[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1426285775' post='2716709'] I wish they'd reissue the two pickup version! That would sell a bunch! Si [/quote] Well it looks like the two pickup version will soon be available again. Check out that post on the Guild facebook page: [url="https://www.facebook.com/guildguitars/photos/a.298445806104.150579.98726376104/10152598462551105/?type=1&theater"]https://www.facebook...?type=1[/url]

Always nice to see a Guild

Lollipop tuners first appeared on Jazz basses in '65 and precision / Telecaster basses in '67. They were made in house. There was also a smaller version on short scale basses around the same time (Coronados and Mustangs). Fender discontinued them in '68. Very hard to come by.

[quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1420220625' post='2646854'] How spooky! And you've kept ashtrays on too! What year is yours? [/quote] It's an early '66 (late '65 neck and pots, Jan 66 pickups), all original including LPB finish. Yours looks like a pre-CBS in pretty awesome shape. Is it a '63 or '64? Btw I read you're into disco and funk so you're probably aware of that local story: in 1975 a couple of American session musicians who’ve known each other for year finish a gig at local chicken-in-a-basket venue The Heart Of The Midlands after backing up an unknown soul singer, and wind up chatting in the Bentinck Hotel (next to the train station in Nottingham}, after one of them’s had his wallet nicked. On the spot, they decide to form their own band. Their names? Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. The band? Chic. True story.

[quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1420119460' post='2645722'] Old and Blue...... [/quote] Wow!

I prefer blue Ps with white or mint guards rather than tort. Having said that gold anodized ones don't look too shabby: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VkNmcjPHRE[/media]

Amazing looking slab. Congratulations!

2, 3, 4 are definitely in the right chronological order. 2 is a '66-'68 case. Can't really see the logo on 1. Clasp in the middle of the handle is odd for a tolex case

[quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1400928319' post='2458217'] Beautiful LPB Precision, love your Guild also. [/quote]\ Thank you. Here is another pic with both

Thanks everyone. That one spent the 80's and 90's locked away under a bed and is very special. It even smells good!

That's not an original finish. Custom or self made one
