Nah, mang. My comment wasn't directed at anything/anyone. Just being silly is all. I shoulda put a smileyface in there or something.

*spoiler alert***skip past this part if you don't want any details about the purchase*

It's a '54 goldtop replica. Wraparound bridge and P90s. Well, at least the picture has those things. We'll see when it gets here if it's anything resembling the photos. I saved a shitload of scratch and have been hunting for a real one for months now, but have been massively underwhelmed with what I've found. Well, except for the one I found in Austin. But that one was $33,000.

Let us know when it gets there!

No worries, it's good to have some perspective on my own bullshit sometimes.

P.S I think the thread is thoroughly de-railed, I wanna see some pics of this goldie when it arrives

Yeah, much P90 love here.

Do a full recap when able with pictures.

I find it interesting that the attitude here about them is different than most music gear forums. Usually threads elsewhere devolve into political threads. Guess HORNS doesn't hang out in the Jam Room...

What's the issues, Jake?

maybe the quality has taken a hit...

you've been successful twice, though? third time's a failure?

I'm shocked.

That Panhead is badass at least.

Black tape over the gibson logo makes that a perfectly playable guitar, IMO.

Is the fretwork bad?

Joel is a negative nancy. How many pieces is the body? 35?

I'm glad it's alright. I'm gonna buy one now, and overhaul it.

I don't get why anyone wants to own a "fake".
I don't get the whole Eastwood dealio.
I don't get the black electrical tape.

The Shocker · June 09, 2011, 07:31:27 AM

Well, it looks pretty good in those pictures. I'd buy one used just to play with - shipping winds up killing the deal on new ones for me when you can buy Jay Tursers, Arbors, etc here.

Jor el · June 09, 2011, 10:09:24 AM

I agree that Gibson's quality/pricing is gooned.

Quality/pricing does not compute with a fake gibson because the conversation stops at "fake".
There be my problem.

I take it back. Here we go!

apparently, tradetang seller "jaja" is the guy to get a good copy from....

Jor el · June 09, 2011, 12:38:22 PM

No, no, no. I'm not arguing morality. Of corpse I've downloaded music withoot paying.
I don't give a fuck that fakes are being made. I don't give a fuck that people want to buy fakes.
I just don't understand wanting one.

Same deal with Eastwood copies. I don't get it.
If I want a Ventures, I'm finna get a Mosrite.
