  2. Such great work there.. Impressive sir :)
  3. Looks sweet man ... Good job (as always :))
  4. Wow.. that's great work man.. I bow to your luthieryness :)
  5. What about those frets? Will it be playable with those so corroded?
  6. Damn.. now that's what you call brittle.. Was it mouldy damp then heat? And yeah.. I will watch your re-build :)
  7. Fuzzy Wuzzy was a Woman?

  8. That looks freakin awesome man.. Like the black trim and hardware on the natural finish
  9. I have a 1960 Classic and love the pups and the guitar... It SCREAMS when it wants too and can actually be mellow with the right settings. It has the best range in terms of sound than any of my other guitars.. You get all the Highs, Mids and Lows and it only gets better with age I can undertsand why people think they are too much but for me they are great.. Also I used to think my Classic was a solid body before I came on here.. But it weighs so much I dont undertsand how it cant be lol :)
  10. The best way to change the world is with random acts of kindness

  11. I wonder if the cost of buying your stairway to heaven has gone up in the recession? :)

  12. And yes to the 60s necks.. My first ever LP (back in like 92) was a studio but with a 50s neck.. When I went to get my next one I just tried a bunch and didnt even know what it was called but I got it as I liked the neck so much. It turned out I got a Classic 1960 Re-issue (which when you dont know looks just like a Standard to you). And man I havent looked back since.. ALL of my Gibbys must have a 60s neck its the most important thing to me. So yeah. let us know how you get on man. Things too look for.. Really rough fret edges which has been a big complaint with guitars that dont have neck binding.. Inntonation.. That each note up and down the fret board is in tune and not buzzing (but that could just be a bad setup that is again a big complaint and can be easily fixed, but should really be done by every guitar shop before they get sent out) Apart from that just check the neck is straight and that all the knobs and switches work and you should be ok :)
  13. Actually havent got a clue :) It says these are the pickups Electronics Neck pickup: 490R Bridge pickup: Burstbucker Pro Which is quite an unusual combination that ive not actually seen before.. BUT they are both great pickups so id imagine it sounds pretty darn good... The thing with guitars especially Gibsons as they are hand finished, is that each one sounds ever so slightly different depending on how its set up and how resonant the particular piece of wood is that went into making it.. So the only way is to try it relly... In saying that, most Les Pauls I have played have been very resonant.. Its the playability of the guitar that is important and is what makes me choose one over another, even if they are they same model and colour. It all comes down to your personal taste really. If your purchasing online, then you take that risk really... Better to try and find one you can play in my view, but there are many members on here who do order online and have no problems.. So thats down to you :) Good luck.. and of course we want to see pics of whatever you end up with.. Happy hunting (thats half the fun anyway ;))
  14. Looks like a damn good deal to me... It seems that Gibson is having a sake on at the moment to clear the pre 2012 stock.. So is a really good time to buy right now (unless one of the new models take your fancy).. But studios are great guitars.. and that one has a lovely top
  15. How can you have any pudding if ya don't eat your meat!!!

  16. Dust, Wind, DUUUUUUUDEEEE!

  21. Thats a sweet looking one.. I love those worn brown studios. My brother in law has one and if it wernt for the 50s neck id have bought one fore sure.. Looks like a REAL bit of wood and you get the Burstbucker Pros which are better (I think) than the standard studio pickups you usually get :) Happy playing man.. (if you feel like it we love to see vids or hear sound clips of people playing, so feel free to post (theres a thread in the lounge called Walk the Walk Talk the Talk)
  22. Anyone that says "im first" on a forum or site is stupid !! :P
