Black Knight?

[NHTom]

What can anyone tell me about a Gibson Black Knight?

 

Saw one listed locally and had never seen one before.

 

Looks like a LP with a bolt on, but has pointy headstock..........

 

Any info good or bad?

If it's a real Gibson, you may be talking about a Gibson Maruader.

Invaders had bolt-on necks too, but the Maruader's is "Pointy".

"Every once in awhile, someone in Gibson R&D gets a brainstorm like, “I know! Why don’t we make a bolt-neck guitar!” So they do. And the result is almost always interesting – and almost always a commercial flop. Call it “Les Paul syndrome.”"

I've see the Marauders, but this one is a six on a side headstock.......not quite a firebird, but in that feel. Dual humbuckers, LP body

Here's a pic of one I found..........

 

 

Was wondering how they play and what a fair price is on one? Pro's/Con's, etc
