Cimar 70's guitar

[Podd]

Cooo that was quick, I put a pic of a good one on FB, mine isn't too bad. I swopped it for 4 Guitars for it at our local guitar shop. I do think you are right though it is a 'Classic' so I will probably leave it alone. The paint has chipped on the body so more will come off which is why I thought of 'Blending' the marks so they look like wear, as I am 'limited' on options.
I know it sounds drastic but it might be an alternative option.
I do 'Trade' quite a lot with the local shop and have probably passed 25 guitars their way, I also buy/sell at boot sales so am constantly changing guitars and pickups, If you are prepared to look there are some amazing bargains to be had, how about an Epiphone Casino for £30! or a 1980's DiMarzio Paf Pro on a £20 guitar?
I purchased a very cheap Encore and case for £40, I gave the guitar away as it was a TKL Concert case worth about £140, I have bought some real dogs as well so it isn't all good, I normally use them for spares or break them and sell as part. I don't actually make money but I do have some really nice guitars and a lot of fun.

You're havin fun! And very creative in how you spot an opportunity. I know what you mean...

I've been very careful and have bought some great guitars on eBay. So now I have several good ones I could trade and several beautiful "players" that I'll pass along in my Will.

Sorry, but I,m not sure if I'm familiar with FB but would like to see the pix...and it just now struck me...I know that Tele model and know a pawn shop that has one right now!

Just found out the colour is called Metallic Burgundy Mist (And you can still buy it)
It was first used on a 1959 Oldsmobile until Fender found it?
I would certainly have a look at one in a shop if it was local, although I did get ripped off at a 'CrimeConverters' in Wales, I bought a Tokai Firebird thinking it was MIJ only to find it was MIC.

Have a try on FaceBook or email anthony-reynolds@live.co.uk and I'll send pic back.

Well I've showed me arse again! I'm pretty lo-tech, guys. Actually more like no-tech...

Sooo, we're talkin "FB" as in Facebook? Well, I enjoyed the movie and that's all I know bout it. But I'm willin to learn.

Well, Doug, I have emailed some pics to you, some are a bit small as I had to grab them off of FaceBook. There are a shed load of guitars that are not photographed as they were virtually 'in and out'.
One I did like was a Peavey Generation Tele, the one with the Piezo bridge, trouble was the electrics were shot so I sold it as parts, made a mint and have a 'Ghost' Piezo bridge which may end up on a MIDI guitar. I won't sell on a 'dog' though, I just take the 'hit', I couldn't forgive myself for putting somebody off guitar. Tony
