Two more I found at the back of the cupboard!
The one on the left is unbranded and came from a pawn stop. It needs better pups but feels great. The one on the right was built for me by my late friend and band mate. It's all 'proper' woods and sounds wonderful. Let's See Your Red Guitars!-20251023_165850-jpg

I hope he took his shoes off, well, at least his right one!

I'd have loved my complete lifetime with that Gibson Super 400.

Do we have to keep re-posting the photograph??? I think it's ridiculous to keep posting the photo. Make your comments/additions without it.

Here are mine, a Mesrobian 17 Gibson L5 clone

and an Epiphone 339 with an old Ken Armstrong pickup

Having spotted this on Ebay I could not resist; I've been fancying an offset body guitar for a while.

Sadly, I suspect it will not assist me in sounding anything like Joe Pass.

Yes!

The Super 400 photo reminded me of one I overlooked, although it's hard to overlook a red S400.

'94 Gibson Super 400C Custom:

Had to think hard about what I have today. Best I could come up with for all red.

The story behind the 67 Custom Shop Flying V is that my first Gibson was a 1970 Medallion Flying V. It had had a hard life, Grovers fitted, pickup covers lost, pickup rings added, finish and pickguard seriously discoloured, case lost. Plus some spec issues I didn’t like. At that time for a while Gibson decided on a 90 degree neck pitch which felt really strange to play and there was no vibrola like on Andy Powells guitar. I wouldn’t thank you for another one of those. I bought this to make up for it. It is now aging nicely. Only issue is the bizarre one off choice of nickel hardware so I’m thinking of getting correct chrome pickup covers, bridge and vibrola to finish it. It’s featherweight and sings like a bird.

The Lonnie Mack V was bought from Gary’s Classic in Cincinnati (where else). It is made with all of the construction details and joints that the custom shop 58 reissues have and is a monster guitar - thicker 50s body with a monster thick neck. It is a little heavier and I’m guessing if the scrap metal was removed it’s inherently a light guitar.

Sold the amp, still have the guitar. Amp looked super cool, sounded good, but I have others I liked better.

Not at all shabby, my friend! That’s some serious guitar history and very cool.

You may not be able to play like Joe but you could certainly sound like him, circa 1964, on that guitar.

Hamer. I don’t know how to rotate photo but it’s red.

**MtnCat** · 10-24-2025, 03:07 PM

Lighting, camera, focus, reflections, shaky hands...but fairly close approximation.

This Dean guitar is very red! Picked it up recently for $130, in very good condition and sounds good. Has some nicks but no fretware, a short in the output jack, needs a set-up, so really a no-brainer at that price. Believe it's an older model, made in Korea.
