Welcome Cascade! Are you looking for a Celebrity, or a Combo/Joe Maphis?

That's a Celebrity circa 1972-74.

This one may be just your size:

Welcome!
That is the version of the Celebrity 1 I wouldn't mind having myself. What is interesting are the humbucking pickups that are standard with this version, giving it a more traditional warm, round jazzy tone.

These are also high on my GAS list. Also, note the by pass switches under the pickguard.

Hi Sarah,
I commented on the humbucking pickups. Have you ever noted much of a difference tonally between these maple/humbuckered Celebritys and the traditional single coil Celebrity 1s?

Hope I'm not hijacking here, but our new member may find this info of interest as well.
