Gibson Les Paul 69s Tribute Studio Honeyburst guitar. WOW

I had to sell this one for some budget money, but it sure was wonderful to own it!

Killer sound, excellent finish, and even some bird's eye in the maple top.

Some first-shot pics of my blue Gibson Explorer Melody Maker

These pics aren't the quality that are going into my written reviews, but I thought I'd post the rough-idea shots so you could some some of the finer points of the guitar... The ones from the online stuff don't quite give this much angle...

Two Little Gibson 57 Gold Humbucker Neck Pickup Pics

Thought these were neat enough to share...

WOW! The new Gibson 491T Bridge Pickup! Like a smoother Explorer 500T...

A review on http://theguitarreview.com is coming on this pickup! Stay tuned!!!!!!!

A new pickup variety from Gibson! A ceramic bridge humbucker that's meant to crunch nicely, but not quite the out-and-out rawk of an Explorer 500T. It does a great job. You can play almost smoothly if you finger pick lightly, but the pickup is SUPER-responsive when you dig in to the strings. You can't quite get a clean tone out of these (like the 498T and 500T), but you sure can rock!

Gibson '57 Classic in Shiny GOLD! Neck Humbucker Pickup from my Reverse Flying V

This is the creamiest thing since the originals. Wow. Just love these. I have a few different vintages, so the newer ones are on their way to eBay... This particular neck pickup is the smoothest thing I've played in a LONG time!

Some White-Button Gibson Deluxe (Kluson-like) Tuners

Note: for legal purposes, these are GIBSONS, done in the Kluson style. These are not made by Kluson. I had them in a Grover box (talk about brand confusion!) for safekeeping until they eBayed... Nice tuners, really!

Pictures of the Epiphone Dot Deluxe Custom Shop Flamed Maple with Gold

Sometimes a guitar comes along that is just beautiful. Oh, and it sounds great (Epiphone versions of the great Gibson '57 pickups) and plays very well!



The Ibanez Art400HAM is a beatimus thing for sure, but this Epiphone Dot Deluxe (Custom Shop, flamed maple back and front, gorgeous binding and treatments) is tough to beat.



Pictures, anyone? (These don't come with the Gator vintage style case, but boy do they go together well!)
