Post by: Philly Q on March 30, 2010, 11:43:59 AM: Is that definitely the real thing (and not a very good copy)?

In most pictures I've seen the colour looks a lot more uneven, and I don't tremember there being that many little spots and dents all over it.

Post by: AndyR on March 30, 2010, 12:01:24 PM: I have to admit that looking at the first pic, I thought you'd found another "signature" that whetted your appetite and set the juices flowing (hence my possibly confusing posts :lol:)...

Phew, that's good, I knew it looked wrong somehow! :)

Comparing with the second pic, the bare patch by the bridge pickup and the wear on the tailpiece look like they've been scr@ped away rather than just worn naturally. Good job though.

Post by: Twinfan on March 30, 2010, 12:28:46 PM: Yep, with some more natural wear it'll look spot on!

Post by: dave_mc on March 30, 2010, 03:23:32 PM: is that yours, dave, or just a pic? (serious question)
Title: Re: Great pic of the Peter Green/Gary Moore 'burst
Post by: ToneMonkey on March 30, 2010, 04:06:10 PM: Ha ha, I was looking at it thinking that they didn't look like the stairs of someone who would own the original.
Title: Re: Great pic of the Peter Green/Gary Moore 'burst
Post by: Stevepage on March 30, 2010, 04:08:04 PM: I thought the first picture was real. But now comparing it to the real thing you can really tell the difference, but it is close.

Post by: dave_mc on March 30, 2010, 10:14:09 PM: nah, i was going to say that that sofa's not in danger of having a replica made of it, and then thought I'd better not in case it was yours... :lol: for once I wasn't actually making fun of your GAS... :)

The American Express Card " Bargins of the week" ( Homes and leisure ) forum ? .

It's a very impressive replica indeed - and a lovely bit of history being celebrated there . :)

It's a Gibson 59 reissue in Lemonburst that was aged by a company called Historic Makeovers.
