Vintage Guitar Road Show Rocks San Jose

John — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 13:55:24 +0000

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.
