Guitar
This is the one!!!!!
Yes. . . . THE ONE!!!!!
Again, this is for anyone who has followed this blog from the beginning and this
guitar is the very same one that I described in my blog entry of April, 2010.
Sumbro Les Paul
This was my first "proper" guitar, that was mine. . . . . all mine.
Sumbro was sold through Charles Summerfield Ltd, who also had a brand
called CSL.
If you have a read of the April entry, it will tell you all about getting the guitar.
During rehearsals, this little beauty would be playing stuff from the Stones,
Climax Blues Band, Ace, Bad Co. Lizzy. etc, etc.
I just loved the thing and a bit like the bit in The summer of 69. . . . I played
it almost - "til my fingers bled"
Happy days.
I think this shot would date from around 1976 ish???
I am so glad I have found these long lost pictures. :)
Next time, my very first guitar, ever and my old Simms Watts combo.
Cheers. :)

- Jedson Telecaster And Simms-watts Ike Isaacs Combo. . . . . .
Like the other recent posts, these images date back to the 1970's Copy guitars that are available now, are so much better than some of the ones that were available around 40 years ago. Jedson was one of the more sought after makes and this...
- Atilla Balogh Odyssey Bass - Two More Found.
Back in the 70's, in Vancouver, Canada, a man called Atilla Balogh, along with his colleagues, started making Odyssey Basses and Guitars. I am really glad he did!! This is one of mine. I think it's time to come...
- Peavey T-40 And T-60 Users And Literature. .
Peavey were keen to let it be known that their guitars were being used by major artists, at the time - perhaps the most famous, was Ross Valory of the band, Journey. There was also Leon Medica of Le Roux and Banner Thomas from Molly...
- Time Passes. . . .
I had the Sumbro for about 3 years and as I had something half decent, I found that I could do a swap with someone for a week, which lead me down all sorts of paths. I remember that the first Telecaster guitar I borrowed, was a "Jedson" and it was...
