Carnut12 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I got my Shelby Guitar, not sure the pictures do it justice. Very nice, debating getting it signed, worried about sending it back and forth. Here are some pics- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Shelby Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Was this purchased through TS or private party? You have to get them from a Fender dealer . I got mine a month ago and it is bad a$$ . Just love it,,, Edited October 12, 2010 by B Shelby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnut12 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Correct I got it from a Fender dealer. I kept googling it and looking at what was available. I think I got a very good price at $1100 including shipping, ended up getting it off E-Bay using the Best Offer option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torch40 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Yep, that's the one. Be careful on this one. As stated the pick guard does not have the CS logo. I would get a real answer on that before purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Be careful on this one. As stated the pick guard does not have the CS logo. I would get a real answer on that before purchase. It should have the blue-edged white pickguard with the Shelby Automobiles logo on it. (Not Shelby American, BTW). The pickguards match the backplates. Strange. I've included a pic' below...

Jer Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) BTW, Guitars with signed pickguards are just signed pickguards attached to a guitar. If you can manage it, it is WAY cooler to get the guitar body itself signed. Hell, take the neck off, pack the rest of the guitar with tons of bubble wrap (NOT peanuts!) and ship it that way. Just my 2 cents... here in Vegas, the signed pickguard thing is rampant, and it's lost its allure somewhat. Jer p.s. I'll bet we see a signed "Shelby Automobiles" pickguard on a black Squier hitting eBay soon.... Edited October 13, 2010 by Jer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller told me that he received it that way from Fender a couple of weeks ago. He said he contacted Fender, but they didn't know anything.

GT500-07 Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 COOL thank you. I proposed to Robert and Sharon that we have it made and give it to Mr.Shelby as a gift from TS. No on followed up on it, so i approached Amy. She thought it was a get idea. So with her help I pulled it off. Here's a link to John's web site, enjoy. Billy Gibbons and Steve Miller loved the idea and the guitar. http://www.bolinguitars.com/bcsgallery.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
