Ok, so as long as I am at it I figured I'd keep going on the topic of OTHER. I seem to recall a post that said keep 'em coming so that's what I'm doing. '68 Crestwood Deluxe as pictured on a Paul Revere and the Raiders record and as played by Fred Smith of the MC5, roughly 200 made. Roger Daguet (rockaction on here) makes AMAZING copies by the way, and I have one of those as well. Honestly, I think Roger's is a bit better although I gotta say the action on this puppy is super low and with 11s on it, it feels like 9s.

Oh, and this my friends, plus the Gretsch stuff, and Gibson amp is why I have been slacking in the Mosrite department.

No soup for you!

HAHA, just soup for me at this rate!

That's a nice looking guitar though. I've never heard of it before.

Totally, I love white guitars but when I saw this shade of cherry in person I melted as if I were looking at a kitten. Whoever had this for a long time took VERY good care of it. It has a heel repair which is what made it somewhat affordable but it is solid as a rock and you can't even see it. The buckle rash is almost too perfect. Ok, that was weird, had to upload this to photobucket 3 times before it would let me post, had to go smaller on the pic and even then it took a few tries.

Hey, Tommy--

Back in the late 1960s I had a single pickup version solid-body Epiphone and it was the nicest electric guitar I ever owned prior to my current batch.

Ace Music in Miami had two of them, and my buddy and I each got one, no cases, for a total price of $70.

An astonishing coup, even for those days.

Wish I hadn't let another buddy talk me out of it, because that was a wonderful guitar. I also think that bat-wing headstock is just the bomb.

Tommy. You have the greatest guitar collection I've ever seen. I hate you... Not.
But still! It really blows my mind.

Was that a Coronet or an Olympic? I also have a Coronet in the collection, the P90 is awesome! Looks like some genius, me, had a little typo with Deluxe in the title here, oh well!

Some people grow up and have kids to support. I grew up and decided to have guitars instead.
