Quirky but yet strangely attractive. I love these stories about something being kept under a bed/in a cupboard - I always think/hope I might benefit from something like that - at a good price though! Great post.[/quote] Keep looking, they [i]are[/i] out there. Not neccessarily at a good price though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Envious) Mart[/quote] Thanks Mart, they are fab, and very different looking to the reissues, the pasiley wallpaper is highly textured, and very sparkly, hot rod metallic edge spray, the blue flower paper is smooth, but quite sparkly also, with similar metallic hot rod paint spray burst around the edges. Just wonderful, a rare pairing indeed. Thanks for the comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your tele looks great, what a same about the paisley though! Most paisley and blue flowers were stripped, as the paper peeled on 90% of them, and as they werent seen as collectors instruments until the 90's, most owners stripped the paper off, as it looked unsightly half torn off. Not uncommon at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noisyjon Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Rick, Are these now for sale with Andy Baxter? [url="http://andybaxterbass.com/guitars.php"]http://andybaxterbass.com/guitars.php[/url] Regards, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="http://andybaxterbass.com/guitars.php"]http://andybaxterbass.com/guitars.php[/url] Regards, Jon[/quote] No, certainly not for sale, i've only just got them!! I know Andy, he was involved, to a certain extent, in the purchase of these Basses, and he asked to put them on his site for publicity purposes, thats why he's put 'Please call' in the text, and not a price. Not uncommon, particularly with rare guitars. New Kings Road Guitars are still advertising my '52 Precision, despite me buying it a couple of months ago, for the same reason, it generates interest in their inventory. Rick.
