What vintage amps?

'59 Bassman Reissue that I hand wired.

1990's Matchless DC-30

18 watt Marshall clone I hand wired in a Matchless DC-30 cab I cloned.

Cool. A pick guard shouldn’t be that hard to find.
Love that tobacco sunburst color.

I had a pristine ES-335 in that color I let a very good friend talk me out of several years ago. I still get to play it when I visit. Mostly play a TeleCaster or Strat nowadays. Arthritis is starting to take a toll on my old hands now. Don’t play near as much as I want to.

You guys suggested Gruhn’s. I checked and they offer an online appraisal for 75$. Send in specific pics an email and mailing address. As soon as the appraisal is completed they send an email and hard copy of the appraisal. I plan on getting that done over the weekend.

The tobacco sunburst is my favorite for obvious reasons. If I keep it as a player I’ll plan to find a vintage guard and volume knob. I’d like to get some quotes on repair and increased if restored. It’ll be interesting to see what Gruhn’s says.


I have a few more pics that are related to the general topic but not specifically to the guitar if you guys would like me to post them up.

I like what you did with the intervals with those cases.

Post em Steve!

They are beyond cool and these guys will surely appreciate them!

That’s cool. Well worth the $75 for Gruhn’s appraisal!
They are well respected in the Vintage Guitar market.

I sold a 60s Hofner 457/12 president a couples years back, which I had kept it.

Let me know when you find out more about

My oldest Gibbie now is '32 archtop.

This is another 60's era of the quartet. The old Airline guitar that was traded for the 330.

This is the quartet singing at a special event at my home church as a kid. This would have been some time during the early 90's since my Great Uncle, on the left, died in the mid nineties.

This pic would have been at a Labor Day family gathering. My paternal grandpa's birthday was celebrated on Labor Day. This is my dad with his three sisters. I'm not sure who the second lady from the left is but its likely a family friend?. Old school country harmony. I'm not certain whose guitar was being played. Probably my aunt Vonda's.

Love this one.

Your pops looks like he plays a mean C chord.

It’s really strangs seeing that picture. I may not have been born when that one was taken. I know it’s my dad but in some ways I don’t recognize him. A little weird.

Gruhn likely had your knob and pick guard. If not, I bet they can locate them for you.
eBay has repros.
