capmaster Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Wow! I really like that. Does it come in green? They make 100 of them, all in blue and signed by Joe Bonamassa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capmaster Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I never cared for Pelham Bluelue. Now Lake Placid Blue that is a different matter. No blue Gibson but a blue Fender here. Lake Placid Blue, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 I count two: one just has the option of a Bigsby. Nope... two different models... thus a $2000 price difference :o One says based on his sig model, one says exact specifications to his model. ($2000 for a bigsby and a signature <_< ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Nope... two different models... thus a $2000 price difference :o One says based on his sig model, one says exact specifications to his model. ($2000 for a bigsby and a signature <_< ) I see. One says "a player", and the other "to his exact specs.."...(paraphrased). But what I didn't read (cause it wasn't writ), was what's the DIFFERENCE besides the Bigsby? Or rather, what of his 'exact specs' vs 'player'? And actually, the page doesn't really say all that much anyway. I'm all for a Custom shop '60 repro/reissue costing about 3-4 cake, but it's not really clear if it is in the same category, or exactly WHAT category it is.

Ive been through all the specs.. and as far as I can tell the ONLY difference is that with the more expensive one you get a bigsby, a hand signed pickguard and a hand signed case... That really seems to be it.. Apart from that they are exactly the same (well from the info given anyway). I guess they just both come under "artist model" which is what ever the artist asks for it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pesh Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 That's too bad. Everyone knows blue guitars are evil and must be burned. Epiphone have got a green JB signature; which technically I guess makes 4 signature LP's, even though I've never seen JB with an Epi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesh Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 And now I've read up on both of the "Soup Bursts"...some criticisms... What signature have they based this off of, exactly? The Goldtop he had a few years back? What's with the SD pickups; doesn't he have signature of those, too? When has he played a guitar that colour?! H'e plays vintage LP's almost exclusively, yet this one has modern weight relief? ZAMAK metals on a Custom Shop, seriously not going with the proper aluminium tail? Generally; what the f**k, Gibson? (rant over) Also, does anyone know what these SP1-A and SP1-B headstock designations are about? And when Gibson started joining the neck at 5 degrees (I thought it was 3?)

Hmm, I think its more of a case of sometimes an artist wants a new guitar with certain specs and Gibson decide to cash in on that (or maybe if the artist agrees to go sign a few they get their guitars for free?).... Donno how that all works really... But not every signature model is based on an already famous guitar some are just designed in conjunction with players for limited runs for which they can charge all that much more..

And when Gibson started joining the neck at 5 degrees (I thought it was 3?) Specs say nine-hole aka Swiss Cheese weight relief. As far as I know, apart from 1952 to 1954, Les Paul neck angles have always been 4° or 5°. They called the pegheads SP-1 (small) and SP-2 (big) since decades. Don't know about the "B" though. ZAMAK parts won't match the pre-1958 imperial-sized threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donno how that all works really...

Remember, dealer cost. Bigger the dealer lower the dealer cost. Nobody is getting free guitars or rich offa signature guitars. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
