Guitar Showcase is the next stop in our continuing series!

 In this segment:

•  We get to check out an early-50s Gibson ES-175 Electric Archtop which features the original specs, including a single P90 pickup in the neck position. Later models featured a humbucking pickup.
• The next guitar was an original Epiphone Model 4 roundhole acoustic archtop. As described in the video, this is one of the oldest instruments to be featured in this event. Check out how they determine its authenticity..ONLY PROFESSIONALS!!
• Another guitar featured is a relatively new model in the vintage market, an original Kramer guitar. But what makes this guitar special is the one-off paint job done by San Francisco artist, Mark Erickson.

Further down in this blog site you will find part 4 of the Vintage Guitars Road Show video series, also available for viewing on the Premier Guitar magazine web site. In it, an enthusistic participant is touting a plaid painted Blues Saraceno guitar. We stumbled across one that looks a lot like it on You Tube. It’s Blues himself, wailing on one back in 1995 at the NAMM show. – Check it out!

Reunion Blues dealers already know about our stellar reputation for dealer support. This year, our exhibit at the Anaheim NAMM show will include a free leather attache bag for every blue-badged buyer who watches our training video. RB dealers will also see a sample of our Vintage Guitars Road Show video, and have the opportunity to sign up for their very own in-store event.

Premier Guitar Magazine is co-sponsoring these events, and participating dealers are benefiting from the free publicity. To see the first Vintage Guitars Road Show videos, click HERE.
