  1. yeah...I played in a club group with Skip for a couple years. Everyone thought he was crazy but, I don't think that of him. That's a good album. :>) whoops...Rick & Morty's on.
  2. My first Gibson was a modified DC Melody Maker from 60's. She was wearing a PAF in the rhythm post and an older P-90 screamer @ bridge. Upgraded Tune O'Matic & Schaller pegs. I loved playing that little necked screamer. My other Gibsons were a '73 Custom. A 2nd MM ala Les Paul mods. I scored a SG/Les Paul @ Leo's music in Oakland, Ca. A 2nd SG Custom born in 1970. Heritage Cherry/3 pups/Gold H'ware etc. A 1970 L.P. Standard Cherry S'Burst from a rich kid who needed $300 to buy a motorbike. I lucked out & "from a closet" (really) appeared a 1958 L.P.Jr. 3/4/ neck. Bonus prize was a 1958 Fender Champ. (This was a good day). My Lead guitarist found a 1958 Flying Vee under the stage that Moby Grape had used and forget to look around for strays. (wow). Nino Rugeriello played the Hell out of that. The rest in The Gibson history files sound on.
  3. Happy to finally learn about the Custom Shop R8 R9 meanings. Well defined, thank you. Having owned many lovely Gibsons, I am a Gibson lover. I could not afford a Custom Shop but wanted a Les Paul "8 or '9. I bought a 2003 Bacchus BLS 59. The person who sold it to me, sent me a complete birth certificate including every type of wood used, and all sorts of exacting specs. After I beeswaxed the fretboard & restrung her I had total recall as to the magic of The Gibson. I'll never afford the real Gibson 8 or 9, but this is close enough for my soul. I almost never discuss brands other than the home brand of the forum. This particular guitar brought me here to understand such labels as R8 R9 classics. Gibson has made so many marvelous guitars. I hope this gets posted. I need to sign up for the Gibson Forum. 🥃
