cs orange widow Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Well,,,, the time has come to purchase a new les Paul custom.. I will be talking to my dealer ( Gibson dealer not drug dealer) tomorrow morning... I've bout Afew limited run customs from him already, a 2012 orange widow, and a 2014 purple widow.... I'm able to handpick the top, and color scheme, and fretboard an basically build whatever I want. Sooooo I have a ton of options, I would love just a silver burst, or a tobacco burst, or a lemon burst,, and orrrrr maybe something like that centipede custom on the website.... The sad part is we won't it for almost a year!!!! If anyone has any unique customs post some pics,,, an it will help me decide what I want..
jdgm Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Probably not quite what you were thinking but this is 1956 spec, all mahogany with P90s.....

cs orange widow Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 I should probably ask somewhere else but maybe afew people will see this,,,, does anyone have a 3 pup custom?? does it make a big difference as opposed to a 2 pickup?? im also considering a black beauty with 3 pickups...

Hello! I don't have one, though, but it is different. The middle switch position gives the combination of middle and bridge pickups out-of-phase. If You lower the volume of a pickup, the phenomenon disappears. Bence.
J.4knee Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 I will be talking to my dealer ( Gibson dealer not drug dealer) Well hey if the latter has any deals let us know LOL

I wish I had a month or two hahaha Lol.. but what a dilemma to have.. If only :) Have you made any decisions yet on which direction you are going to go?
cs orange widow Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Yeah,,,, I think so. Try an stay with me on this lol.... My budget isn't what it seems,,, I can't have Gibson build me anything crazy cause I simply can't afford it,,, but here is what I have In mind... A Gibson Les Paul Custom silverburst,,,,,, but instead of the black I would like it to be a wicked Teal that fades into silver... Same pups and wiring and all that jazz... I can't afford to hot rod it as much as I'd like lol... It's not complicated at all lol,,, but it's different
deeman Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Be sure to share some photos when you get it, I'm curious to see what that color will look like.
cs orange widow Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Heres what I have in mind,,,,, im leaning toward the first link with the black, cause the second one looks too much like a robot guitar... hopefully this works http://www.frankmontag.com/sc_guitar.htm http://www.frankmontag.com/sc_guitar.htm

Rabs Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Well That didn't work hahaha No, you need to do a screenshot, the FN button and PRTSC together will take a screenshot, then you need to open a picture editor and paste it in there then save it... Easier than it all sounds :)
