... 1st one is an Epiphone, that's basically a Jazz copy with an Explorer type headstock - zero fret wear, but has a few dings on the body - neck's clean, though... The PG was sporting a hideous "paintjob" - which I sanded down, and painted "hammered black" - to somewhat match the black body... I got it for $74 out the door at my local Daddys - already played a gig with it, so it's just about paid for itself... I wired the pups in series, and went straight to the jack - sounds pretty good, actually...

 

 

...the 2nd one, some here *might* find a bit more interesting - it appears to be a Spector Q5 Pro, as near as I can tell... I *was* going to get an Ibanez SRX 405 for $212 at the same Daddys, but after talking to a friend, he sold me this Spector for $175 - seemed like a better deal... It's got a few dings and dents, but is basically pretty solid - and very little fret wear - it's missing the trussrod cover, half the screws for the back control cover, and 3 of the tuner spacers - but I know a fellow local musician who has a Spector endorsement deal, and he's helping me chase down parts... I also am looking to replace one of the tuners, as it started slipping - after removing it's back cover(butchering would be a more appropriate description), I tightened the inside screw back up, and it's now functional one again - but is missing it's cover...

 

As usual, no pics - so you'll just have to take my word for it(or not, hahaha!!!) - just thought I'd share...

PS - It's my 1st 5'er - so we're talking foreign territory for this veteran 4 string player...

It's not Amber, by chance, with a small nick in the upper horn, is it?

 

 

 

Nope - I believe you'd call it a photoflame top, and it's blue - no nick on the top horn, but it's got a pretty good ding on the top, between the bridge and the strap post...

If it had ended up being yours, I would've been happy to return it to it's rightful owner, and would've been sure to hammer out any details - one way or the other... I hope you become reunited with yours one day, though - best of luck with that....
