Post by: Philly Q on April 27, 2009, 08:57:04 PM: I don't like it... but I can see the rarity appeal, I guess.

He's not going to sell it at that price, though, unless he's very lucky.

Just looking at the specs again - alder body, maple neck? Could this be a bolt-on??? :?

Post by: gwEm on April 27, 2009, 11:30:04 PM: gibson made some explorers and vs with alder/maple set neck construction in the 80s - I think 83 was the big year for that.

this is a special edition model i have seen before - it was in gibson catalogue and is an offical model. shame they didn't do a v one.

i would totally play this guitar, but i won't be buying it - because i don't have anywhere near the money, its priced way over the odds, and even if both these factors were sorted i'd be thinking of a V XPL.

would quite like a swamp ash or alder v.

You might want a Marshall that goes to 11 to go with that as well.

I think gwem could pull that off.

it is an ugly guitar - too many cheap guitar plastered with union jack graphics.

although i like the steinberger because that starts of as quite ugly and in your face anyway ;)
