Re: Drifter Guitar!!
OK Drifters! I found a nice Drifter Guitar, it's a red one, pretty good shape at the pawn shop for 199...I liked the guitar because I need something with that John Lee Hooker Epiphone sound...seems to have it...I talked them down to 129! These posts made me buy it...Thank you all...
ok, i found a Drifter 1970 Catalog...it's at vintaxe.com, though I don't wanna pay 10 bucks just to look at a 6 page catalog...if anyone does pay, email me...I'll trade you something like music, etc...Again, thank you Drifter owners...I'm gonna be pretty happy once i string this Drifter left handed...this this looks, feels, and sounds just magnificent! I was looking for a one of a kind guitar...and now i'm so stoked!

: I bought my drifter from a pawnshop and I found that it is a 1970s drifter it looks like the electric Epiphone which the Epi is made by Gibson mine is a 6 string and I paid only $60.00, but other then that I really dont know to much other then they were made by Gibson and I think it was one of their off brand set of electric guitars.

First guitar I ever owned. 1978-79. Black, Les Paul Copy. I had gold hardware, but I think they came chrome also. After some tweaking, it really was a nice guitar. Dropped the action a little, put some new tuning keys on it and I played the hell out of it. From 8th grade, high school jazz band and then college. I regret selling mine, so I would hang onto it. Alot of people will talk it down, so what. I can give you some pointers to make it a killer axe, or if it is for sell, I am interested.
Enjoy it, my Drifter was a trusted friend, part of my jamming history.

Re: Drifter Guitar!!
Hello all!
I have a question. I just bought a Drifter LP in cherry red/burgundy, not a sunburst, for $45 and it seems pretty old, maybe from the 70's. The thing is, when I brought it home I saw after further inspection that there's about a 4-5 in. crack running from the nut down the side of the neck. I was wondering if you thought it would be worth it to get it repaired. The trim around the body is very slightly cracked in spots where it would've been naturally worn from age and lots of use. Also there's a chip on the front, a couple light scratches on the back and the headstock plastic is a bit cracked/warped. So, what do you think, is it worth it to fix the crack in the neck?

Re: Drifter Guitar!!
I have the same guitar. I cant figure who makes it either, but i did find a company that has replacement parts. Its called Stewart-MacDonald. This company has every part you need. They sell everything to build custom. so what ever you need they have.
