your serial number has 6 digits begining with a 73, there seems to be little infomation on this number range, but from what i can make out, its from the years '71, '72 or '73, maybe seems a little too obvious to be a 1973 seeing as it begins with a 73, but from what ive read on gibson serial numbers i think yours is definatly around those 3 years.

Hi. I picked up a Framus 5/118-52 Vintage Semi-Acoustic guitar a few years ago. Can anyone tell me a bit about this guitar, maybe an estimated price, I recieved a couple of qoutes, but I don't know how reliable they are. The guitar is actually in mint condition.
Sonata Guitars are distributed by Brook Mays Music. They are basically a Korean guitar of good quality and are usually a pretty good value. I have owned a few in the past but currently only have their twelve string model. I am pleased with the guitar and wouldn't hesitate to buy another.
I had a 1980 Sonata Dreadnought given to me by a friend recently. It definitely will not be replacing my usual guitar on stage. It is pretty good for just jamming around on. It's got too much bottom-end and not enough brilliance for me.

I have an acoustic guitar with a rectangular sticker inside that reads Model No. 120776. No brand name, no indication of where it was made. There is a dove on each side of the pick guard sitting on a branch of what looks like roses. Doves and roses are painted on (paint transferred on) black plastic. I think it may be a Gibson Dove knockoff. Thanks. Pam

I have never changed out an pickguard on an electric guitar. I have a American made Fender Tele and I'd like to change the stock white pickguard for something a little more snappy. Can anyone describe the process for me? I can handle the part where I unscrew the screws...I'm just now sure if it will require and solder work with the neck pickup. Thanks.

I have a CBS MASTERWORKS accoustic guitar. The year is approx 1965, dreadnaught style, Looks like brazillian sides and back. Has any one ever heard of this guitar?

Hi I bought this really sick black Epiphone guitar but I don't know the history to it. Can someone please help me on this? I will try to describe the guitar to you as best as I can. It is a solid body with one humbucker and two single coils. The Neck looks like and Explores necks it has black hardware like a Gothic series. The fret board is made out of fose wood, oh and the body has a licnesed Floyd Rose.
Sounds like an epiphone explorer but you never described the body, i wanna say its an epiphone gothic explorer/FR (FR meaning floyd rose trem system) if your guitar actually is an epi explorer, they are really nice guitars, a cheap alternative to a gibson explorer, and easily customizable without worry of ruining it.send pictures, Trevor

The fret board is made out of fose wood, oh and the body has a licnesed Floyd Rose.
The body style of my guitar really doesn't have the X shape like the explorer really has. It has more of a Ibanez shape expect without the sharp edges. Its really nice and it does have the FR on it. The strange thing it has rare locking for the FR and only eight serial numbers on the neck.
Yes, I am sorry I forgot to add one more thing the body also looks like the fat epiphone model its had the one humbucker to single coils. The body also has a five way switch and two knobs one for tone and volume. Its sick dude I need to get a camera and take pic. Thanks for your help on this.
The Randall looks OK, it all depends on whats good to your ear, i always say if you play it and it sounds good to you, then buy it. Ive never played a Randall, they look as if the metal players use them, so if you like that dimebag type of music then go for it, it wont let you down, but ask yourself why you dont see much Randall about? why does everyone play a Marshall head and stack? why dont the pro's play an Epi les paul? why do they play Gibson les pauls? is the Randall a Valve amp? 200 watts? is it Solid state? how many players use solid state amps? if you want a heavier sound try pushing a good quality distortion pedal through the front of the marshall amp. You should do some research into the sound the you want, look into what your fav players are using, maybe go from there, but dont rush into anything.
Good call guys, the Randall really is awesome, but probably would be better suited for metal. I think im gonna take another look at the Marshalls.

Go to either www.ebay.co.uk or www.ebay.com type in
'decal' on the search, and modify it to musical instruments, there are a good few on there. not many ESP but you should e-mail the sellers and ask them for what you want, they should have it.
