Don't forget that you can spread the cost over a period of time if need be, so that way you end up with a mega guitar without cancelling Xmas.....

If only that period of time was long enough until all of my kids are in school.......

 :D
I think I hate being indecisive.

Ha!!

I was reading this thread and thinking number 7 was my favourite by far, and now Phil's got in ;)

Good work mate.

But the biggest difference is that it will have a wraparound bridge/tailpiece.  I saw that some of them didn't have the bridge mounting holes drilled, and a quick IM to Jon confirmed that a wraparound was OK.   People who know me are aware how much I like wrap around bridges and getting this was just the nudge I needed to put the deposit on No 7.

I thoroughly approve of that decision!  :D

But will it still "count" as one of the 20th Anniversary models now?

I felt the bridge choice was close enough to still make the grade as little else was changed.
However i still want one for myself.............

I still have a pile of classic BKPs that i want to fit  stormy monday,mule, pg blues, cold sweat..... Hope these get chosen by buyers so i can enjoy doing the back to back comparisons between all the variants.

Thought I might as well register on this forum since I've had some BKPs from Jon before and will be having them in this #10 20/12 too. Not sure which ones yet, but my interest was raised by a reissue Gibson that had a Humbucker at the bridge and P90 at the neck. Could be interesting.

I've always had P90s in mind for this guitar, so not sure if I'll go with them in both positions or not yet.

Looking forward to this beauty being constructed, with a few personal touches that won't deviate from the ethos of the range  :D

That's a good first post!

Well done on #10!

Very jealous.

Welcome to the bkp forum Dave,  and congrats on getting the bit of wood we've been tempting you with.

I'm more than happy to say that you're the only man who can tempt me with wood

Yeah, that piece has been on the radar for a good while now so seemed wrong for it not to be both a 20/12 and mine :)

Hey thanks, (taking credit for ownership rather than craftsmanship on this one)!!

It really is a lovely thing. Korina body, 1 piece quilt veneer to give the visuals without removing the Korina tone, maple 25.5 bolt on neck, ebony board and the P-Rails. These pickups really are great and give such variety of tone. The body is sculpted behind and has a forearm contour too.

Jon and I spent a long time speccing this one out, and a few changes are going to be made now I've used it for a while - moving the pickup selector as it gets in the way when tapping, removing the acoustic module but keeping the MIDI, (the acoustic will go in another model), and in place of the pickup selector, there will be a Buckethead arcade kill switch. :-)

I simply love this guitar, so the 20/12 is very exciting.

9 and 11 could potentially be killer - depends on the colour.



Just shows what you can make out of completely innocent comments! :lol:

Anyway, I really like the look of those as well.

whoops  :oops:

I've been threatening a trip to Feline for ages - will have to do this sooner rather than later and treat my long-suffering Les Paul to a refret.
