A Wonderland of Vintage Guitars .. Hoboken Vinatge Guitar's !! Pic's ..

Hey all took a trip to a little town in Jersey called Hoboken about a half hour away from me to get a set of Uncle Lou's tuner tips installed on my 05 R8 and not only did they take great care of me but I discovered a wonderland of vintage guitars and vintage parts !!

Here's the tech putting on my Uncle Lou's tips.


The finished product ..


Here's a wall of vinatge Gibson's ..


Vinatge LP juniors & TV's


50's PAF covers , truss plates , a real vinatge ABR1


A real 1959 Lifton case !!


A great place to check out if you ever get to Jersey !! or here's the website ..

A good fan never abandons his team !! Even when they have the worst September collapse of any team in baseball history !!

Wow -- I did not know these guys even existed. I always shoot down to Lark Street Music -- these guys are not to far from Buzzy's place.


Will definitely stop by this week....will make it a point to leave my credit card home

It just kinda looks that way in the pic .. I'm pretty detail oriented as far as the vintage accuracy of my R8 !! I made him install like 10 different tuners till he got them all right !! ..... Here is a 1958 with real buttons and mine are spaced exactly the same as it !!


1958


R8

I'm pretty obsessed about the vintage accuracy of my R8 ! So as you can see by the comparison pic with BOTB . I have changed almost everything to vintage correct !!

For those of you on the forum looking for vintage Gibby parts .. Hoboken has lots of those in stock !!! The prices aint cheap but vintage stuff is getting harder to find all the time !!

I was looking at vintage parts on Ebay and saw that Hoboken sells under the name partsdrawer ... Seems like the bad economy has brought vintage stuff down a lil .. Some reasonable prices ..
