Same colour bobbins as my mates version of the same guitar. BTW, that's a white bobbin and not a cream one. Basically ink stamped on the bottom but without the "Super 70" . Reads "Antoria Custom Agent" on the pickguard. No Serial # and flower pot inlay so early. Hope sellers not thinking of shipping it in that cruddy old box! six   Billy_porter Username: Billy_porter Registered: 03-2005 Posted on Friday, April 15, 2005 - 2:03 pm:    Aye – the Scots know how to save money ( a bit of Scot in me I’m afraid laddie). When he refers to ‘rare classic’ he’s referring to the cardboard box as it look like the original one. I’ll offer him £2 for the box providing he pays the postage. The bridge pickup looks like one of the 70s pickups that look like open coils but actually have a cover. I’d have thought the price was quite reasonable.   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Friday, April 15, 2005 - 6:30 pm:    I know the open coil cover you mean Billy but this one just looks like a removed cover to me. I've seen two of these over here (both Colin's) and both had regular gold covers. six   Billy_porter Username: Billy_porter Registered: 03-2005 Posted on Saturday, April 16, 2005 - 3:13 am:    Yo Sixvsix I'll bow to your superior knowledge   Paul_a Username: Paul_a Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Saturday, April 16, 2005 - 2:17 pm:    I've not looked at the guitar in question but my Antoria Custom Agent has the pickup that Billy refers to.   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Saturday, April 16, 2005 - 6:08 pm:    Well I'll go to the foot of my stairs..... six   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Sunday, April 17, 2005 - 10:41 am:    Six: Is this a British colloquialism? I'm curious, can you expound, please?   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Sunday, April 17, 2005 - 4:33 pm:    Hi John, It's more like those immortal words uttered by Bob Hope in 'The Road to Morocco'.... "Well I'll be a Monkey's Uncle." Love that movie. six   Padraic Username: Padraic Registered: 08-2004 Posted on Sunday, April 17, 2005 - 5:19 pm:    Have to jump in here to support Six (to rescue him from the foot of his stairs!). My Antoria CA has both gold covers intact just as he describes.Pickups have 5 digit inked numbers on underside, bit no 'Super 70' sticker. Otherwise guitar is as above (no serial #; flowerpot inlay). Sadly Billy, mine has no accompanying cardboard box, just a hard case Padraic   Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Monday, April 18, 2005 - 9:10 am:    Six: What's the negative connotation about stairs? You gotta start at the bottom sometime. Many years ago, a good Compuserve buddy from the UK explained to me the thought behind the phrase "sitting below the salt". It was a cool lesson in the history of salt.   Billy_porter Username: Billy_porter Registered: 03-2005 Posted on Monday, April 18, 2005 - 2:53 pm:    Re - I'll go to the foot of my stairs. Yes a strange British colloquialism but I think Sixvsix is using the posh version. I’ve heard it used mostly in Yorkshire where they say (phonetically) ‘Well al go t’foot of stairs’ when ever anything surprising happens (like England winning at football or Rugby). In Yorkshire they even say this when they live in bungalows.   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Monday, April 18, 2005 - 3:32 pm:    Another good one is ..."F*!k my old boots!" I tend to use that one a lot The posh version of that is: "Seduce my ancient footwear!" John mate, don't mention 'negatives'. You sound like my boss! Thanks for the life line Padraic six   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Saturday, April 30, 2005 - 6:02 pm:    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2384&item=7319339520&rd =1&ssPageName=WDVW Tasty! six   Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Saturday, December 30, 2006 - 6:42 pm:    I have already emailed the seller and put him right on a few things about this one in the UK. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=1802666&mpre=ht tp%3A//cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D190067514183 six   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 05-2006 Posted on Sunday, December 31, 2006 - 5:22 am:    Thank you Six! I bookmarked these: http://www.johnnyroadhouse.co.uk/auctions/guitars/antoria/antoria1 http://www.johnnyroadhouse.co.uk/auctions/guitars/antoria/antoria2 http://www.johnnyroadhouse.co.uk/auctions/guitars/antoria/antoria3 http://www.johnnyroadhouse.co.uk/auctions/guitars/antoria/antoria4 And saved them of course!

He has a nice one. six   Jchester Username: Jchester Registered: 05-2006 Posted on Monday, January 01, 2007 - 3:25 am:    "Well I'll go to the foot of my stairs...." I remember that line from Jethro Tull's "Passion Play". (a MAJOR fave of mine) I had no idea what Ian meant, "posh" or otherwise, until now... but it certainly worked well lyrically, given the intricate time signature. Thanks Six!}
