Gibson Pearly Gates LPs - any VOS ones left anywhere?

[Ian Price]

Everyone seems to be going all Texas.....

 :D If I was ever to go to America (and I probably won't) Texas is the only destination I would go for.

Time is ticking by.  Looks like Monday will be collection day.  Might have to check out what else they've got in stock when I'm there  ;)

Yeah, in for a penny, in for a pound! 

[Twinfan]

Christ, I can't afford to actually BUY anything else!!!  :o  :lol:

I want to check out the VOS SGs, and Martin wants to check out the Byrdlands to see if he could be the next Ted Nugent  ;)

Which shop is it, by the way?  I lost track somewhere in the thread.

make sure he brings his loincloth! :)

[Ian Price]

All this talk about LPs is making me want an LP (again). Maybe I should be a decent budget one and see how I get on - I couldn't justify spending thousands on a HB'd guitar!

[Twinfan]

It's a Coda, Philly  :)

[Philly Q]

It's a Coda, Philly  :)

Luton or Stevenage?   Neither's the most scenic location for a day out, but at least it's in the old part of Stevenage (if I remember right).   :)

[Twinfan]

Yep, it's Stevenage.  Funnily enough, I bought my Les Paul Standard from there about 13 years ago!

Ian - have a lovely Orville Les Paul for sale and only just down the road too.....



:-)

I can get my kids to relic it for you if you prefer the 'worn' look....

Twinfan, VOS SGs are great, probably a bit overpriced when compared to a VOS LP, but really good to play, and weigh next to nothing.

Here's my pair of VOS's.

What do you get for your extra £2K v one of these?

That's very nice. Sadly I don't think I'd have enough cash to afford it thoguh!

The Pearly Gates replicas are a 2009 R9 with:

* Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Pearly Gates pickups
* An exact copy of the original guitar's neck profile
* Limited edition serial number and case
* Tops specifically selected by Billy Gibbons (not sure how closely though, but most do look like Pearly)
* Weights closely monitored (they seem to be between 8.5 and 9.5lbs)
* Burst colour and spray shape closely matches the original

Not a lot I guess - you either "get it" and want a Pearly, or you don't  :)
