Nice to see the full shot! I think my next guitar has to be an ES. Don't think I'll find one that nice though haha

That is a stunning guitar. I need a vintage Gibson acoustic in my life! My 55 Special feels just like that. I thought it was going to be a challenge to play being old with low vintage frets, but it's the easiest guitar I have to play on. I've had coincidences just like yours. I never know what...

Holy smokes! That case is also wicked cool.

It's not only Europe. Pretty sure they're doing them domestically too at some point. Just with Indian rosewood like they usually do. That's what someone at the Gibson Garage told me.

P90's were life changing for me. They can sound very aggressive or sweet. They have the beefiness of a humbucker but sound more musical to me. I like good PAF's a lot but I don't feel they have the same low end. The only downside obviously is the noise. Unless, you're playing super high gain, it...

Thanks Cody! I did have an interesting thought/idea about some of these aged guitars. I think the next big thing to do would be to age the fretboards as well. If they're somehow able to get that oiled in/glassy thing that happens when a guitar has been played for decades, that would be quite...

Here she is! I think black was definitely the way to go on this one. Here are my first thoughts right out the gate for anyone curious. - The aging is very very well done. It's probably the most realistic I've seen to date. The nitro has a really nice amber to it. The checking doesn't look...

I can tell how they sound just by looking at them! You have some wicked guitars.

Wow.. that is a beauty! What a top

This killed me haha.

:LOL: I think it would still sound killer through some island coconuts. Especially, the old vintage ones that have had time for the shells to settle.

I must see pictures of these guitars!!

I've somehow never managed to play an SG. But I love the sound of them. I was at Joe B's show last night and that was one of my favorite sounding guitars in the set. They kind of have a Flying V thing but not quite. And they definitely don't sound like Les Paul's either. I was watching a video...

I would love an arch top myself. Still on the bucket list. And for the purposes of this discussion, I'm pretending electricity and an amp are easily accessible haha. (And thanks!)

I'm curious what everyone's #1 in their collection is! What's the guitar you're bringing to a desert island where monetary value isn't a factor? There's not a guitar I'd trade on the planet for the 55' Special I picked up some time back. Even though it has a number of changes and a headstock...
