete Townsend's rhythm sound on Won't Get Fooled Again. Old pic, since this it's been cleaned up and rebuilt by a tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thenakedarab Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 All right.I've got a factory HB loaded Tobacco Burst 1975 LP STD. The only thing is Gibson didn't make Standards as a production guitar in that year, and the only model they offered in Tobacco Burst that year was the Deluxe. Now they would make custom orders, so I'm guessing that's what happened in this ones case.Then there's this. I know Vikings aren't the rarest guitar in the world, but I've never seen a gold-flake one with vibrato. The guitar plays like a dream too.Rare amp, well it's the only one I've ever seen like it, though I'm sure they're probably a bit more common on the other side of the pond.It's a KMD XV100SD. It was their top of the line amp. Handmade in England, and think a smoother warmer JCM 900 with no diode clipping and a couple more tube gain stages. It's a nice amp, good cleans and great rock crunch. With a boost it's well into metal territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cortfan Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 I love my little KMD 1-12 combo. Mine was made in Canada probably by Yorkville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Just A Box Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 Tobias 6 string electric. Apparently, years ago, Michael Tobias sold the company to Gibson and they moved production to Tennessee. They started making Electric guitars in addition to basses. Mine was number 46. Assymetrical neck, just awesome all around. Sadly, I grew out of the single coil sound for a while & sold it for half what I paid for it. I miss it to this day..... He has, I believe, re-acquired the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that the hybrids with SS front end and tube power amp sound pretty damn good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members silverfacechamp Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 Don't have pics of many of the guitars....The rarest in the group would probably be the 1973 Yamaha SG-85, hand built pre-Daion Yamaki acoustic, Gibson Les Paul Standard Raw Power Limited Edition, and a 4 digit serial Hamer Standard, which I flipped for the Les Paul (Explorers aren't my thing).Amps:Bruce Egnater built Natec branded modular preamp. This is THE prototype for everything modular Bruce has done...the very first (and probably only) one ever built, and the preamp that lauched Bruce's forays into modular stuff (Rocktron, Randall, Egnater, etc.). Have no idea of value of this, as this is the only one in existence that we're aware of. Custom built amp made for jazz guitarist Steve Blailock:Grainy old picture of my MIJ Iron Maiden strat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rich4Once Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 They only made 700 of these: Peavey Nitro Custom Ltd. There are a lot of Nitros out there, but all bolt-ons, and the spec differed depending on when they were made. This one is a neck-thru, and all 700 came in this black cherry pearl finish. I've changed the bridge and pickups over the years, and I've had it since new in '88. It's my #1, go-to guitar. http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p146/one4rich/Gear%20Pics/?action=view¤t=PeaveyNitro001.jpg http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p146/one4rich/Gear%20Pics/?action=view¤t=PeaveyNitro002.jpg http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p146/one4rich/Gear%20Pics/?action=view¤t=PeaveyNitro003.jpg http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p146/one4rich/Gear%20Pics/?action=view¤t=PeaveyNitro004.jpg http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p146/one4rich/Gear%20Pics/?action=view¤t=PeaveyNitro006.jpg http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p146/one4rich/Gear%20Pics/?action=view¤t=PeaveyNitro007.jpg Legend stuff is somewhat rare, too! http://s127.photobucket.com/albums/p146/one4rich/Gear%20Pics/?action=view¤t=PDRM0156.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TruSlice Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 63" Gibson Ga-200 piggyback. Originally a bassman-like amp but designed to run clean like a twin reverb. Had it rewired to have more gain. Even though I have problems with arcing at the moment, there's some magic about this amp and I think it's due to the very musical and warm sounding transformers.
