I have an '83 Custom Shop with Tim Shaw's, I've had 335/45's since I began playing in the 70's. It growls like most Gibsons, but airy is a good...
Could that be Lou's Monkey replica that he built for Tony in his hands? Looks like it to me. How cool, congrats to Lou! :applause::dude:...
Thanks everyone!
My first guitar was a Kay, but it was truly unplayable. I didn't need that kind of additional challenge as a learner, didn't start playing until...
I don't think it looks bad at all. Funny, we Gibsonites, we like what looks traditional, even if it doesn't work so well. I bought a Les Paul with...
I've been away from the forum for a couple of years, nice to return and find so many of the old faces and many new ones. I've posted to a couple...
Easy to see how compund would just sink into the grain of that cherry model, I'd check the grain of that guitar if the cat went missing. They at...
That Gold Top looks really good, SBH.
Need to sand to knock down the orange peel. Shiny orange peel is not what you want. 1500 is very fine, take it slowly, rinse your paper and wipe...
Just want to note once more that there is a big difference between the 'Faded' series guitars and the satin finishes. There is no or very little...
I have 2 61 RI's and they both have the same characteristic. Doesn't bother me while standing/playing, but if sitting and leaning back, my tuner...
The Standard comes with the 498 series pickups, and the '61 RI has '57's. Many, including myself, consider the 498's to be a bit muddy sounding,...
Hi, they made a lot of those, I'm afraid. I remember that when they were new, they were shown in a grouping with what Gibson called "Platinum...
Should be easy enough to varify the legitimacy of this guitar with Gibson. I have a "One of 50", 1997 Ebony SG Standard, signed by Tony...
Several months ago, Tony Iommi leaked the information that Gibson planned more than one new Iommi-inspired/signature models. Anyone know any facts...
My collection is 99% Gibson, but I have a couple of custom ordered Carvins for the very reason of wanting to choose my own woods, finish,...
I knew a fellow who was one of Gibson's "Elite 120", a group of 120 artists for whom Gibson would build truly custom guitars, allowing...
Mayfly, the next time you "topwrap" (wrapping the string under/over the stopbar), if you haven't done this already, the next time you...
It been my experience as well that tone/amp settings, etc, are totally irrelevant when playing unaccompanied, as opposed to sitting in a mix,...
You bought a nice tuner; they should feel very smooth. When you re-string, be sure the strings aren't binding in the nut. (the most common problem...
