I've mentioned this several times. I thought I may as well throw on some pictures. I've owned this since the early 90's. I traded an Ovation Glen Campbell 12 string for it. My son now has it in Taiwan. I'm trying to get him to bring it back as he now uses a PRS.

Gosh, TimR, that is a beautiful guitar. And you got that by trading an Ovation for it?!?!??!

Boy howdy.

I would call that a good deal!!!

Note the headstock has that swirl on the top; my 1972 Celebrity III also has that. I think that is a neat shape.

What a cool beauty, radiating a LOT of potential
I find Semie's outline of the headstock on these awsome instruments particularly refined. Don't let her slip away

Great looking guitar. They are really starting to grow on me. Maybe a future custom build for me.

..... and just when I thought I was done building guitars.

Man, it must be nice to be able to BUILD any kind of guitar you want!!!

I can't make a paper airplane without getting all bollixed up.

That would be a neat project, though; no doubt about it! I love the color of the pickguards on TimR's guitar, and the shapes of them are just plain snazzy.

Semie Moseley may not have been a trained artist or designer, but the man certainly had an eye for design and color, didn't he?

Well, not any kind. I've never built a hollow body. That would require building too many forming jigs.

But those Celebrities do look nice though.

It certainly is a good looking guitar. I kind of wish I could have bought the one that was just on eBay yesterday, I had to pass on it! It would fit my style better than a Mark I, I find I'm preferring very heavy strings these days and I like humbuckers too. I like guitars that roar.

Danny,
Does that mean I can't order a custom 3-pickup Ellison Vintage Combo?

Well, if that would help in making up for that other HORRIBLE $3500 'custom build' experience with 'we know who' (and it's not Ed Elliott or Terry) that everybody thinks is so great, then maybe I'd be game for doing what I can. I feel horrible about that. Enough said.
