IS GIBSON IN TROUBLE?
So lately this has been quite a discussed subject. Are Gibson not doing well? A lot of people seem to be talking about certain financial difficulties on Gibson’s end. Is this the case? Today we´re having a look at the situation and some key aspects that may have something to do with it.
Mickey “Guitar” Baker gave his 1959 Fender Stratocaster to Ivan Horn on one condition. To pass it on to another guitar player when his time came. Sadly, Ivan Horn, passed away earlier this year since cancer had taken over. Shortly before his death he called Rune Funch and met him in a cafe and told Rune that he was the one to now own the Stratocaster…on the same condition.
We heard this story through friends of V&R and thought this was such a beautiful and an inspirational story that we got in contact with Rune and asked if he would tell us the full story on camera. Rune agreed, which we are very thankful for, and below you can see and hear Rune lay it out in his own words. We full this story is important to tell and it´s something we could all learn a great lesson from.
Documented in dedication, deep respect and memory of Ivan Horn and Mickey “Guitar” Baker.
Vintage & Rare loves guitars and we love guitar pedals too, in fact we love everything about the tools of the past and present musician and we love all the creative souls who either used or are now using a superbly crafted custom made guitar or the ingenious design of an electronic circuit.
CITES TRADE REGULATIONS OVER ROSEWOOD
A lot of people have been asking us about the CITES regulations on Rosewood and certain types of Bubinga, as well as what this means for them, so we decided to write a bit about the subject.
SO… WHAT IS CITES?
CITES stands for Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, which is essentially a treaty to protect endangered species (plants and animals).
On Yeahman´s Guitar Fest in Burgdorf / Switzerland Sep 17th 2017 we came a fantastic vintage 1962 Fender Stratocaster in the highly collectible and sought after custom colour, Fiesta Red.

Yeahman´s Guitar Fest is a guitar show located in beautiful Burgdorf in Switzerland, not far from Zürich. We had an invitation to come and visit the show by founder Michael Marti and his brother. So we jumped on a plane and a train and arrived for the show to be there for the opening, sunday sep 17th. This is not a review of the show, but we must say we had a super great time and was welcomed by a very friendly and passionate team of people from the swiss music community running the show. Below you can see some of the pics we shot on the show. We recommend you go visit in 2018.
Awesome food and great service from the guys at the The Lunch Box food truck. (www.lunchbox.ch)
