rct Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 But yeah it's hard to justify it when you have two new ones setting there. I'm 50 now so it's not like I will wear these out even though I still play out. When I was 40 I kept them in cases so they got a break from the world. By the time I was 50 I kept them in cases so they didn't get dusty and rusty from sitting around in the basement. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I just realized something: that G-Force is one of those nerdy Star Wars allusions with the G obviously standing for Gibson. May the G-Force be with you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May the G-Force be with you... Lol... It reminds me of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2jjCMgGOYw even though really I know it as Battle of the Planets (much better intro) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobF_ Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 ... We are too busy at work writing in this forum to buy guitars. rct Now THAT is funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 It didn't occur to me that they might be sitting around smoking dope and watching cartoons. Oddly enough, one of the G-Force characters is actually a recycled Speed Racer face. That could be or it may be a fiendishly clever move to increase Epiphone's market share. All kidding aside, if I owned Gibson I'd have a big plaque right at eye level in front of me which reads: What Would Ted McCarty Do? Sure, he had some duds over the years but he also knew what worked and he did it very well. Here's an interesting interview with Mr. McCarty: http://www.vintageguitar.com/2826/ted-mccarty/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Rabs - I remember that show now from when I was a kid in the early 80's I think - used to come on before Monkey Magic from memory (we only had 2 TV channels back then, let alone internet) Not sure it helps the e-tuner thing's credibility any mind you...

Lol, yeah I love Monkey Magic and used to love all those cartoons... I seem to remember them being on at bout 4:30ish on BBC1 and then Monkey Magic was on at 6 on BBC 2 while the news was on 1... (BBC 2 had great shows at 6, Star Trek, The Invaders, Quantum Leap all that cool stuff) :) How bout this one... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobF_ Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 We all need to believe in something. Since we can't continue to believe in Gibson, I believe I'll open another bottle of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Could the G-Force actually be inspired by Gigantor, The Teen-Aged Robot? There's your G, you've got the robo part, hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 lol Rabs, we didn't have that one, but being a virtual British outpost, the after-school TV at the time probably went something like: Catweasel Battle of the Planets Monkey Magic Doctor Who The Goodies Then dinner time and mum and dad ruled the only TV in the house after that. Looking at that line-up, the 'what were they smokin' ?' question seems valid in both the UK and the far east... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quapman Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Im kinda with rct here and never really understood why anyone would need or want 5 Les Pauls. I will just be happy to end up with one of each. Im really only a Tele and an SG away from complete.(for me) And a real Strat is on the gas list. Im happy with the LP I have. They can put out what they want. Im done. And don't really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobF_ Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Well, I'ma one guitar of the different kinds that matter kinda guy. I'd only get another Les Paul if this one fell down the steps, and since they don't go out anymore that won't be happening I don't think. I'd only add a second Les Paul if it was made for me only, like purple sparkle or something. But that won't be happening, they want sick money for such a thing. rct The only reason I want another LP is because of weight. Something nice and light that mostly sounds and feels like my B7 to play every day. Maybe even a 'J' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 You're right, Gigantor was the Space-Aged Robot. Small wonder Gibson never offered me a cushy office job, my encyclopedic knowledge of crappy 70s cartoons isn't quite up to company standards.
