Saw it on musician's friend and was intrigued.

"We're lousy, we can't play. If you wait until you can play, you'll be too old to get up there. We stink, really. But it's great," Johnny Ramone .

The picture doesn't match the description. Those are mini-bucker pickups. Description reads P-90s. I'd be weary as to what actually comes with the guitar.

Wow, sounds like you can actually surf with that Zak.

And here is, likely, the guitar in question. With P-90s. I must disgress, the video is the textbook example of completely inappropriate tone/set up for the type of music the guy is playing. Sounds so cheesy.

I posted the wrong guitar it turns out. The one I posted was made by the Gibson custom shop. Nonetheless, P-90s.

It's quite a lot like my first "proper" electric guitar. I've been tempted to buy one of these, but currently have other priorities, so this will have to wait... MF had a white one in the outlet store for $249.00. The price certainly seems right enough...

Holy hell I think at least 99% of that is the player. Shocked

What! Really! Seemed like a great player. I mean, he had a youtube video!

A guy from my town sells a vintage Epi Crestwood (1976) like this one:

Interesting...

How would it feel with a bigsby?

Went to one of their outdoor concerts, back in the day. My ears are still ringing from it.

CUTBACK

I had one of those Epiphones when I was 12 years old. My parents hired Mary Kay LeTourneau to teach me scales.

someone playing surf with a crestwood using a completely inappropriate rig for the surf-taliban audience here, of course:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-1z3jADj6A

My only problem with that is that the title says "Surfing with my..."

Why are people referring to playing surf as "Surfing". It is ridiculous...

I didn't realize that calling a large group of random strangers "narrow minded" was comical, or an exercise in sarcasm.

It isn't sarcasm, but it is definitely comical. The handicap for example...

my apologies if I opened an old wound anyway
