Someone buy my gear!

There's a really nice Orville les paul in Coda that i have to have!

Laney VH100R, Laney AOR Pro-Tube 30 watt combo, Tokai Explorer (Made in Japan with Painkiller set).

Come onnn. :lol:

Not a bad price either if you can knock them down a few quid....

[JDC]

I'll buy your engl.... for a penny

[Crazy_Joe]

I have an Engl? :?

[hunter]

It's not an Orville BY GIBSON, is it?

Could be photo flame.

[Crazy_Joe]

That would be lame, there's not much info on it just says it's from the mid 90's. I want to go try it and ask questions but there's no point if i don't have the money to buy it because it will most likely be gone by the time i sell something.

I thought the ObG's had stopped production by then, in favour of epipone Japan?

[Philly Q]

ObG were being produced up until 94/95, I think, and Orville were going until '98.

I have an Engl? :?

I thought you had a fireball or a screamer, I must be thinking of someone else

[mikeluke]

It looks like a photoflame Orville to me - would be around 95/96 - you see quite a few on Evil Bay

[hamfist]

I'd really like your Laney, but just haven't got the spare cash at the moment  :(

I'm sure I sound like a novice and am going to get shot down in flames but what is the difference between an Orville and an Orville by Gibson?

Not sure if that's necessarily 100% accurate, Japanese guitar history seems to be somewhat shrouded in mystery, but it gives the gist of the story.  Basically ObG is regarded as more desirable than Orville.

I'm not 100% sure but I think Orville by Gibson is MIJ but Orville is MIK but finished/set-up in Japan.

EDIT: I just read the Japan Guitars site and I'm sure it's a lot more accurate than I am, so ignore what I said :P

[Crazy_Joe]

This Orville seems highly overpriced if it's just an Orville and not an ObG.
