    Gibson guitars by Echopark

    in The Gibson Lounge

    Posted

    I've seen a couple other mentions of a few other's that are "partners".

     

    My question is, is this whole thing a result of the whole "play original" and threats/lawsuits of the brands that copy Gibson shapes?  Does this just boil down to "we will take a fee and then allow you to use our shapes"???

    Your secret weapon?

    I'm not really secret or weapon worthy, but I love my TC Spark Boost......I find it can do several simple things that are nice to have handy.  Slight boost for leads, it can be an "always on" to fatten things up a bit, can dial it in for quite a bit of grit and yet leave the original tone fairly un-molested.

    Can someone talk about prototypes...?

    in Gibson USA

    Had the pleasure of playing a Jeff Beck prototype that Stevie D of Buckcherry had.  Not sure if it was ever released to the public or not.

     

    That said, as far as the original question, the vary.  I've heard of specific artists getting a small number of "prototypes" of their signature guitars with subtle differences for them to choose which one will be the final released model.

    The Studio club

    in Gibson USA

    Posted · Edited by NHTom

    No pics or anything but I spent a few hours playing my 07 wine red Studio today and it still just astounds me how much guitar I got for the money.

    It's not the fanciest one out there (obviously) but out of a store full of Les Pauls that's the one that said Buy Me!

     

    Huge "bang for your buck" guitars IMO

     

    Drives me crazy when people say "It's just a studio...." like it's a negative thing......great guitars.

    Yeah, some heavy hitters in their history.

    The Compulsions are the brainchild of vocalist/guitarist Rob Carlyle.

     

     

     

    To bring his musical vision to life, Rob has enlisted some the best New York-area players he could find, perhaps most notably drummer Frank Ferrer and guitarist Richard Fortus, who have both played in Guns N’ Roses, as well as bassist Sami Yaffa, who has played in Hanoi Rocks, Joan Jett and New York Dolls.

     

     

     

    Other notable contributors include drummer Jay Dee Daughtery of the Patti Smith Group, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and New York Blues Hall Of Fame inductee, Hugh Pool, bassist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and twice Grammy-nominated engineer Ken Rich and of course, dearly departed guitarist Hubert Sumlin, legendary sideman for blues icons Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters, as well as one of Rolling Stones 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time.
