weird, cheap guitars rule....the first electric I played on was from the 60s, I am trying to fix it...its got a jazzmaster body with a red sunburst and metal pickguard...

I wish. These are just pictures of guitars I want to own.

 

I did have a '65 Hagstrom III for a while, but it needed too much work and I sold it for a slight profit. Loved that guitar though. Loved it to the death. :(

 

(If all goes well in the next month, I might be the proud owner of one of those lipstick-filled jaguar styles. :D)

Got this last month for $100:

ORLANDOLP1.jpg

It's a 70s Orlando LP Custom copy with a bolt-on neck.

Best thing was, it already had Duncans in it! A JB and a 59.

Has better upper fret access than my '01 Studio, and screams with the Duncans. Best C note I ever spent.

this one is as heavy or even more than a bass.

this one is even taller than a jazzmaster.

this one sounds extremely .. well country like.. or harsh.. big.. bad... thin..

cool bell sounds when picked behind the bridge.

 

and it was cheap!!

if they'd just make them a bit more sturdy...

 

 

No kidding. Mine had a headstock repair, needed a refret, and the switches were crapping out, plus the pickups needed potting.

 

Still, I loved that guitar. Nasty and lo-fi, with the most comfortable neck in the world.

I used to own one of those (flea market find)... it was pretty terrible. Some cheap flea-market guitars have great pickups (some Harmonys, obv. the Danelectros, ) but that thing just sounded like it was made out of plastic. Which has its place, I suppose.

 

That orange, though! What a color!

How are the pickups on those old Harmonys? I've heard good things about them and have my eye on a few on ebay.
