That's a damn cool looking ho. If it's playable and sounds ok, it'll be even better! I like it. Do we have a T Bird Ho thread here? I'll search and see. If not, I'll start it up again.

Possibly medium, but seller says it's 35" from bridge to nut. No telling exactly where he took the measurement, though.

But you never know: Some of these old basses turn out to be gems, soundwise.

A nice "Tequila" (tm) refin and she'll be a go-er...  :o

Well, Mark, it is "St George's Day" over here...

Never heard of this or ever seen anything like her - anybody else have any ideas - good luck with the bidding...

Title: Re: T Bird Ho
Post by: Highlander on April 27, 2009, 04:01:34 PM

Well - did she cost you $202...?

Title: Re: T Bird Ho
Post by: TBird1958 on April 27, 2009, 08:20:23 PM

Nope!

 It was a cute Ho' fo' sho'.......... but $202 woulda made it the "high price spread"
Not worth that, I just wanted to hang it on the wall  :)

I found this on the Vintaxe forum

"The St. George brand name is associated with 2 Japanese import companies, Buegeleisen & Jacobson of New York and WMI of Los Angeles. The St. George label was used on Japanese import guitars from the mid to late 1960's. They were entry-level guitars and weren't know for great production quality. As for value, the 2004 Vintage Guitar Price Guide estimates values for St. George guitars in good condition to be between $60 and $150."

So good call on the price, even allowing for inflation.

Mention of WMI takes us here ...
