toggle switch mounted on the bass side of the upper horn??.... :shock:

You are probably right. :?

I tried to find that CD to see it for sure but couldn't locate it yet. I will let you know when I find it. :oops:

I've played that guitar in person and there are no switches on the upper horn. There are two mini toggles down by the volume knob. It is essentially an American (VIII) model, with only two pickups.

Can any of you guys tell me if this is a Tony Hunt body? I got it from a friend here in Arkansas who said it was made locally. Another friend that knew Tony said it looked like one of his guitars and I know Tony worked for Gretsch and Mosrite when they had factories in Arkansas. Take a look..

Here is a pic of my Tony Hunt Pro Stereo, I got it from the son of Mr. Hunts neighbors. It's an amazing guitar, one of my favorite players ever. As far as that body goes, I have no idea if its his, but I do have his telephone number, PM me. I spoke with him about a month ago regarding my guitar, he is a great guy and a pleasure to speak with. He jokingly told me that "he was finally getting one of them Hunt guitars because he knows the guy that makes 'em". Ha. He also told me that Semie was his best friend. He is a really sweet guy and I'm pretty sure that, as long as you are respectful he wouldn't mind taking your call. He does not email. :)

Yes he really looks quite religious, he's been an outlaw all his life
