Celebrity Roll Call

[oipunkguy]

about 4 years ago action music in the DC area had two celebrities for sale at the same time. from what I remember I think they both were celebrity 3 models. one was transparent green the other I think was orange. pretty sure it was the original finish.

I've attached some Mosrite literature that shows the Celebrity III with the vibrato and the specification sheet shows it as optional equipment

You go Girlie!!!

I'm such a pest aint I?!?

Hey, isn't that a great music store OR WHAT?!??! I used to work at an ad agency not too far from there and loved visiting it. Spent way too much time and money in that place! Matt was the fellow I usually dealt with.

Have you been to Atomic Music? Used to be in College Park, MD; now in Beltsville and Rockville. They sometimes have some astonishing vintage stuff.

OK, I have a Celebrity I (w/Trem) and a CE III (no trem). I'm on the hunt for a bunch of different parts,etc.
But the guitar I'm keeping my eye out for is the CE-II MARK I pictured below on the left side. I know there's
some places that have them, the problem is, they KNOW they have them .....

Jim, you following this? Either he or I can put you in touch with a guy who should still have one for sale.

Yep!!! I emailed one of the fellows whose info you sent me last night, after studying the three different Celebrities. Oddly enough, the one I want most is the same one Dennis mentions!

Though I am not going to be picky.

I'll keep my eyes open. As I am understanding it, the CE II that you want would have the natural color headstock with the chrome tuner buttons, tremelo, etc? Is that right? Do you care about color?

Hey Gang,
I'd be happy to find a CE-II MARK I in good condition period. It would be a home run in a Sunburst with a Black Headstock and a TREM System, but that might not happen. But it most definitely
would have to have a TREM System and be in good condition. And again I know there are a lot of Vintage Stores that have these, however there prices are not realistic to my financial situation

Hey, Gang--

Since my eBay sales didn't pull in the amount I had hoped, I am bidding on an ugly duckling Celebrity on eBay right now:

It sure needs work and the case is a chipboard one, but what can I do? "No bucks; no Buck Rogers."

Anyway, please wish me luck and any educated guesses as to what the year and exact Celebrity this is will be appreciated.

Hi Jim, more of a partsrite than an ugly duckling in my opinion. That guitar is all over the place. But if the price is right, who's to say that it won't meet your needs.
