Not much "Gibson" left in this guitar except the wood and paint job. Most everything else is custom made/fitted parts. In fact, as we speak, I have an artist carving on a block of Sterling Silver to make a new tailpiece insert. I've seen the rough carving, and I can't wait to see the finished masterpiece. He says all he has left to do is polishing and engraving.

Enjoying these pics. Some surprises here.

 

My 'favourite' is this one. Ive had it 21 years.

 

It aint pretty, I dont like the colour & dont like its image as a metal guitar (I dont do metal). I dont like the Floyd Rose (which is disabled BTW).

But it is the best. It plays better, feels better. Its built better. It also works for its keep.

So when a photo shoot is on, it goes in the closet and I fetch a pretty guitar. But for a critical gig, its always 1st up.

This is perhaps the nicest pix collection I have seen on here. Everything from Larry's L5 to the SGs.

 

And the Strats! I've never regretted part-ex-ing mine, but there is something about the shape that recalls those delicious sounds. And rct's blue one has somehow imprinted on me.

This one is my go to; 2004 CS-336 Custom order one-off. It's a dream to play and a great looker. I have 4 LP's, 6 Strats, a Johnny A. and a Larry CarltonES-335, but the 336 is first out of the stable.

Photos don't do justice to the beautiful tangerine burst quilt. It is even more spectacular in person. The finish has a great 3D effect.

Without any hesitation my Gibson Tal Farlow, I waited so long to get one and I was not dissapointed:

WOAH! LOVE THAT TAL FARLOW ESPECIALLY IN VICEROY BROWN [love] [love] [love]

 

Not just an awesome guitar, but he was one of my favourite players too.

 

Nice to see a couple of other archtop players on here besides myself. Always great to see Larry's L5 too. It's a beauty. [smile]

 

Some gorgeous ones all round here though, from that blue LP at the start, through to the SG's, Strat's and others. A fine collection of instruments we all have here. AWESOME!
