There is only one way to recreate vintage Rock 'N Roll sound. The right instruments are required. Essentially all early Rock and Roll music was created using guitars manufactured in the U.S.A. by Gibson, Fender and Gretsch. Nothing else would do. Here are some "Tools Of The Trade".

Gibson Oxblood Artist Series Case The Artist Series cases were introduced in 1973. There were 3 versions; black and oxblood for the Les Paul; paisley for the SG. At their price points, they were not successful. The black and paisley show up from time to time but the oxblood version is another story. This proves that at least one does exist!

Gibson SG, Paisley Artist Case When was the last time you saw one of these. The Artist Series cases were available in black and oxblood Les Paul style and this Paisley SG version. Needless to say they were not big sellers. Here is one that looks as good as it did over 30 years ago.

Gibson Victory MVX This is the Victory in cherry sunburst. A mini toggle was added to access all 7 possible pickup combination. Also a Les Trem vibrato assemby was added for more versatility. In 1980 Gibson finally captured the single coil sound and called it the "Victory". This was another of the Gibson innovations that nobody seems to know about. Not only will it duplicate the legendary single coil sound, it still retains the vintage humbucking sound that made Gibson famous.
