1957 Gibson Les Paul Special Tenor TV Yellow

[Ben Milne]

Just a heads up for you Gibson guys there is an auction out here in LA of Les Gibson guitars/mandolin/electronics from his estate http://www.juliensauctions.com/image.../icatalog.html Lot's of things to drool over. I'm probably going to the exhibition (free) but not the auction. NFI just some pretty cool stuff!!

Oh wow. Just wow.
Would love anything along the lines of Lester's personal RCA mics, Neumann mics, consecutive 1176s, la2a, F12, trumpetviol(!) multitrack machines, '27 L5, LP blueprints... The list goes on for 400 pages!
sheesh yeh, I would settle for those Atlas mic stand floorlamps too!

A fascinating catalogue, although the auctioneers involved seem to lack any real expertise with musical instruments. Item 16, for example, described as a "whimsical modified instrument" appears to be an (incomplete) Stroh violin. Stroh and other older phonofiddles are very much sought after.

[Jim Garber]

Yeah, if that Stroh goes for that estimate it is a real deal tho I am not 100% sure it is an actual Stroh-made one. not sure if the monitor horn is supposed to come out of the main horn. Also I can't quite tell but it looks like it is only missing the bridge.

I am convinced that the relisting of this item is just a part of some plot to drive me insane. You know, like some Hitchcock movie.

Do you have any good trade bait? I made a fairly favorable trade with this seller for an item I wouldn't have been able to buy outright.
