No… Got the financial go ahead from Mrs Dogga, was going to head down late last week for a play/test drive. For some reason I just chickened out. Told her Id feel too guilty spending that sorta dough.
She re - talked me into it over the weekend. Checked the listing tonight and its gone.
Theres a black 75 there at the moment for a good price. But its had some work done. The necks been re-radiused. Bit of a shame. Guess that’s why its cheap. Theres like an 80 or 82 custom in green silverburst that’s the stuff of dreams, but outta my price range.
Have you had a look through guitar colonel’s listing’s lately?
What budget are you looking at?
With the dollar well above the yen at the moment, theres huge bargains in Japan.
Have a look at ishibashis sale items . There are some ridiculous bargains there. Also the quality of the gibsons sent to Japan is much higher than here. Yamano the importer demanded the highest quality or they wouldn’t take it. They have specific weight ranges all light
Here mate look through here. The link below is their used gibsons on sale. Be aware you will pay 350 or so shipping then 15% import fee which is gst etc so factor into your price.
I buy from here regularly. The guitars are always as described and usually a lot better than described
Fretboard is maple just painted white. Basically its a cross between prince’s white cloud and johnny greenwood’s from radiohead 92 telecaster plus . Including my vintage fenders and gibsons its one the most amazing guitars I own tonally
