Gibson's latest abomination

[_tom_]

Apart from the headstock I don't really see the problem with this guitar? :?

[MisterMuncher]

It reminds me of nothing so much as the old Slash sig. Epiphone, which had a similarly gorgeous red flame top, sadly marred with some utterly bollocks transfer on the lower bout.

For a bit, I thought thon headstock logo was a metal plate held on under the Tuner ferrules, which at least could have been removed. No such luck. Gibson, why must you so these things to us?

[Sifu Ben]

It's a fairly simple graphic on the headstock. People are going seriously overboard here. It's not like it's the reverse V. It's a failry nice guitar, and if you don't like the headstock logo, put a sticker over it.

I was gonna bitch at pricing for a few sentences but £1,699 isn't that bad actually.

[Matt77]

it just could have been good.
"Why must they meddle?" is my point.  :?

[FELINEGUITARS]

I like the look of the guitar - except the logo on the headstock

We have just done a refinish on a Les Paul in a similar colour - came out great

[Matt77]

that's nice.

[AndyR]

Very nice. I like red guitars :D

[Ted 'N' Leo]

Very nice Feline, i've always fancied a cherry red Les Paul, like George Harrison's 'Lucy'.

[FELINEGUITARS]

Very nice Feline, i've always fancied a cherry red Les Paul, like George Harrison's 'Lucy'.

That was the picture he gave me to go by when he asked for the refinish
It looks a bit darker in real life - and the grain looks even better
We did the refinish to hide where a Bigsby had been too!

[Philly Q]

I do like LPs in non-sunburst translucent colours!  They're just unusual enough to really catch your eye and seem like something special.

[Matt77]

I like a lot of the discontinued Les Paul Class 5s for the same reason

wow. that's such a great job. it's really a shame i'm overseas. you brits (forgive me) really seem to kick ass in terms of good guitar making-fixing-repairs. i've already told MJW amps this on the forum. but damn. if i had a chance to go to ''britland'' i'd swing by your shop and get myself the les paul gibson can't build.

Ah, on closer inspection i can just barely see the one of the screw holes under the TOM on the left hand side, nice job!

[AndyR]

Are you sure? I looked real hard the other day, the minute I read about the bigsby, and then I realised I was looking at reflections of stuff.

I looked a bit longer after that and ended up deciding that I'm not convinced I can see any marks or screw holes in that photo.

:D
