The biggest problem with holey Gibsons is that they don't burn as long as the regular ones.

arefully carved vented openings in both the neck and headstock are a testament to Gibson's creative genius

i don't think...
on gibson's website the info page of a limited run Les Paul i actually own stated that it sported push pull pots too... of course it doesn't - when i mailed their tech support that there was a mistake either in their site or in my guitar's wirings they answered that YES, my guitar HAD push pull potentiometers indeed... with normal 2 conductor pickups i wonder what they were supposed to do anyway... :)

Your thread title is incorrect. There is no wrong GAS!

I suppose there is if the "wrong" refers to the G but not the AS... :)

I think gwEm already has one of those:



Oh no - this is payback isn't it Philly
You know that I've asked Gwem for first refusal on that baby if he ever sells

It' s v nice - 25.5" scale as well (its what Rudy Schenker uses on de-tuned Scorpions songs live - his is painted black and white)

 :lol: Haha, wasn't meant to be be!  Didn't know you were after it.

I'm not sure if that's gwEm's actual guitar or just a similar one - I found it in Google images.

it looks just like that yes, except mine has a BKP Holy Diver and the special gwEm volume bypass switch.

jonathan keeps dropping hints i should sell it to him when ever i see him ;) its a very well thought out, nicely made and good sounding instrument.

i didn't buy the Holy V... i would like to though, the video clip i posted of it isn't the best sounding but its far from terrible - hard to judge with the guys gear and so on.

i'm still going to listen to you guys and not buy it blind. if i come across one in a shop i'd certainly put it to the test though - if it sounded ok and i could afford it it would be mine ;)

in the market for another V at the moment to load with the marvellous new BKP T-Tops
