Tim Plains Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I've read two things about Bob Marley's actual Les Paul: 1. It's on display at a museum in Kingston, Jamaica. This link. 2. He was buried with it. Wikipedia. Any idea as to which is true? Surely, they didn't go into his grave and take the guitar? On a side note, I would love...no LOVE...one of those Marley reissues. The only guitar I would buy for collective purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Yeah, the reissues are way cool. I'd also like to get my hands on the Lennon reissue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 I wonder what they'd sell for? Both reissues. Uh-oh.........................yup, it's G.A.S. I thought I was through with buying Les Pauls...guess not. The search begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverbursted Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Wasn't there some hideous Bob Marley special discussed here a while back? Edit: Found it...still as ugly as it was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 The epiphone is horrid with a picture of Bob screenprinted on the body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepblue Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I love Bob...I dare anyone to put on "Exodus" and not be compelled to jump up! That Epi model is a piece of work huh?...The pic looks more like Ziggy Marley then Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnstrom Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Im pretty sure he was buried with it. He had another one that is on display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleSixx Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Wasn't there some hideous Bob Marley special discussed here a while back? I remember a few months back ThunderGod posted pics of a Bob Marley Epi with a broken headstock. Hey ThunderGod did they every fix or sell that thing ?

Cooperoni Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I find funny that this thread was about the GIBSON Bob Marley model and all you guys do is bring up the Epi version. Yes it is a lame piece but get over it already. Anyhow, Tim the shop in San Francisco where I buy all my Gibbys had one for a while and it even had a special wall hanger/display thingy. I will drop by there next week and see if it is still there, but I think it has been sold. I haven't noticed it in a while, but wasn't looking for it if you know what I mean. It looked like a cool axe, but was out of my price range and wasn't looking for a guitar w/P90s at the time. If its there I'll let you know VIA PM if only to satisfy yer curiosity.

flyingarmadillo Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I've given some thought to simply picking up another VM and modding it into a Marley. P-90's and a little bit of aluminum sheet metal work is all that you need. I'm not sure exeactly what to do about the headstock though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I love Bob...I dare anyone to put on "Exodus" and not be compelled to jump up! Sorry, doesn't move me... :-) I've been on 4 cruises, the music was maddening! I'm sure I'm the only one. Every other old, fat, drunk white person on the ship was loving it. I have pics. Me? I was just drunk & white. Okay, late thirties. And I coulda lost a little weight before putting on the swimsuit. BUT I WASN'T DANCING LIKE AN OLD, FAT, DRUNK WHITE PERSON to "island music"!!!! The Reggae band on two of the cruises didn't know any Led Zep or AC/DC - I asked.... :-) Later somebody told me they were playing AC/DC in one of the disco's, You Shook Me All Night Long. Yeah, an AC/DC dance song, but the ladies love it. Wanna impress me? Play You Shook Me by Led Zep...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
