Hows it going 1bassleft?

In reply to your attempt to uncover the true story behind CMI guitars and amps, I would like to tell you briefly about my CMI.

Les Paul in natural finish neck and main body. The main body is comprised of 2 sorts of wood with the upper layer surface made of what could possibly be beach and the back side possibly ash.
The neck is quite possibly made of beach and made of 3 pieces. The finger board possibly ash and has black suuare inlays at 1,3,5,7,9 frets and so on.

Both body and neck are banded in ivory and black (plastic I should think?), though the neck is just ivory. Black scratch plate.

All the bit n pieces had a guilded finish (gold look) that started to show signs of wear.

It was bought in Birmingham, England around 1976 for around GBP 120.00

I have just had it revamped with new Grover machine heads and Jeff Beck (Seymore Duncan) pick ups, new toggle switch and wireing.

I dont know if it is possible to upload a picture og it, will check that out in a minuet if not, I would gladly send you a phote to your mail address.

Regarding the logo, it seems to me almost identical to the one one the first picture you have of the CMI amp with the exception of the’ C ‘is adjoined to the ‘I’ on the bottom edge and is in gold with a mother of pearl diamond like pattern on the head.

Hope this info has been usefull and please do get back and let me know what you find out.

All the best

Huskey
