Time Guitars

Tracy, I can't tell you how much this is worth as the market is still deciding. But get out your wallet, this one has an interesting history and it's a GS-12 with special inlay by Alan Stack himself! [A nice variation of the Gibson Hearts & Flowers.] From the pictures. It's not in pristine condi...

JillD, If possible, can you give us some more history on this guitar? Where has it been? What changes were made and when? Previous owners? Anything is good. Thanks, Chris All, Here's a couple of more pictures of this Time guitar that BBKing played @Hunts one night. BBKing GS12 01.jpg The odd serial ...

Thanks for the pictures, JillD.
Here's a closeup of the headstock.
The distinctive inlay pattern and heartwood streak running through the ebony headstock veneer tell us everything.
This is the same guitar in the photo.

Mark,
Glad you're enjoying it!
BTW, The fingerboard is a really dark East Indian rosewood. Only the artist models had ebony/binding.

@Karla6, Thanks for the compliments. Glad you are enjoying the site. Be sure to check the facebook fan site also @ Time Guitar fan site on FB

Hi tstarin, Welcome to the forum! Got any pics? I don't remember doing any Explorers with Floyd Roses. Floyd Roses didn't exist until after the Explorers. We did Explorers in the early 80's and yours may have been added later. I can tell from pics. We had 'style' to our work and when you know the it...

You can find the serial number list here.
The June sale notes denote those guitars. I don't have your red PT-1 listed. The June sale was mostly older Times. TC, GS, & EX models.

Armycopter, This is one of the last Times officially out of the barn. The pickup is likely a Duncan Distortion. When the Floyds were available, we would use them. They were the hot item. That color was too. I remember building that guitar in a group of at least six. There was another group of Prime ...

That's one sweet Prime Time, Armycopter! I don't see any wear on the frets and the finish looks great. Not a 26 year old guitar at all. :wink: I'm guessing it was built in 1986 with a maple body and a dark Indian Rosewood board. That's the Magenta candy finish. I think it really represents the perio...

Hi All, Sorry for the recent outage. The site was moved to a new provider a few weeks ago. During this transfer the current database was lost. Recent backups of this database were corrupt. I have found an old database to restore. I have installed that database today. This database is dated 30Jan2010...

Well I'm thinking this forum is already a plain old SQL database running on with a php front-end. I looked quickly through the available mods yesterday at phpBB . [That's what this forum runs on.] and found nothing for adding a registry function. I don't see how posting to and viewing a serial numbe...

That's a great idea.
Do you know of any good php open source 'registry' apps? Anyone? Got Time?
Or is anyone interested in starting/working on a Time Guitar WIKI entry?

Chris
P.S. I use that site all the time. Otherwise, I would lose track of all my Ferrari!

I posted this list on the FaceBook Time Guitar Fan Club , but it should be on this forum as well. Here is a sales list found in my basement. This was marked as a 'June' Sale. I figure this was an inventory from 1986. I have added what we already know for serial numbers as of Sept 2009. Chris Here's ...

I don't think anyone's pissed off. There isn't a 'ton' of Prime Times out there. This site has only documented a few so far. If memory serves me right, I don't think there is more than a couple dozen Prime Times total. Be careful thou, Floyd Rose tremolos seem to be a gateway to cocaine addiction. T...

Welcome to the forum! Yes these guitars are rare, but they do show up on eBay & Craigslist and in local stores. You just have to keep searching and have cash ready to go! Here's a great, recent PT-1 from Craigslist. DaisyBat's PT-1 from CraigsList I would like to see his. I believe it might have...
