Mine was in 1964 it was an Ibanez with a whammy bar, my amp was a Golden Tone made in Ausralia. My best amp was an Abbey combo with 12 inch speakers on either side.With a foot control tremelo looked like a Vox AC 30.[valve].I traded it in for an Alron 150 watt combo.
Best guitar was a Mexican Strat with 2 single coils and a humbucker.
Got parts from our local importers 5 pole rotary 3 X 3pos toggles.
Had about 30 different combined sounds in and out of phase etc.
I removed the centre spring of the arm and this lowered the action.
Worst guitar was a Danelectro.
Cant play so good now as had operation on my wrist.
