hello everybody, my first post here on vintaxe.
the first time i saw this guitar, the kid upstairs ask if i could route a new neck joint on the body of the guitar. the bridge was snapped in two and the neck had a mean warp on the 18-19th frets.
i told him to leave the guitar with me and i would see what i could do to make it playable once again. i told him i'd purchase it from him before i allowed him to route the body.
took the neck off the guitar and found out that it was only held inplace with one screw. the second being a neck ajustment screw (which the kid had cranked tight thinking it was securing the neck) this was the reason for the warp.
i repaired the bridge,set the neck and returned the guitar in playable condition. i have to say it has very nice action.
that was a year and a half ago.
last month i picked up a tagus pro 115 solid state amp from a pawn shop. i paid $65 but the amp was falling apart.
i figure its a 70's amp made in toronto ontario. it looks like alot of traynors from the same era. i never found out much info on the tagus. i did however replace the dust cover on the 15" papaer speaker, rebuild the cabinet and wrapped the entire amp.
anyway, to make a long story short, i just traded the $65 amp for the supro.
i'm assuming its a 1958-62 guitar (just guessing based on others i've seen)
i'd really like to find out what model this is. any info would be greatly appreciated. it seems 100% original other than a missing switch knob and a second hole has been drilled for the strap button.
also i'd love to see what the original selector switch knob looks like. (to help in its replacement. i really did save this one, if you saw what the kid did to his 70's sg, you'd cry.
and the pic's

and the electronics. the paper cap say thier made in chicargo
i'm interested in the value also (for insurance purposes) but history,info,model no. etc are first on my list of priorities.
