OK I'd Like a Birth Year Guitar Now (1967)

[jedediahd]

Guess I never really thought about it as I don't think I'd ever be able to afford one, but this seems like a Tele that could do it for me. Super Reverb is nice, too.

So you're the one who won the lotto?

I was born 1959, birth year guitars maybe out of my price range!

I, too, would like a birthyear guitar, but that won't happen since I'm a pauper born in '64. So I settled on a '74

A friend who has an extensive collection recently showed me his '58 LP Special.
I was smitten. And he said if he passes first, he'll make sure I get it.
So I'm good here, thanks.

I had this exact same model and color in high school back about '74.
It's one I wish hadn't gotten away ...

1952 here. My parents weren't smart enough to spend the $190 or whatever for one when I was born. If only they had asked I would have told them to buy two.

P.S. You should buy it. Seriously.

I've got a birthyear amp ('66 Super Reverb). I got it over 30 years ago. I was beyond poor then but pulled it off somehow.

That's likely as close as I'll ever come to a birthyear guitar.

Sorry to hear that, but to err is human! These are real rock machines, CBS or not, so I'd purchase one again if I were you...

I too am a 1959 baby.
So no vintage guitars for me!!!



My birthday is actually tomorrow, 27 July.
Never thought I would ever live to be walking around singing When I'm 64.

Yep, everyone should have at least one birth year guitar, if possible.
I hope you get that beautiful '67 Tele!

My first birth year guitar was a '63 factory custom colored Esquire back in the late 70s/ early 80s.

Here's my current birth year guitar:
Early 1963 Les Paul Junior.

1953, so I am priced out of the market.

They weren't making them yet.

I should have either got in the game way sooner or squirreled away way, way more money for my birthyear dream guitar, a 1951 Tele!

Rob a bank, buy a Burst.

I can’t afford my birth year guitar (1967) but my son was born in March of ‘99 and so was my Custom 22. That’ll have to do.

 

[d barham]

My birthday is ‘62 but I’ll just have to make do with my old 1960 tele.

 

[Lowspeid]

1978, so there are a lot to chose from, but they’ll all weigh about the same as a boat anchor. I almost picked up a 1978 LPC, but the neck was skinny as a pencil, and weighed almost 12lbs. For $8k, I had to take a hard pass.

That is a beautiful guitar. I could do well with an Epi birthyear guitar too. No way can I pay what the Tele at Norman's is worth. They don't even have it listed yet (or it sold).
