  1. Lol... No, I did my own shape and my own headstock... It also had custom made pickups from an old member (Searcy)... So do your Gibsons smell like fried rice?
  2. When it comes to multi neck guitars.. This is still my favorite.
  3. Still have the pics. Started off like this.. and ended up like this, nitro finish an all.
  4. No.. I did several guitars and the first one I ever got paid for was to convert a 59 LP Junior to a John Lennon copy with the Charlie Christian pickup. Duane has done some stuff like that too yes.
  5. Well firstly its not really a problem at all... I just wouldnt pay that much just for a guitar.. I dont actually care if people want to buy them, we are just discussing it. And actually thats why I started making guitars in the first place. I really wanted a Gibson with a P90 at the neck and humbucker at the bridge which Gibson have only made a few of and there was nothing else in the line that had that so thats exactly what I did.. Made my own 😄 But that in itself doesnt stop 50k for a guitar being bonkers if anything re-inforces the fact that its a crazy price cos I know exactly how much it cost to build a guitar.
  6. Ha.. I was looking at the Gibson page and saw this guitar.. I reckon thats what he is playing. So I was sort of right I reckon, a replica 64 335 Custom 1964 ES-335 Reissue, Bigsby, Custom Made Plate, Murphy Lab Light Aged, Vintage Burst | Gibson
  7. Well I hate to be one of those.. But I do think the prices are absolutely crazy. Imagine what you could buy with that money like a really nice car... I donno.. Im sure they will stupidly all sell out too. Its just a mad world when a guitar cost $50k. I dont care whos signature is on it or if Tom Murphy worked on each one himself.. Still no where near worth 50k.. Madness I tell you. The profit margins on these must be crazy.
  8. Whats to say.. Even without looking I know it will be ridiculously expensive.. Well way more than I would ever spend on a guitar anyway.. They are cool instruments but very niche..
  9. You know, I never really thought I would say this but I miss the Henry Juszkiewicz days.. Up until the last five years or so when he went around buying up random electronic companies and tried to turn Gibson in to a "lifestyle" brand. But I always got the impression he did actually care about the guitars and getting lower end models in the hands of young players...
  10. Yeah. I donno. Slash I would imagine just does what he wants and uses the guitars he wants. I was looking to see what sort of model 335 he was playing and it looked a lot like an original 1964 custom in which case he is paying tribute by using a period correct instrument on the track as it were. Now, do I think that Gibson would see that as an opportunity. Well yeah, I guess thats why I asked in the first place but it sorta seems inevitable.
  11. Well apparently outside of the US, Japan is Gibsons biggest territory.. They have often released stuff that only gets released over there. Some really interesting stuff too over the years like the Tak Matsumoto double cut.
  12. You may be right about the Jessica. I saw this on Youtube.. Its an odd interview as he has an interpreter which isnt whats odd, just that they usually cut that sort of stuff out.. At one point he waits so long for her to translate that he gets bored and picks up the guitar while he waits 😄
  13. This is what happened to the guitars one of the last times they tried to shake things up and do something more modern.
