Wow! That is absolutely gorgeous! :mrgreen: What a beautiful example of a Celebrity I. Congratulations on that! Thank you for the pictures.

How do you like the Celebrity I versus the Celebrity III? Any difference stand out to you?

I've now documented almost 40 different Celebrities and beginning to see the variations over the years which is very interesting actually. Eventually I hope to be able to tell the whole Celebrity story and be able to identify the year of the guitar by the differences that I document.

Very nice-looking guitar! Maybe someday I'll pull the trigger on a Celebrity ... if so, I hope it's as good as this one.
