  1. Man a beautiful guitar!! This is the same guitar that Andy uses in the Pro guitar Shop demos on youtube. I love the 07's!! I have a 72,78,07,13 and i would sell any of them before the 07.I'm looking for another now,but i dont live in the US and they are hard to find in my country ,because most owners wont sell them. They sound and feel amazing.They are acoustically very loud and the sustain, tight bottom and RESONANCE is beautiful.They will also cut like a motherf$%ker at high volume,and once setup up properly hold tune really well.They also can pull lots of classic LP's sounds, we all know and love. Actually, the reason i bought one in the first place was i was working at a punk/hard rock venue and i heard guy playing this guitar and it blew my mind.I struck up a conversation and he told me it was a 07,i later found one in 2013! As far as the 72 and 78 i have i just dont enjoy playing them, as much as the 07,i find the 07's to have a very lively sound and they are also very "dynamic" in that subtle changes, and swaying of the body & just small manipulations offer great vibrato's. I've heard all the "chambered" arguments but they dont mean nothing to me,if a guitar can sound like this-they also dont seem to mean much to many HUGE artists like Bonamassa,Gibbons and tons of jazz players etc etc etc.I've also heard a great cloud 9(also chambered.).They also have the approx the same weight as an original 59 too.
  2. Noooo. Don't fake it son.Let it age for real,it will have tons of REAL mojo/character).Have you noticed a guitar with REAL wear,whether twenty years old or fifty years has a REAL character or vibe feel. Eventually noone will want to buy imitation relic guitars because they will be everywhere and people will want the real thing and not the fake ones.I understand if a wealthy person wants one to display on a wall or music room. I find "artificial" wear has none of both.It just does for the deluded owner who secretly wants credibility(whether they know it or not)and dream about how they got that fake wear,on world tour with a imaginary band.I've heard all the arguments,but its still "faking it". Read this article.The writer is correct. http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/19666-last-call-if-you-relic-your-guitar
  3. You are spot on IMO.All the serious Gibson users i know,would all buy used if they had a choice,because its usually the better option-because you can always almost get a new guitar at a great price. In a way this also feeds into the Chibson issue.As far as I'm concerned the Chibson issue is actually is a good thing for Gibson because now you have to be seriously careful when buying used Gibsons . I know a lot of people who have said "I really wanted to buy a used one but there's to many fakes-so i have to go to a music store to buy one so i know I'm getting the real the thing".....and people are right in thinking this.One of my mates almost got burnt for $2500 on a Chibson, just the other day.Yes,he wasn't a guitar expert and all of us started somewhere-but that's my point. People who buy Chibson are not going to buy a Gibson,they have either got no money,to stupid or just not interested.I personally think they're insane.
