crunchee Posted January 7 Posted January 7 No affiliation. IIRC, I don't remember seeing these in Tobacco Sunburst, the ones I remember were in Cherry Transparent, plus also the silver 'Vanguard' model; but anything's possible I suppose. The finish looks like it might be suffering from 'Pizza Day', though I don't see any obvious fingerprints under the finish: Artist 25th Anniversary Edition '99 – Dave's Guitar Shop 2 Quote
donner Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Good price and good looker, too! IF anybody anywhere snagged this, congrats! 2 Quote
burningyen Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Wow, very cool. I recall seeing a couple of black ones, but not a burst one. Quote

bruce919 Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I am amazed how quick items disappear off there site. I try to look at it at least twice a day. 3 Quote
Cary Posted January 8 Posted January 8 I seem to remember there being 13 black ones. Didn’t know they made any others in anything besides red. Did this one actually say 25th Anniversary on the headstock? 2 Quote

crunchee Posted January 9 Author Posted January 9 Yes it did, I made it a point to check the headstock when I originally saw it. I had one in cherry transparent several years ago, and both had the same '25th Anniversary' legend on the headstock. 3 2 Quote

BadgerDave Posted January 9 Posted January 9 I have no actual knowledge of this, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the many 1-off guitars built for Bill Kaman. 1 Quote
crunchee Posted January 9 Author Posted January 9 BTW, if anybody wants copies of the photos of this guitar listing from DGS, they keep them on file for a week or so usually, just in case the guitar gets returned and needs to be relisted. They might be able to accomodate if they're asked nicely. 1 Quote
from my fingers Posted January 10 Posted January 10 No not a 25th anniversary, just an artist, but the sticker is the only difference right ? Quote
velorush Posted January 10 Posted January 10 16 hours ago, from my fingers said: No not a 25th anniversary, just an artist, but the sticker is the only difference right ? According to THE BOOK (pp.152) the 25th Anniversary Model was an "all mahogany Artist without body binding, finished in cherry transparent with a small script below the headstock logo designating it as the Anniversary model. A very limited number of black 25th anniversary model guitars exist in the run, which ended in 1999." No mention of a burst, which lends credence to @BadgerDave's theory of a special one-off. 4 Quote
from my fingers Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Black, all mahogany, no binding, no small script. i wondered how many black "artistes" there were when i got it. my guess is 13 with 25th logo, obviously more without ? Quote

Dave Scepter Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Quite the difference in photography quality between Dave's and the new Reverb ad 1 Quote
