SteveFord Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I just noticed the "maple block inlays" part on the Les Paul All Wood. I wonder what that's like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karloff Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 really like the color of the double cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyK Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Is it hollow body? My mate had one, but it was hollow body, and sounded as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Is it hollow body? My mate had one, but it was hollow body, and sounded as such. Possibly chambered but I don't think its hollow.. Cant find much other info on this model.. But it has the 120 inlay so must be a production model... (I wonder why they let the shops release this info before its on the Gibson site?)

LarryUK Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I love DC's and had a quick look on eBay and found this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2008-Gibson-Long-Horn-Double-Cut-BV-Trans-Blue-GOTM-Guitar-les-paul-dc-SALE-/181456511739?pt=Guitar&hash=item2a3fa6a2fb.

Jimi Mac Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hope no- one was offended by the ' poverty' remark- I know true poverty is nothing to joke about, and I used the word thoughtlessly. Don't fret none 'bout it! If you're a musician you've known poverty at one time or another... I too know what it's like to look at guitars of the things dreams are made of and know I just cannot achieve it... Situations come and go... Been on both sides of that street... I now own 2 Gibson Les Pauls. Life can be feast or famine! I'm trying to figure my way into an R6 or a Custom... Gonna take some time... The big stores were selling double-cuts a few years back, 2011 or so, here in The States and I was very smitten myself and if the right deal came along I can see adding one to my stable!

capmaster Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Man... its at times like this when I really hate being unemployed and broke.... ... Due to sharing your situation at the moment, I know very well what you're talking about. If you're a musician you've known poverty at one time or another... I too know what it's like to look at guitars of the things dreams are made of and know I just cannot achieve it... Situations come and go... Been on both sides of that street... ... You hit the nail on the head. The very solace I think is that they always made great instruments and will keep on doing so. Sometimes you like them and can afford them the same time, and sometimes not. After having to let them pass many times, there might be another chance to catch them. Gibson has lots of extraordinary guitars in the pipe for their 120th anniversary year but I guess there also will be some for their 125th anniversary in 2019, therefore still some hope is left. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buliwyf Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Beautiful LP's sweeet but right now I'd be happy with a LP studio,I miss that Gibson tone I get from a Gibson LP.I did have a little bit of cash around in late 2012 and wanted a double cutaway but couldnt find a LP,DC so I figured I'd try a PRS SE Santana it was a DC and the SE's had been getting good reviews and guess I couldnt resist the birds they started putting on the fretboards.It's a great guitar looks great and has a good sound actually the Santana sound is easy to get with it.For some reason I never bonded with it and should either sell it or try to trade it for a LP studio.I have bonded with my melody maker shaped like an explorer with one SD humbucker in it and one volume knob,I just miss not having a LP guess I'll try to save some cash . PRS Se Santana My Gibson MM explorer one volume knob,I do like white guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeman Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 That DC is great. Reminds me of my Hamer LP DC Copy i used to have. Great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffery Smith Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I planned to buy a doublecut the year they discontinued them. The local Guitar Center had only one, with a dent on the top. The sales guy promised that he could get a pristine one in a few days. He couldn't, the dented one was sold, and that's all she wrote. Gibson released a longhorn model, but I loved the original model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
