swampash Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Picked up this beauty today. It's a NOS 2010 model that is made to perfection, that sat in a warehouse for 6 years. Also got a really nice strap for it. ❤❤❤❤❤ I actually owned one back in 2012 that looked exactly the same but it had inferior build quality. The frets and fingerboard were poorly finished and the binding on the neck was all crooked and had overspray on it. This one is 100% in terms of build quality and somehow feels lighter. Best Gibson I've ever owned.
Pesh Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Now that is a damn fine looking guitar. Such a vibrant colour! Congratulations!
pippy Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Very, VERY Pretty! Picked up this beauty today...............I actually owned one back in 2012 that looked exactly the same.... I must admit that as soon as I opened this thread and read the first line I double-checked the date of the first post. Your later explanation helped clear things up enormously! Happy NGD! Pip.
IanHenry Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 What a nice top. Makes you wonder how it can be left there unsold for six years. It must have been waiting for you! Enjoy. Ian
Rabs Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Wow... that's a lovely example... Happy playing man
capmaster Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Congrats on this pretty catch! Enjoy playing her!
skilsaw Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Looks like a marriage made in heaven. Nice pictures of the new bride.
daveinspain Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Wow nice find…! How did you come across it?
swampash Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 Wow nice find…! How did you come across it? A friend runs a Music Store in Dublin got it in through a contact in the UK. Not much dealers left stocking Gibson Guitars here as being a distributor for them isn't easy and it's not worth their while.
PelhamBlueFire Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Awesome! Figured 335...I love those. You're not good for my GAS, mate.
swampash Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 Thanks everyone. I must admit that I've made a deal with this Guitar to play it as much as I can after living it's first six years as a case queen in some warehouse in the UK. Poor thing! It will get all the love it deserves. :)
