AFAIK, GIBSON is a privately held/owned company. That usually means there is no stock to buy and no ticker symbol for the stock exchanges because it is not on any ? BUT IDK, maybe there is ? I'm not a stock broker or economist but I just looked at Bloomberg's Investment web-site and there is no...
Yeah, I agree with your assessment...the '57 Classics are the $#!ZZLE on an SG, they just are....the 2017 SG Standard I got looks exactly like your SG on the right except for the yellow toggle tip and yours has the 22th fret Nck Joint but other than that its identical...Just for laughs and...
WOWO, is that yours?The grain pattern in the upper left of the picture, HOT DAM SAM ! Gotta get me another SG, next one with a discernible grain pattern in the finish....when SG's have the grain pattern visible..... it just adds that, IDK..."THAT IS THE $#!T, RIGHT THERE !" and that SG Standard...
No **** ?.....Then,Sadowsky in Long Island City, NYC can take Atlantics place on my list.BUT i'm sure you get the idea....CA$# is KING, and will get a player what they want.
If you have enough $$$ GIBSON USA will build you the Guitar you wan,t to the specs you want...Made To Measure program GIBSON USA calls it, IIRC??? Big 'IF'....BUT....I'd bet that if you have enough $$$ they will try to make if fart.
There are lots of CUSTOM Guitar builders thatr will CUSTOM...
BTW BRO,I wish GIBSON USA would send me ONE perfect guitar in my lifre-time.coz WOWO it aint happned yet.........You got one anfII can only wish..... having a binding on the neck of a fret-board with DOTS is almost a rarity..even without playing it...i LIKES IT....! GIBSON STOPPED DOIN THAT ON...
The 'Wrap-Around' Stop-Bar/Bridge should have adjustment screws on the back of it at the posts...I just bought the 2022 GIBSON USA Les Paul Special and it has the '50's style 'wap-around' combination Stop-Bar/Bridge and it is mounted on the guitar at a slight angle. The actual piece has two...
IDK if I've ever seen 'Spilt-Posts' TM's as you posted above, that weren't G-Farce. Who makes them ? From the looks of the ones you posted they remind me of the 'G-Farce' TM's.........are they MIN-E-Tune or 'G-Farce' TM's ? IDK if Epiphone went that route...Those look like the strings are put on...
@ Sklet, TNX 4 that link......WOWO, I just looked at the Balaguer website and it looks like they can make one of their CUSTOM made-to-order guitars for $1550 ? Its starting to look like a CUSTOM build is becoming somewhat affordable.....if I understood correctly what I saw and it is actually the...
GIBSON is a notoriously CHEEEP private company, ask any former employee (I HAVE !)......BUT to be fair, GIBSON is just like any other company, the only reason they do anything is based on $$$$/cost.
Sharp SG, I agree that 1st ding/scratch/chip/whatever is always bordering on TRAUMATIC......it is the exact reason I will not spend over $4K on a guitar, and usually not over $2K..I ain't a Rich Guy....and.....I know what I am eventually going to do to it........and....... that it is only a...
IDK if I am understanding you correctly BUT IF I am , maybe put a new NUT on it and create the slots yourself ? that should be a way to even the spacing out, no ? IF I correctly understood what you mentioned I think that would solve the issue, I THINK !.
WOW, those guitars in the background...geez zeus ! Back then they were just GREAT Guitars...but now? IF ANY SURVIVED....WOWO, They'd be worth a frikkin fortune ! I can see why the 'MOB' wanted them, if they even knew what they were getting ! Probably went straight to a pawn shop and came back...
WOW Skel, that is the best idea I hav seen so far.....back in the day I had a seriously sharp SG Standard that neck dive was severe enough to aggro the $#!T out of me.it was really bad, not the worst I'd ever seen but up there.......my solution was a plastic bag inside the control cavity w/5...
BTW, where do you get your plastics ? Allparts is usually good but lately out-of-stock as is PLT...I've been looking for a standard EXPLORER PICK-GUARD and been comin up CRAPS for my efforts...... a Silver Metallic standard PG for 2018 EXPLORER 'ELITE' should be EZ to attain...BUT NO, Dang...
Looking good C.F....LOOKIN GOOD !!! Yeah, don't **** it up...I'm pretty good at that ! If it has strings (OR WHEELS)...I CAN **** IT UP/RUIN IT !!!
Imma sure you will be FINE, just remember: MEASURE TWICE...DRILL/CUT ONCE !!!!
