Nice though the CMI Strats and Teles can be, sellers just have to accept that they go for around £120 usually. Me, I'd keep it rather than settle for that but the market won't pay more. I was wondering if you'd fancy a bit of work and taking on that LP. Hope it stays low for you  |

Hi,
I'm in Britain, and I have a black CMI, and the logo is the same as the photo here of the white tele. copy - with the block-style lettering, with the 'C' that stretches to the end of the 'i'. It was bought years ago, and only for the amp that came with it. It was dirt-cheap, out of the newspaper. I'd never really been aware of it as a model, in fact I found it rather odd as I'd not seen another with that logo, so I presumed it was a bit naff, really. I never could work out if it was CMI, or EMI. Part of the lettering has rubbed off. Mine is solid black, with a white edge; and it has 4 knobs at the bottom right (2 tone, 2 vol). I wish it looked like a tele, as that is cuter. It cost prob. no more than 15 pounds, amp. inc. I'm more for acoustic, and the amp is no great shakes, so I can't say I have been knocked out by it.
I've found your thread interesting, and I hope you don't mind me pitching in. |

Hellooo olemuso,
I'm in the Midlands. 'Me mam' was born in L'pool, and we are frequently 'up north' - between L'pool and West Kirby. Didn't get there during Capital of Culture year, but will soon.
Cheers ears!

Mine is the same as the photo posted by Goodge on Mon Jul 28, 2008. Mine doesn't have the metal plate covering the action-thingy on the head, and it doesn't look like it was supposed to have one, unless someone poly-fillered the screw holes!
Byeeee |

| Hi folks, I picked up a SG-812 powered PA head. 6 channel input with reverb, foot switch control for reverb, and 100 watt X 2 output. Very retro and heavy. This thing was built like a tank, it has been used so much, a lot of the paint on the control board that tells what each control does is worn off, but it still works great. Gibson was able to email me schematics but I would like more info like a brochure or owners manual. Any other owners of this unique beast please let me know. As well as these things are built, I can't believe I'm the only person who has one of these. |
