RhoadsScholar Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Was able to work something out to acquire this amazing 1999 Blue Super Eagle. Had one that I got from the HOC (a natural one) that I let get away. I know this one has changed hands and traveled coast to coast, but I have always admired it from afar. It sounds/plays as amazing as it looks....
Gitfiddler Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Ah yes, the mighty Blueburst Super Eagle lands in another HOC'ers back yard. Congratulations on this fine archtop. I too have admired this one from afar. Play it in good health.
Vanschoyck Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 The photos don't reveal any play wear at all, and there's no strap button, almost like it's barely been used. It's beautiful and I hope you enjoy it!
Blunote Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Perfect size guitar for you too!Congratulations on the acquisition.
schundog Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Way to go, Bob! That thing is gorgeous. Enjoy it in good health.
Kuz Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Very classy blue and I like it much better than the iconic opaque Kenny Burrell Blue!!!
Gitfiddler Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Now that you've got the blue guitar, the perfect book for you is..."Blue Guitar", the Scott Chinery blue archtop master build project by Ken Vose. "Shortly before his death in 1995, Jimmy D'Aquisto - then, as now, considered the greatest guitarmaker of all time -- built a lightning blue archtop guitar, the D'Aquisto Centura Deluxe, hailed as a masterpiece for its profound simplicity, sensuous lines, and mythical blue color. That guitar inspired its owner, collector Scott Chinery, to challenge 22 of the world's finest luthiers to create their own interpretation of the Blue Guitar. The result is perhaps the greatest collection of archtop guitars ever made. Blue Guitar captures the unique beauty of this unparalleled collection with gorgeous photographs, a cutting-edge design and layout that echoes the lean sensousness of the guitars, and interviews with the guitarmakers, many of whom have dedicated their lives to finding the place where art, craft, and music converge." http://www.amazon.com/Blue-Guitar-Reference-Ken-Vose/dp/0811819124

RhoadsScholar Posted April 26, 2015 Author Posted April 26, 2015 As much as I loved this guitar, I had some unexpected events occur and Mark (MartyGrass) worked with me to acquire a different instrument (I added a new post), at least I can say I once owned that Blue Super Eagle. Thanks Mark, I owe you one (actually, more than one, but who is counting )
