Twisted sister Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Has anyone played the new Ron Wood model? I see they have them on sweetwater now for 7699 but found one on Reverb.com for less. Just wonder how they play and sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zentar Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 http://www2.gibson.com/products/electric-guitars/2015/custom/ron-wood-l-5s.aspx Nice looking. Only 3 buttons and switches which I like. Simplicity. Black nitro cellulose. I've always been partial to the black Les Pauls. All maple Burst Bucker PU's. Gold hardware Treble/rythem switch relocated next to the volume knobs. No pick guard Archtop front and back. Square not trapezoid inlays. $5400 msrp should able to find them at $4500 shouldn't you? Yet they sell for way above that. Odd though: his name isn't on the guitar. One of my favorite guitars I've seen him play had Woody Woodpecker neck inlays. Wonder why they didn't do tht with this guitar?

Twisted sister Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Is 6899 a good deal for the signed and played version? http://www2.gibson.com/products/electric-guitars/2015/custom/ron-wood-l-5s.aspx Nice looking.

Twisted sister Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 6.5k for an axe signed my Woody. He is a great player, but I would not pay that much for his sig and that guitar. I think I can get this guy to a little lower. If so, I'm buying. Cheapest I've found was 7599 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zentar Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 That's outta my income bracket so I cant say if that is a good or bad price. I'm still trying to decide if I like the gold hardware. Usually I'm not partial to gold teeth either plus I can't remember if I've seen Woods with a gold hardware Les Paul. Usually he has silver but he plays a lot of different guitars. More than most people. Keith Richards is commonly seen on his Tele but Woods never struck me as partial to any one guitar although he does play LPs a lot. He plays a lot of Fenders too. Seems like you never see him play the same guitar twice. Sometimes he plays guitars he borrowed on the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveg Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I THINK that this guitar is patterned/based on an L5s that Keith Richards was once seen with. Black - single PU etc. Paul Simon was also seen with one. DG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaicho8888 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 $2k more for Wood's signature? Nay... unless it gives better tone. I like the body's thin profile and the longer F scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zentar Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Look at the guitar Richards and Simon have. Richrd's L5 has two control knobs but the three-way switch is up high in font like all LPs. Somon's guitar has 4 control knobs but the three-way switch is down low in the back. Both have aspects of the Ron Wood LP which has two knobs AND the three-way switch down low in the back. It has the features of the Richards and Simon guitar all in one guitar. But is that worth $7000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I am instinctively against many of these 'signed by' custom creations... But for many people they can provide 'mojo' like no other And as an investment can add a unique factor Ron plays many and varied electric and acoustic guitars so keeps players interested in them And helps sell much product V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zentar Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 The Ron Wood signature Les Paul is a beautiful guitar but I've never seen him play a guitar like that. Other than the first 50 signed copies what does Woods have to do with that guitar? If I designed a Ron Wood guitar I would design a Zemaitis like his "Stay With Me" guitar that got stolen. Although Wood's website says it's still in his hands. http://ronniewood.com/News/RonniesNextGuitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted sister Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 The 5400 price is for the unsigned model. This seller had the signed guitar down to 6599 and then raised the price back up again before I could grab it. I am assuming that most of the 50 signed models have been sold hence the price increase? Well I almost bought one at a good price. http://www2.gibson.com/products/electric-guitars/2015/custom/ron-wood-l-5s.aspx Nice looking. Only 3 buttons and switches which I like. Simplicity.

4Hayden Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Paul Simon played on One Trick Pony. I like them but not $7000 dollars like them. $7000 dollars is a little to much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
