Whats your oldest instrument?

[dmlinger]

1950 Martin D-18, shown here without strings. Love it.

 

[groverj3]

Not an instrument per se, but I have a Gibson 6 amp made in 1959!

A 1975 Fender strat, sunburst, maple neck, sounds great, really woody strat tones, and an awesome neck that doesn't feel like a strat! Can't find any pictures of it, so I'll have to have a dig!

My 1988 Gibson Les Paul Custom signed by Slash and Eddie Van Halen.

My 1984 Cort Les Paul Double Cut copy. Which has since been modified like ..... Will get a refinish this summer.

As I have stated in my description, this thing plays better than any real Les Paul I have ever played.

I recently scored an '89 rg550 atlantic blue, its probably one of the best guitars I've ever owned!

Nothing really too old... this is my Tokai PR100, probably made around 2001.



My dad's had some properly old stuff though, if that helps my case. He's got a 1976 Ibanez 2663 "Iceman" and has also had an early-70s Gibson Les Paul and a 1962 Les Paul Junior (well, it was an SG Junior in all but name - for the first year or two they sold those as the "new" LP Juniors).

I have a Yamaha acoustic that was made in the late 80's at newest. I don't know exactly when, I just know my dad had it when I was little.

'78 Strat is the oldest ...

followed by an '80 G&L F100

and an '81 Ibanez Artist AR300

then an '82 Yamaha SBG2000

Whoa... you just reminded me that I used to have a bass that I think was made by Tokai (or some Chinese company). It was huge, heavy, and the neck was almost literally as thick as a baseball bat. It was really hard to identify because it had no logos or markings on it. I can't even find a picture of a similar bass.

Thanks. It is a fine one.

I have a 1976 Fender Tele Custom. My uncle was the original owner and he offered to sell it to me for $500 because he has bad arthritis. Needless to say I took him up on that...

 

[Dan_Vacant]

I have a teisco et-200 it's red and i'd probly be hated by teisco collectors casue I routed in to the body to put pickups in it casue it came with something that looked like a melody maker pickup, but it's D E D dead.

My Jackson Soloist. Built in 1991 View attachment 39966

Did you change the pickups? I also have a Soloist from 1991 and it came with Jackson active pickups (which sounded bad unfortunately).

A battered 1980 Les Paul Custom silverburst.

Do you mean the pickups with the mid-boost circuitry? I had those in an old USA Jackson Fusion and they weren't great IMO!
