CE22 with birds?

[Chip Holt]

Hello!

I have a CE22 bolt on that was made in May of '95. I bought it from Chuck Levin's Music in the summer of '95, and it has bird inlays. When I research the CE22, it does not list birds as an option. Can anyone let me know if they might have put a custom neck on my guitar - or if birds were, in fact, an option for the CE22?

I think they were at that time.
SUPER rare.
Pics, please!

Nice! Hopefully this will work - I just created my forum account, so I don't know if images count as links. . . Here goes.

Okay - maybe after this post, the pictures will show?

Alright - let's see if the pictures show up this time.

I uploaded a cropped photo as my avatar since I apparently can't post an actual picture yet.

If you side click and "Copy image address" usually that works vs a link. Took me forever to figure that out lol.

Edit: So I had to open your link. Then open the photo in a new window...after doing that i was able to get the "Copy image address"

It looks like because I am a new member and have to make three posts before I can share a "link," it won't display the images. I guess replies to my own thread don't count as actual posts?

There were a couple of times when birds could be added as an option. I used to have a CE-24 with birds that was a 1995 or 1996 model.

That is hot

It was an option then, but there were never many in the wild.

Sweet guitar!

Wassup with those strap locks, though? It looks like they're not actually on the strap, but clipped onto the posts after the strap was put on? (Actually, that might work just as well as the intended installation method. This way you can use any standard strap too, without enlarging the holes. Never seen this done before, though--you might have discovered something.)

Those are Schaller strap locks on that much loved beautiful guitar!

Awesome!
I still miss the old MOP birds.
