jdgm Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Whoah!! Hmmm, plastic surrounds....with something like this perhaps they should make a one-piece 3 pickup surround out of some sort of wood IMO. The board inlay is beautiful but I'd get lost...

Black Dog Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Who cares I would just love to stand with that naked. I don't care what it sounds like. Just as long as you don't post any selfies!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 While surely I don't think they are built to be players, but for arts sake, they are beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Beautiful as examples of craftsmanship. Seriously. Hideous as guitars, though. Wouldn't give them house room. Seriously. But I'm glad - nay; delighted - to know that Gibson is still doing these types of 'Exhibition Special' or whatever they are. Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 So it this a reissue? Because it says Les Paul Custom on the neck base. I'm not sure what they are officially classified as. I think they are just M2M one off's. The SG is from Wildwood. They just have it listed as a Custom Shop SG I think. The LP is from Music Zoo. It's also just listed as a Custom Shop LP. Other than being rich, I'm not sure what the target market is, but they sure are beautiful guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 FZfan has a point. The only alternative to naked would be have to be crushed velvet suit. Frilly lace sleeves... Are we tapping into the spirit of Mr. LLawrence LLLewellllyn BBowen, M-E? Pip. Actually in reality he's a really nice guy and not quite as 'precious' his on-screen affectations would have you believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 I will say this, if you show up anywhere with a guitar like that you'd better be able to play the snot out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 The designer's taste is in their mouth. They remind me of that SG with a gazillion little diamonds glued onto the front. Woof. I saw that timepiece Martin at the factory and it looked really nice. Not nice enough to rob a bank over but it wasn't over the top gaudy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Pretty to look at and wonder, who would buy that? But does nothing for me, I'd rather have something I can play and not worry about damaging it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I like stuff like those guitars. To me they are exercises in supreme craftsmanship. A bit like a Holland & Holland 12 bore shotgun. Other shotguns will shoot just as well (nearly) but H&H are works of art and examples of supreme engineering and craft. However, I couldn't see me buying a guitar as blingy as those even if I could afford to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I could see that being played somewhere like The Grand Ole Opry or Carnegie Hall or something like that. A "special occasion" guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 And if you're not into SG's there's this: It looks more western than country to me. Roy Rodgers on his horse (no jokes about pulling the Trigger please!) could pose with this guitar and look cool. He would need a long instrument cable though. I'm not over keen on Bling. Most Gretches are even too bling-y for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelT Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I didn't know Liberace played guitar. (not that there's anything wrong with that) That's exactly what I was going to say. It's way too busy for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
