Dallas Guitar Show 2012 (lots of pics)

[taylornutt]

I went to the show on Friday. Lots of cool overpriced vintage guitars as usual. Bought a Lava Cable Kit for $20 off normal prices. Not enough pedal vendors.

Here are some pics:

Group 1

► Show Spoiler

I got to play both these guitars. I love the Antigua Coronado except for the metal bar a previous owner put on the headstock. $1600 is not terrible price for a Coronado. Starcaster was cool as well



Love the color, but hate price on this gorgeous Coronado

Group 2

► Show Spoiler

This refinished Mustang was Shell pink with 3 EMG pickups and weird roller saddles.


Reasonably Priced Mustang.


I have never seen a neck so worn along the fret ends in my life.

Group 3

► Show Spoiler

I saw 2 of these exact custom shop JMasters at the show

Overpriced Jagstang


Antigua Starcaster? I have never seen one in that color. Might be a refin?



They guy wanted $1050 for a MIJ Jaguar.

nah, they used it on pretty much every guitar in the range in the 70s.

Cool pictures. Lots of good reference shots.
The only thing I saw in my price range was the $65 BeeGees lunchbox and I don't even have the money for that.
Guess I'll stick with my Partridge Family lunchbox.

Is that an original Toronado there for $500?

$1000 jagstang, but a $500 Toronado??

Reminds me of the Vintage guitar shop on denmark street. I won't even go in there because I know if I do I'll lightly brush something while walking past causing a domino effect whereby every guitar in the store ends up in a big, broken pile in the middle of the floor.

Glad it's not just me that feels like that in Vintage & Rare guitars! Not only do I feel like I'll probably do that, I'll then trip over my own feet on the way out and put my head through the glass case of unobtanuim boutique effects pedals that they keep by the door.

$1000 Jag-stang loool

I was kinda like "Really?" He wanted $1000 for a MIJ Jaguar, $1000 for the Jag-stang and he had a Sovtek Civil War Big Muff for $450!

His prices were just sky high. I guess the booth must be really expensive so he need to make back his money. The only reasonably priced guitar was the KC Mustang used for $900 and that's still high considering what they run for new.

I don't think I'd survive to post the pictures if I saw all those vintage fenders in one room.
