Get offa my, erm, drum rug, erm, patch cable, erm, never mind.

Oh. The amp behind the 67NR has been mine since 6/5/70. 53 years.

Looks to be in VGC - one of many Teisco guitar styles made in the mid-late '60s. Striped (sand-blasted) aluminum pg characteristic of that period.

My modded '65 Teisco Del Rey NB-1

That behemoth is similar to mine the night I was playing with the Eddie Taylor Blues Band in an east-side Chicago club ('79) when a M-F argument at the bar developed into everyone at the bar brandishing a knife or gun. (!) I jumped behind my 2X15 cab Acoustic amp until the owner/bartender known as "Neck-Tie" deescalated the tense moment. Would have provided a good shield against stray bullets...

not mine but one like it...

I've got a guitar with that peghead. I like the shape for bass:

The guitar version with the multi-colour push-buttons go for a pretty penny! My '65 Del Rey ss has a cool Teisco decal in tact - one of the biggest hs's to this day! Similar to one we are familiar with...

I spy with my little eye something faded white and maybe something with bullet holes?

I'm sure his name is Gord.

I'm sure his name is Gord.

Gordo

Gordo

Almost everyone in Canada is named Gord. The Tragically Hip was the ultimate Canadian band because they had two Gords.

Most all US bands have a "Joe" and most UK bands have a "Trevor"... if you entertain stereotypes.

This evening's project. Clean and setup with new strings.

Great choice!

 

[dagrev]

So all this VP love is making me realize I need to spend more time with my '17 VP. I've never really bonded with it. It's not a Tbird I pick up often because of the size and reach. I can probably get used to it if I focus just on it for several weeks.

Maybe if it were Pelham Blue...

did you use the Bird in that band?

 

[Ringhammer]

Most all US bands have a "Joe" and most UK bands have a "Trevor"... if you entertain stereotypes.

"Mike" seems to be the name I'm in with:
Bad Lemon = Mike S on drums and lead vocal, Mike D on guitar and backing vox. since it's only a three piece, I'm in the minority.

Red Sun Ruins, no Mikes, but Brian Michael on rhythm guitar and backing and some lead vox.
