Members GAS Man Posted September 18, 2012 Members Share Posted September 18, 2012 I used to have a circa 1970 MIJ guitar that I miss to this day. Similar looking trem bridge where the spring would fall out if/when I ever pulled up. And it had 4 pickups each with an individual slider switch. The only name on it was Prestige. I think possibly it might have been an Ibanez product. But yeah, it was definitely "kitschy". Which is the only reason I miss it. Congrats on yours (hey, I used to live in Istanbul - '66 & '67 - dad was USAF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on yours (hey, I used to live in Istanbul - '66 & '67 - dad was USAF) That Prestige sounds like a really cool guitar. I didn't really appreciate the Japanese guitars I struggled with in the early 70s. Funny how I like their, er, unique styling now. Have you been back to Istanbul? If you haven't been back for a while, you'd be shocked. Just in the thirteen years since I first saw set foot in this town, so much has changed.

If you haven't been back for a while, you'd be shocked. Just in the thirteen years since I first saw set foot in this town, so much has changed. No, I haven't been back since I left in '67 at the age of 10. I remember meeting a Turk in a bar here in WA State back in the early 90s and he said I wouldn't recognize the place at that point. But there's so many landmarks that of course would be a deja vu' rush, but I find deja vu just depresses me anyway. Too much reminder of too much gone by. So although part of me would like to see my old home of 2 years again, I think that when I eventually do get back to travel, it will have to be to countries I've missed. I can't remember how to describe where I lived, but it was in a hi-rise apartment building. During our stay there, they built a police academy right next to it. But I'd like to see Domabace and the covered bazaar again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ol' Tree Frog Posted September 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 It's not got much kitch in it. Maybe I'm using the wrong word (not to mention spelling it incorrectly). I guess it's more odd or quirky -- the weird misplaced f-holes for example. But take it all together I think it's a cutie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
