De-fretted Dean Edge 5 and spray-painted Guild Pilot.
Many thanks to Jamie Amos for sending in this Tron-esque pair!
Guild X50 Archtop.
Guild had intended for this to be their answer to the Gibson 125, but the Franz single coil pickup they used took the sound into quite different territory.

Just one of those under appreciated yet rock-solid basses that the greats always have in their collection yet never show off on tour. You know the ones, the bass that they go to when they can’t quite get the right sound. It’s supportive in all the right areas yet never draws attention to itself….Hang on, I appear to have digressed onto what makes a good pair of underpants…. Anyway, it’s a gorgeous Bass and deserves way more love than it gets.

This slightly offset SG copy was produced between 1965 and 1999, with the special edition carved model being available in the mid-70’s when everyone in the company was clearly doing far too much coke and had lost a lot of their critical faculties….

Again, here’s another guitar that was considered entry-level when it first appeared, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to find this at entry-level prices without access to a time machine.
Don’t be deceived, this may look like a solid body electric but its actually a hollow-body archtop, similar in shape to a Les Paul but less than half the weight. Brendan Benson (He of The Raconteurs and, well, Brendan Benson) is exceptionally fond of his 1959 model.
Ok, not only is it a beautiful 1966 Guild Starfire XII, its JOHN LENNON’S Guild Starfire XII, currently residing in the Hard Rock Cafe, Honolulu, and rumoured to be involved in the recording of the ‘Getting Better’ era songs.
Produced between 1967 and 1977 and favoured by yer average psychedelic bass god, these beauties found its way into the stables of, amongst others, Jack Casady of Jefferson Airplane and Phil Lesh of The Grateful Dead.
