  2. I want some information 'bout a guitar i'm gonna buy
    Imran

    I saw a 4 string bass guitar and I want to buy it. The price is very cheap (100 $) and the guitar sounds and looks good also. But the problem is, there is no brand name in it . The only word I found on the guitar is "CMI Bass Guitar" written on the Peg Head (the tuning key area). Neither me nor any of my frinds have heard of this "CMI" name. Is it a brand name? If it is, how good is this thing? Is the price 100 $ is right for this? I The reaseon I liked the guitar is, the fretboard of the guitar is not the regular size of a bass, instead, it has the size of an electric lead / rythem guitar. Thus, it is very comfortable to play. can you give me any information about it ? I will be very pleased. Thank You

  4. Ovation Tornado

    I have an Ovation Tornado (Serial #163) I am trying to find out when it may have been made and its estimated value. Can anyone help me? Thanks

        Jim Brack

        I had a red Ovation Tornado that I shipped to Italy to a Storm series collector. I had no serial# and found out that I had a prototype. I had a local guitar repairman reset the neck and playing action for big bottom strings. When he took the neck rod adjustment cover, we found the number 24 etched with an awl. I found out that only 25 prototypes were made and that Roy Clark had number three and Keith Partrige owned number 17. I will try to dig up my resources for you. I got $500 for the guitar and the buyer paid over a hundred dollars for shipping and insurance.

          I have one also. The model Number, rather than the serial number will indicate year. Mine is a model 1231, indicating that it was manufactured in 1971. Here’s a link, hope it helps.

            Ive been trying to find out the app. value of this guitar, I got mine from my dad when he passed away. Its in perfect condition, rarely used, always in the guitar case. So, up to 600 bucks hey? Id rather have a nice acoustic, as I dont play yet. Since my dad kept the "Tornado" in the basement I dont have much sentimental attachment to it. Take care! Rick

      Hi,
      Is it possible to refret a Matrix? I just read on the ovation website that the neck and frets are intregal (on piece). is this true on all of them?

      My brother works at Kaman Aerospace where the Ovation guitars were manufactured. He purchased the last two Ovation Matrix guitars before the company phased out the guitar manufacturing facility at Kaman in CT. My sister-in-law has one and I have the other. I wouldn’t part with this guitar for all the tea in China. Not only for sentimental reasons, this guitar sounds fantastic and holds a tune like you would not believe. Kaman Aerospace/Ovation had a great product for very little $$.

          2nd March, 2004.
          I acquired an Applause Matrix guitar about a year ago, (with metal fingerboard). Are we talking about the same guitars? Andy Schlosser (at Kaman)tells me it would have sold for around $250 in the USA or £250 here in the UK. It’s around twenty-five years old and- being virtually unplayed in all that time, is in immaculate condition. Does anyone know what this would be worth now?

      I’ve had mine from new. A most unusual guitar. The fretboard is made of aluminium alloy…sprayed black. The neck is some plastic or other. Sounds souless?……sounds great. It cost £250 uk in the late 70’s…don’t know what its worth now

        : I’ve got an ovayion matrix acoustical bought in 1996 at a cost of $500, I;ve been told on good authority that on today;s market it can bring upwards of &1800. As long as it is good condition.

      1. Re: 1970's ovation matrix
        Shelton Richards

        And another one with one of them old Ovation Matrix Guitars 1132, Aluminum neck, probably old and what have you.
        I traded mine for one months rent 8 years ago, and it was used already. The guitar is not what I would call "in mint condition". A lot of the color is gone from the neck and the frets have to be changed, but I guess that’s the price of time.
        As for the way that beauty sounds, I can only chime in praising it as a real trooper. I never gigged with the guitar, it’s been in the studio since I got it. I rented it out to a guy who recorded a cover of Led Zep’s "Rain Song" in our studio and I almost fainted!!!
        Now my question to you other owners of one of these diamonds, what am I looking at – pricewise – to get the frets changed? And what frets should I choose?
        Also, to the person who is looking for a Matrix –> deep down in my heart I am a "Martin" man anyway, so if you want I can send you pix, so you can judge the condition of the guitar yourself. And if you like it, "make me an offer I cannot refuse"

                I also have one of these 70s Ovation Matrixes (Matrices?). Got mine in ’78, been playing it regularly since. Still sounds great, still use it for some amateur gig stuff with a soundhole Fishman. Only real complaint is that there’s too much fret buzz. This is stems from a) the action is low to begin with, and, b) as noted by others in this discussion, you can’t mess with the neck or frets because they’re a solid piece of aluminum. But otherwise still a great sound to it.

            I got my new Ovation matrix model no 1132-4 serial no 145030 in 1979 at a knock down price of £120. I believe the list price at the time was Aprox £ 250. this is in england .
            and the guitar sounds better than ever these days it is an acoustic only model, although i am tempted to get a pickup installed in it. I was told that it was never a very succesful model , due to its alluminium neck which is supposed to go out of turn in different temperatures. I must say i have never found this to happen to mine. as for value.. I’m not sure , but would imagine in england , them worth approx £ 300. not that i would ever part with mine. it plays superb and the sound is as good as any £1000 guitar i have ever played

              i’ve just found one displayed in an ad in a paper and it reads: Good condition Ovation Matrix 1132-4 guitar, stand and strap.

              Guitar is in good condition – slight mark on the decorative bit under the strings (not sure what it’s called!) but otherwise in good nick. Comes with leather strap and stand. Never been gigged. Just light amateur use.

              how much do you think i should part with to get this as the seller is open to any offers, also i will be moving abroad to a hot and humid country so do you think this will affect the sound of the guitar?

              I used to own an Ovation Matrix (in the 70’s and 80′) and I really loved it. The manmade materials made the guitar almost indestructable…I left it in the back of a station wagon in 122 degree heat and it didn’t even go out of tune. The neck made the balance on the guitar a little difficult, but the neck was incredibly slick, with wonderful precision and an easy touch. I gave to the guitar to a friend when I got my 12 string and have since lost touch, but I sure miss it. I don’t know why Ovation didn’t keep making them…they sound great, and didn’t cost much. I used a transducer and flanger with that guitar…even backed an album with it. If anyone wants to sell one, please let me know!

                I just bought my matrix and i love it. I have many guitars and i have to say this is one of my best. It does have a minor crack right under the bridge. This does not effect the sound at all. Words cannot explain the beautiful sound that this guitar puts out. If you have any other questions, or if you might consider buying it, email me with your info. Thanks

              The reason why is the one piece aluminum fretboard/frets. The frets eventually wear down and I’ve been told by Ovation themselves that they are impossible to replace. My model is an Ovation Matrix, model 1132-4. This was my first guitar, given to me as a gift by my now deceased father, and I’ll never get rid of it. But I sure would love to play it again.

          I was given an Ovation guitar with the model number of 1132-4. There is another number in the sound hole on a sticker under ovation. The number is 110836. Is this the serial number? There is also the number 10 engraved in the fiberglass above the sticker. I am trying to find out the year of the guitar. Please help! Thank you!

        Hi I just purchased an Ovation Matrix model 1132-n it is autographed as well by Toby Keith, Junior Brown, Gary P Nunn and David Alan Coe. I was wanting anyinfo I could get about the guitar itself if anyone has a clue. It seems in overall good shape, although it does seem to have some cracks (not deep….) on the front of the guitar. Can this guitar be played or should it just be admired? Thanks for the help!

        : ~ I just bought an Epiphone PR-715ACR (six string) at a flea market. I can’t find hardly anything online about this guitar. Seems to be a well built instrument, straight neck, action is low but not too low, no fret buzz, intonation is great, plays as well as my Fender Highway 1 Strat. It is in great condition – no flaws, shiny finish, only minor scratches, has a case.

        My guess is this is a lower end Epiphone from the mid 80’s. I’m just looking for information about the AC-715ACR (6 string).

        I have the same 12 string. It sounds great! I recently put some Peavy strings on it. I am the oringal owner and purchased the guitar in the early 80’s. It used to break the high G string but this new set has lasted a couple of months.

      1. T60 and all T series Peaveys were not made until 1977 and not released on the retail market untill 1978. There is NO WAY you have a 1976 Peavey of ANY model number.

          My 1998 edition of blue book guitars says that in the 70’s the T-60 was $299 with molded case. Finishes other than natural are worth more also worth more with a rosewood fretboard. In the 1970’s $300 bucks was like a $600 guitar today.

      Peavey customer service (avaialble on their website) could answer your question for sure, but from what I have seem of T-60 serial numbers, that one would be no later than 1980.

        1. Peavey T-60 Serial Numbers
          The Bluesman

          The 01389793 is a 1983 model, unfortunatly thats the best I can do since Peavey really didn’t keep track of production numbers very good
          the production numbers for 1983 ran from 0130 to 0169 so you can pretty well tell that it was produced early 1983

        I have a T-60, white with maple dot neck. Great guitar!! I contacted Peavey a couple of years ago, and they told me their serial/numbering system was not very good, and said there was really no way to tell what year it was made. From what I understand they started making them in about 76 up until about 84.

        Try peavey.com website. While you are there download a manual and see what a wonderful instrument this is. I have one, black with black rosewood fingerboard and pearl dots.
        My serial number starts with 011 there must have been plenty sold. I saw one (natural color) for sale in a pawn shop. They wanted $600.Canadian

        Mine is natural with maple neck. Very solidly built, serial no 00345831, and in good condition.

        I’ve already contacted Peavey customer service, and will post details if there is a ‘formula’ to the serial no order.

        Someone I know once described the T60 as ‘the best guitar that they had ever owned’

          You cannot get a guitar today made like these t60,s without spending big dollars. Go to Ebay to get one. They normally sell for what they cost new . 2 to 3 hundred. A bargain for a great guitar.

        1. peavey T-60
          k harlan

          The name burned into your T-60 is probably NOT Chip Dale, but instead it’s Chip Todd. Chip was the lead designer/developer of the T series of Peavey guitars. Hartley Peavey wanted to market a guitar of very good quality and then sell it at a reasonable price point.

          If you have the name burned in – that is one that Chip has worked on in recent years. It’s not something the factory did. i’d need a picture or two but there has most likely been some custom work done on your guitar.

      It has the built and sound of a LP, the only thing I don’t like is it’s cheap looking tuners. But, I can’t complain for a US$170 guiatr!! 🙂

      I bought mine in New Glasgow,Nova Scotia,Canada in around 1988 it was second hand but it was in good shape.Mine was also ivory in color and really metallic, had 2 single coils and a humbucker and a fine tuner tremelo bridge. I still use this guitar today although i’ve had neck work done.The humbucker sounds great and the whole guitar is really quiet.I can’t find anything out about this guitar and i’ve really tried!, it seems its pretty rare.I’ve seen another guitar that was very similar it was called a "Gibson USA-1" but it did’nt bare the epiphone name. It was the same headstock and pickup config. also the three mini toggle swicthes for pickup selection.

    should we ask? Haven’t been able to find much info on the net. Will appreciate any help we can get.

      Epiphone has rights to build Les Pauls to Gibson specs. They are mostly built in Korea. There is a wide range of prices. See if you can locate the guitars model at http://www.musiciansfriend.com. One thing to consider too is does it have a hard shell case? These usually cost between $60 and $70. If so, I would offer the dealer $200 cash.

        I just purchased a wine red ephiphone with sunburst les paul about 5 months ago. I have played a wide selection of gibson les pauls and cannot tell the difference. What I can tell you is this, these guitars sound great! I also liked the gold hardware but be wary of one thing, if your home is very humid, you might want to invest in a humidor, because the gold machinery is prone to surface rust.

  14. 1970's possibily early 80's Gibson
    Larry

    I’m looking for pictures or info ona guitar that was made by Gibson in the the mid 70’s I think around the time of the L-5. What I remember the most was that it had single coils like a strat and I believe it was maple and a double cutaway. I don’t think was seen at the time as as sleek ro as pretty as the other Gibson products. It didn’t last long in production and I can’t seem to eyeball in achives or galleries.

      :I was wondering if Peavey guitars come in three quarter and half sizes. And if so, do only certain models come in smaller
      sizes or can any Peavey be purchased in a smaller size. I’m asking because I want to learn to play and I
      have small hands which makes it hard to play on a full size. Any information you might have on how I could
      find a guitar more my size would be helpful.Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.

        C.F. Martin Company, Stinger Model Guitars 1985-1996
        In November of 1985, C.F. Martin unveiled its Stinger line of solidbody electric guitars and bass’s. Most
        Stinger guitars were made by the world renowned Samick Piano Company located at 424 Cheongcheon 2-Dong, Bupyeong-gu Inchuon, South Korea and shipped to the C.F. Martin factory located at 510 Sycamore Street, Nazareth, PA.18064 for a final inspection and set-up. In 1989 Martin expanded by 10% adding 6,200 square feet to their warehouse to accommodate for the Stinger line. After final set-up some guitars received a clear decal placed on the seven digit, serial numbered neck plate that stated “Prepared and Inspected by C. F. Martin & Co., Inc.” before being distributed to dealers. The Stinger guitar line was advertised as “Stinger from the Martin Company”. However, not all Stinger guitars have a serial number. C.F. Martin also advertised and sold Stinger brand guitar strings also in 1989 amplifiers and effects boxes. All Stinger models had a one year warranty on the guitar and 90 day’s on the electronics. Stingers were built to C.F. Martin specifications and are high quality.
        C.F. Martin never actually produced Stinger catalogs, but they are known to be listed in some Martin catalogs, magazines and flyers. C.F. Martin claims they did not record any serial numbers so a detailed record is unavailable. Early Stingers were four basic body styles, a conventional Strat shape, a Strat-style with an arched top, a Tele and a Precision style bass. These came in a variety of finish and pickup configuration options. Headstocks were a kind of modified Strat-style six-in-line, with a pointed throat and slightly hooked nose, with a painted (or decal) triangular Stinger logo running under the strings. All had bolt-on maple necks and frett board. Guitars were 25.4”, and the basses were 34” scale.
        Sources other than available flyers do not mention all the fingerboard and hardware color options.
        The basses followed a similar pattern. The SBX sported one split-coil pickup, volume, tone and black, candy apple red, white pearl and gun metal finishes, with matching colored neck and colored chrome hardware.
        The SBL-10 (1986-1988) offered a split neck pickup and single-coil bridge pickup, with two volumes, master tone, three-way select, cream, black, white, and black pearl finish option, with matching maple neck and hardware.
        The 1988 November Stinger price list contained the SWG strat ($281), SGV ($294), SSX Strat ($308), and STX ($330) guitars and the SBX ($337) and SBL-10 ($367) basses, the black SSX and SBX now available in lefty versions (add $15). Essentially these were unchanged in options. Other known Stinger guitars are the SSX-10, SSL-20, SSZ, SPX, SRX and ST4.
        Three guitars and two basses were listed in the Guitar World 1990-91 Guitar Buyer’s Guide.
        Basses were the SBL and SBL-105. The SBL was a P-bass with split-coil and single-coil pickups, rosewood ’board, and black hardware. The SBL-105 is a five-string version of the SBL. These later models had a “Shark Tooth” headstock which was originally designed by Randy Rhoads for his custom built Jackson guitar.
        These last Stingers apparently hung around for a year or so. In the Guitar World 1992-93 Guitar Buyer’s Guide only one Stinger guitar was listed, the ST-2, an inexpensive Strat with three single-coil pickups. No basses were listed (The ST2 was available in a guitar and bass model).
        In 1993 Martin Stinger sales lagged. The Stinger ST-2, tremelo Strats in black, red and white were still in the 1996 C.F. Martin catalog. Stingers are well built guitars that setup well, with a decent hefty feel. Stingers were always well made, clearly “Martins.” However, C.F. Martin Co. claims they where only distributors the Stinger due to the Trademark. However, Martin is heavily associated with the Stinger guitar line.

      1. I actually have a stinger
        Brandon Underwood

        I actually have a stinger srx offset v model ive had since 94. I can only find a pic in an old flyer of 1. If anybody has 1 or info about them i would appreciate seeing n hearing about it.

      2. they made a modified V-shaped one as well
        Anonymous

        I purchased a stinger (X-16 was the model) back in 85-86. It was shaped very similar to the Dean that dimebag played. It was flat black, double humbucker , with a Floyd licensed trem.

        I picked it up in Toronto, Ontario and took it with me when I moved to Morro Bay California. I came back to Toronto in ’88 without the guitar and eventually it was lost 🙁 I still think about this guitar all the time, and the fact that I can’t find any more information on it has been driving me crazy for years.

        what I would give to have that guitar back!!

      3. tremolo
        Shawn Matthews

        Why did the Stinger SSL-1 have a non-Floyd post spacing? I cannot find a single tremolo system to replace mine after the block broke on it. Martin and Samick have been unhelpful.
