Nice collection

Postby goldentrem » Mon Sep 28, 2009 2:10 pm

Don't know if this has been posted before, found it on offsetguitars.com forum.
The group shot at the end of the Mosrite section is killer.

Yep! That's a great collection. If you click on each image in the list it will enlarge for closer examination. I'm glad to see there was an original black Ventures model with the neck painted black as well. All I have ever seen was the black body with natural Maple neck.

It reminds me of Fender fiesta red of the '60s. Nice!

Thanks for posting such a wonderful photo, goldentrem!!!

That's my new desktop image.

Heck, if it only had Jill St. John in it, it would be the best photo in the world.

I'm thinking Mimsy Farmer would be period correct

Brutus opined: I'm thinking Mimsy Farmer would be period correct . . .

Well, after a quick research job on YouTube and Google, I stand corrected. I hate to admit that I, a former glamour photographer and film-school dude, had never heard of this person.

So . . .
Heck, if that photo only had a 1960s image of Mimsy Farmer in it, it would be the best photo in the world.

How about a picture of Jethro Bodeen. That would be period correct, and I'd like it better! :mrgreen:

Well, in the interest of fairness, we looked, but couldn't find Jethro with a Mosrite. How about a period-correct Buddy Ebson and a 1928 Gibson L5?

JUST KIDDDING! This thread quickly took a surreal turn, didn't it?
