rocketman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 That headstock is just unbelievable. Just when you think you've seen it all, something like this comes along. Hey maybe they'll do a burst headstock too someday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobv Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Ok but there's no such thing as "6A." It was a stretch for them to ever say AAAA when woodworking figured woods go up to AAA, but 6A is just hype. Nice guitar of course, just not my cup of tea.

badguitarist91 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 It's sick, but I about wet myself at the price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown Rug Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 i'm sure it sounds amazing, but i'm just not a fan of the blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemoon Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 The blue is ugly. What a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hey, OK, I know I'm a wrinklie but I think that's just about the most horrid Les Paul I've seen in my life. Nothing about it appeals to me. My main fear would be that it sounded Magnificent! Good luck! to both seller and buyer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six-string Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 it kinda reminds me of this guitar i inherited from a buddy of mine. its a Brian Moore custom same sort of deluxe quilted maple cap only this one is sea green obviously and has a dolphin inlay on the 12th fret to go with the sea motif.

Blaster Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 These big quilt tops always seem to be over-hyped. I don't know why the sellers refer to them as '59 reissues as they did not make anything remotely close to this wood type and color in the '50s. The abalone inlays and logo just increase the nausea level. Here's a Korina one from '95 that I owned for a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarbob123 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 now if i was having a custom guitar pippys avatar would be what they have to replicate. if they didn't i wouldn't pay. i hate that blue thing it just looks cheap to me aprat from the price on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
