The Gibson Custom Shop designed it to be Epiphones latest version of a 59. One piece neck and long neck tenon. The one upgrade that wouldn't be "correct"  is real mother-of-pearl inlays on the board. 

It feels, plays, and sounds better than the 2019 Gibson Les Paul Standard I had.

My daughter got her bumblebee telecaster today.  She was stoked, and so was I.

I don't think I'll be selling this one. She's the best LP I've owned. Plus, the color reminds me of Page's #1. Just looking for a dragon suit, now.

And only weighs 8 pounds 2 ounces.

So what says the Surl on 12 strings?  Acoustic or electric?

 

 

I’m anti electric 12 string. I can’t hear much difference. Whereas I love an acoustic 12. Really fun to play live, too.

I can only imagine what they want for that one. My regular Strummer Tele from last year is still the best playing and sounding Tele I've laid my hands on. The pickups are well-voiced, the guitar is lively, and the neck is fantastic. That one was $1700. 

(Shit...$20k)

Where have these Gibson Custombuckers been all my life? Exactly the tone I want from a Les Paul. 


Do you have any experience with the SD Seth Lovers?  I’m curious how they compare. Haven’t had an opportunity to play around with the Custombuckers yet.

The Custombuckers are a bit less output than the Burstbuckers. I have no experience with the Seth Lovers. These thing stay articulate when you crank them. Bridge pickup has a Tele thing going on.

Gibson's '59 Tribute pickups have been my why don't they make a ton of these pickups since I got my 2014 Traditional

For replacements, don't sleep on Mojotone's PAFs

I saw a video of a sommelier the breaking down wine cost, storage, and economics for small restaurants.  One comment that has stayed with me is "You can't sell a $10k bottle of wine if you don't have one on the menu"

I love the Clash, but relicing isn't my thing.  I'm also slavishly compelled by the concept of marginal return.

Yeah, I'm far from the world's biggest fan of The Cult, but I saw them at La Zona Rosa maybe 15 years ago, and they killed it.  Billy came out of the womb a rock star.

Listening to the Beatles Sirius channel today.  Peter Asher was talking about the Beatles connection to Country music, and particularly to Chet.  He played Chet covering a couple of songs, and discussed George's Chet fandom, and the fact that he played a Country Gentleman on Ed Sullivan. 

In the week after the Ed Sullivan show, Gretsch got 20,000 orders for that model.

Home alone this afternoon.  Drinking a cold one.  Pulled the Gibson out to play for a bit.  Geez, she's a beauty, and holy shit do I suck. 

Welcome to the club.

I know I did this recently but sharing one more post from my buddy’s shop. I need to go by there the next time I’m in Austin, it looks like they’re are doing a great job of stocking cool shit. Looking at the tele deluxe.

He used to post on the GretchPages.com forums sometimes back in the day. Billy Zoom would be on there a lot. Even Elliot Easton sometimes. That was a good board.

Just ordered this to have an electric to doodle on. Anyone familiar with them? Reviews were pretty good.

The fretboard radius is likely flatter than 12” and the fretboard edges will likely need to be rolled to smooth out the edge. Other than that, it should be fine.

this is fucking cool. Is 81 a shit year? Would love a vintage black beauty. This has late 70s original pickups and I love how beat up it is. Is this a deal?

I had an 85 custom. Now have a 96 custom. Loved both.

$5k seems pricey to me though, but based on not much research. Maybe check Reverb.

Is 81 a Norlin year?

I want it but I also want a Martin D41. I do not have a high end acoustic but I also don’t have any vintage yet. What do I do??)$?!?!?
