Nice, hope you have a lot of fun playing it.

Does anyone know if the new gibson hard case is up to protecting the guitar in an airplane hold?
I assumed it would be but my ne has a dent in it which i think i did bringing it here me in the car so not so sure now.

Yes, curlyks2, I accept part of the blame, as about a month ago I posted a photo of the Les Paul I had just bought.
It doesn't help that it now has a bigger brother ...

That's scrummy. I had a tobacco burst Standard in the 90's with that case. Shame they've toned them down now.

Hey, a few dents give them a bit of character. wink

Hmm my les paul will be staying immaculate for as long as i can keep it that way. I do however have the issue that it is currently in the wrong country and the right one is two plane journeys away.

Here is the latest to join the fold. A Gibson SG 50s tribute. Ironic as they didn't get released until 1961.

A total impulse purchase - a well known northern guitar shop were knocking them out at an amazing price and I couldn't resist. My first Gibson, and I like it. The single coil P90 pups scream, the neck and action very playable indeed. And to top it all off, matt black in colour.

Haha, cracking deal eh?

Helpful...

Carry it on as hand luggage? Or if you're not actually going there, find someone that'll being it back for you?
Thanks for that, i just assumed it would be too big for carry on but will ask the question.

as long as its not a budget airline then shouldn't be an issue, usually gets checked at the gate and stored in one of the business class closets

What with all this Gibson SG love I thought I'd finally upload some photos of mine.




It's a 2015 SG Special in Fireburst. Usual 2015 bits (love them or hate them) so nitro finish, zero fret, zebra humbuckers, GForce tuning, 100th anniversary gold hard case etc. Paid £399 in an Amazon Black Friday dea and haven't been able to put it down since.

I picked up the Vox VT20X as a practice amp at the same time having auditioned load of modelling amps in the <£200 bracket and it was by far the least digital sounding of the lot. The Brit 800 model does a particularly good job for ACDC. smile

Nice one. Is that the chocolate 70s? You know what, I went back to the webstore soon after receiving the ebony 50s to snap up a 70s tribute but they had all sold out. So I nearly pressed the button on a Chocolate 50s but talked myself out of it. Two of the same would have been a bit much

No it's the 70's vintage sunburst.

It's fantastic actually, much better than I was expecting!

GAH! Damn this thread!!!! I was curious as to the identity of the 'Northern Guitar shop' for the Gibsons. Thought it was Andertons.

Though they didn't have any specials on Gibsons, I seemed to have ordered one of these for the collection - price was too good to ignore!



Time for some fretboard tapping smile

Finally ordered one!



Status Kingbass Paramatrix, 32" scale with bendwell and 16.5mm string spacing. I'm having it in Masur birch with aqua blue sunburst tint and white LEDs, so it will have the same finish as this Series 3, but with the blue tint on the back as well, and with gold hardware.
