Nice! Thanks for digging that up. I've had my eye on Peavey T60 and T15 for years. But, never got either. They seem like cool guitars.

But, the question is how do you really feel about it! ;-)

Yeah, there's a list of his amps: Peavey Classic 20, DE, 212 Classic & Com 50/30. I don't know if this list is everything Quine had bc I remember seeing a Fernandez guitar of his there too.

It's a 1-off made from parts. So No Other like it. It actually plays pretty well. The neck feels very long & is best played standing. It was a little weird on my lap. The action is tiny bit high at the body. Both pups are always on. The tone is strong & clean. Overall better playing than expected.

Yeah, it is kinda close to the Parker headstock. The neck is an original Vox. I don't think it's been modified. So it dates to the early 1960s.

Yeah, spotted that. It's pretty amazing!

That I don't know. But, if you zoom in on the photo, they noted he tuned it to DADGAD for When the Levee Breaks, In My Time of Dying, Kashmir & Black Mountain Side. I'm pretty sure he had a couple of these guitars. So maybe the other one was tuned as you noted.

I have a copy of the complete inventory of his guitars. There were no Peavey's in that lot. The bulk of his guitars were Fenders. But, def a few other brands. All the guitars went to Carmine Street Guitars when Robert died. Rick was friends with Quine. It took about 2-3 years for them to all sell.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, remembering tonal differences after 40 years is def hard to do. I bet someone might want those pickups if you find them for a restoration.

I'm pretty sure you are correct about it having a battery. I think that's what the little white cover is for on the back of the body. This guitar sold about 20 years ago. So I don't recall all the details.

Interesting. I never played it with a mic nearby. That could be an interesting effect if used correctly. Def in the Noize realm.

I'm digging the 2pu red Vox. The red seems to be more common than the sunbursts. But, it looks great!

The pickups sound promising!

A Typhone allows one to make telephone calls in a Typhoon! ;-)

It's an unusual Vox headstock, eh.

Waldo Jeffers - The Gift - Velvet Underground

Let's hope the war is over by then. I biked up to the venue last week and it was entirely closed down. This is public park that I've never seen it shut off unless they were setting up a show. I have to assume this was a security risk bc of the war. fwiw

A friend suggested I check out SUNN O several years back but warned they were loud. So I bailed. My ears have rang since seeing Camper Van Beethovan at CBGB's in 1989.

I've used VIBES ear plugs in recent years. But, would never go to any show without ear plugs. Get the best ones you can.

Kinda cool. Very interesting design. It looks more like molded plastic or fiberglass. It reminds me of the Switch Guitars which are all molded plastic.

Absolutely that! It's a really nice size and projected fairly well for an electric.

VOX “Winchester”, right-handed, guitar with two pickups, red solid body with chambered enclosure covered in black tolex made circa 1962 (mods probably done later.) Our love for the unique really takes hold with this guitar. It’s definitely a one-of-a-kind. Our best guess is this guitar started out life as a left-handed VOX Ace (or possibly Super Ace) with two pickups (or possibly 3) and a red solid body. It appears to have been partially cut up with with part of the side added to the end. Then, a hollow enclosure was created around the body and covered in a black tolex type material. The pickups are the same as used in 1962 on the Ace and Super Ace. The pickguard is a left-handed Ace or Super Ace pickguard that’s been cut to fit the body. And, a piece of Vox amp material covers the center pickup hole. The tremolo might be from slightly later but it appears to be a 1960s style. The pickup controls/toggles turn them on/off and are also located on the upper bout. The jack along with the volume and tone control are located on the upper side of the body. Finally, a metal plate was stamped with the Winchester Custom name along with Jennings Musical Instruments and a serial number. So the question becomes who made it. Based on the plate, it’s possible it was a project by a Vox employee using extra parts from the factory. It’s made in the style of Les Paul’s Plank, LaBaye’s 2×4 SIX, Bo Diddley’s Gretsch “Twang Machine”, or it’s an homage to the painfully rare Vox Winchester made at the factory; which almost none exist. When it was made is anyone’s guess. It could be from the early 1960s or possibly later in the 1970s, But, whomever made it did a very good job considering it’s a Frankenstein guitar. Description from VintageSilvertones.com The guitar plays very well & the electronics work correctly. The two toggle switches are on & off for each pickup or both together. The pickups are very strong & have a unique tone. Description from VintageSilvertones.com

Thanks for the reblog. Yeah, it's a cool guitar, eh. When Robert died most of his stuff went to 2 local shops in Greenwich Village. We picked up the guitars, efx, and even some of his record collection. I have one album in particular that folks might find interesting. Will have to photo that soon.

Jerry Jones def made sweet guitars!

Guitar is from 1983. So it predates the Lace pickups. This is the way Fender described them:
Pickups: noise-canceling system, 1 single-coil neck/middle/bridge
Controls: master vol, master tone (TBX), mid-boost (MDX)
Active preamp circuitry w/special TBX & MDX controls & pickup noise reduction system

I've found a lot of guitars struggle to hold tune after using the trem. So always recommend it for the end of a song when playing live.

How do the EMG's compare to the original pickups?

They're a great band! Def under recognized. But, Blank Generation does keep them on the map.

That Cindy Guitars, guitar is pretty unique. The neck/headstock was made by MicroFrets where Rick Kelly worked. He got a bunch of their parts after they closed and has been using them periodically. It's kind of Carmine St Guitars/Cindy Guitars/MicroFrets hybrid.

Agreed, it's a nice looking guitar. They're a little hard to find now. After we sold it, they seemed to be more in-demand. They're fun to play guitars.

That's one of my fav shots of them with Johnny holding a Silvertone/Danelectro guitar!

Nice! We posting the Robert Quine Strat Elite a few days ago. It's definitely a different take on the classic Strat styling.
