jdogric12 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 So I snagged this end of last week. Thoughts? I cant' wait to get it! Wish I hadn't just sold my old gold Bigsby B6 though! D'oh!

J4T5 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I tried to do a web search and couldn't find anything. You have to post some pics. That must look amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vomer Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yeah, c'mon j. I remember this thread from 2011 and waiting for pics then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdogric12 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Where are my manners? So sorry about that, chaps. Here are some quick pics I just snapped for you. Enjoy! I talked to a friend of mine who works for Gibson. He looked it up in their database and told me they made 40 in this finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4T5 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Oh Yeah - That's awesome! That must have a huge fat sound but sweet. I like the headstock and fretboard inlays with the black finish body. They really pop. Great score - hold on to that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdogric12 Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Thanks! Ugh, so torn. Other gear calls! What to do, what to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crust Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Keep it, that's what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crust Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 If you get rid of it, you will never get it back. That is a very rare guitar. "Other gear" may not be such a rarity and can be procured soon enough...don't be in such a hurry, take a deep breath, relax and say to yourself "I will not sell my "Black Beauty" ", over and over...like a Mantra....

Thomse Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Thanks! Ugh, so torn. Other gear calls! What to do, what to do... That is a nice guitar if you do not want it i will give you $450 for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vomer Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Wow, that was worth waiting for. I do like black guitars, and I only own one. I'd be inclined to agree with crust, but at the end of the day it depends how zen- non-attachment you can be about these things. If you have any doubt, keep it.

jdogric12 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Thanks everybody. I think I'll try to sell some other stuff off instead. I'm in an acquisition mode for Genesis stuff, since I play Rutherford in a tribute band. I recently sold off a large chunk of the collection (including my beloved turquoises, WildKat, LP Studio, and Riviera - kept the Casino) to fund the purchase of a very rare Shergold doubleneck - a replica of Mike's from the late 70's, recreated in every detail, including machining whatever parts could not be found NOS. I also just got a Roland G-202/GR-300 and GR-500/GS-500 for the 78-81 synth-y type stuff. I have a few oddballs I can unload before the Broadway goes.
