Just FYI,
my ole mate (small shop up the road from my house here in Texas, still has a minty Peavey Vandenburg in bright Red, Mk1 apparently. Think he wants bout $500 and am sure would ship.

Ohh My God!
I've been wanting one of these for 17 years! Unfortunatly I'm totally out of cash with Xmas coming up and this is just the most frustrating thing I could hear. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
The only up-side to this news is that Jon @ Feline is prepared to make me a custom "Afghan Vandy" replica in the very near future so I will just keep on spec-ing that project till I can say.... GO!

sorry Dave, if I had the spare cash I would bring it back and babysit it for ya. :cry:

Well thanks for the kind thought...
You COULD do something very VERY helpful for me... :D :D :D
If you have a digital camera and the store is close could you possibly nip in and take a few detailed photos of the headstock volutes and a good full body shot?
PLEASE... pretty please with jam and hugs :lol: :lol: :lol:
I've got alot of info already for Jon but the better the detail the better the results. :wink:
-
yes please .........
Especially any detail like the fluted ridges on the headstock and the violin cut and any other body features

Holy sh!t, a Gibson Corvus, the can-opener guitar. If I ever see one of those really cheap I'm gonna buy it.
-
i remember playing one of the Washburn A10s back in 1982 and loving the way it played- thought it was a bit ugly but wanted a guitar that played like that.
So now all my guitars have to play well!!
-
I got given an A10 Reissue for my eighteenth birthday, is a lot of fun to play and sounds beautiful. As with all my guitars from that period, it is now completely plastered with stickers and a bit battered around the edges, is still one of my favourite guitars tho even tho it has a floyd which I normally hate!
-
Those Washburns remind me of the days when I was buying my first "proper" guitar, around 1981-82. There were loads of Japanese guitars on the market then. I wanted a Junior-style double-cutaway, and I was looking at the Aria Cardinal series, Ibanez Artists and the Washburn Wing series. They were nice little guitars. But I ended up buying American - my much-abused Hamer Special.

It is kinda odd how people's opinions of Japanese guitars have changed, when I first got into guitars in the late eighties the overwhelming opinion seemed to be "just don't buy any of that jap shitee!" (a direct quote from my music teacher!). Nowadays people can't seem to get enough of them. :lol:
-
At that point in the early 80s Japanese guitars were just coming out of that "copies" stage, there were lots of original designs and good ones too. Then, for better or worse, just after that the superstrat thing took off and everyone started building variations of the same thing - HSS, locking trem, pointy headstock, yadda yadda.
I suppose there was still snobbery about Japanese guitars, although everyone I knew had them. I just happened to get a good deal on the Hamer, I'd have been very happy buying Japanese otherwise.
Thinking about it, even at the start of the Superstrat Epoch they were all using American guitars, Jacksons and Kramers. Then Jems/RGs came along and Japanese guitars were taken seriously. Then we all started getting snooty about Korean guitars. :roll:
