  • Last new toy for now!

    OK, so this is my last one - for now

    This is another guitar that I bought from Robert Witte - Huge thanks again As you can see, it's another Jackson Firebird, and again, one made for Robbin Crosby. This guitar is unserialised (as was one of his other guitars - I forget which one) and generally conforms to Robbin's 'usual' Firebird specs i.e. Reverse Headstock and inlays, single hum, Floyd. This guitar was originally painted with a more advanced graphic - a 'hieroglyphic' type border around the edge of the guitar, but aparently Robbin didn't like this, so it was painted over. The only pic I've seen with Robbin and this guitar is shown below, so if anyone has other pics of him with the guitar, I'd really appreciate it if you can let me know

    Anyway, onto the pics:

    Rare is not the same as valuable
    Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

      A piece of history. So cool. I wonder why RW is selling all these guitars?

        cool piece, Ian. Congrats on scoring it.

        y'know, I never liked that shape until I came here. Now I reckon it's pretty neat.

          Aparently Robert has just decided to reduce the numbers of his collection somewhat. Don't worry, he's still got plenty left

            That graphic was in the Dan Lawrence photo album I used to have.

            I didn't scan the pics, though.

            I did take sample pics:
