Black Dog Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Looks great. Not sure I would mail order an $8000 guitar. Gutsy move. Not really that gutsy. They have a good return policy. I doubt I'll be disappointed, but you never know. I hope that a big part of what I'm paying for is not the hide glue, special plastic, etc, but rather superior craftsmanship and quality. We'll see. Thanks for the compliment, it is a nice looking guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Lovely guitar BD - wear it low like Pagey (but invest in straplocks first ffs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Lovely guitar BD - wear it low like Pagey (but invest in straplocks first ffs) He does sling it low doesn't he... I wear mine up over my chest like I imagine Pee Wee Herman would, if he played. I could probably pick it with my teeth!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I just noticed an aesthetic flaw on it which would probably start a whole discussion about Gibson’s QC but I’m sure this happened on the original bursts too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Sorry man I have QC vision from work and can’t turn it off! It’s such a minor and common aesthetic flaw, I hope you enjoy the guitar enough that it doesn’t bother you. And I hope I didn’t rain on your parade, but you’d probably notice at some point on your own anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 I'm not worried about it at all. I'll lay eyes, hands and ears on it soon and if it's got problems i'll deal with it. I downloaded the photo and zoomed in on my monitor and I think it looks fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerad12 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Yes please, I'll have what he's having. That's a hell of a good looking guitar. Congrats and enjoy. If it plays anywhere near as good as it looks you should be in guitar heaven in about 72 hours or so. Keep us posted on how it turns out. You should change your user name to lucky dog with a score like that, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 What can I say that's not been said before? Absolutely Stunning in every way! The figure is in a league of its own but the first thing which struck me was how beautiful the colour and spray pattern are on that one. One of the best 'burst finishes I've ever seen. My heartiest congrats! Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My heartiest congrats! Pip. Thanks very much Pip. Yeah, it's nice color and spray job. The color is "Murphy Sunburst". This one is one of the Wildwood Spec by Tom Murphy guitars. So the wood selection, parts selection, finishing and build are all supposedly by either TM people or in the case of the painting, by TM himself. It also has the WW spec custombuckers which I'm told are slightly under wound compared to standard and are also hand picked/paired by TM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 A lot!!! Wildwood lists it for $8649. Well, whatever you can afford, I guess? Certainly is a lovely Les Paul! :D CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Very nice. Bummer about the binding though. You could buy three Standards for that price and there'd probably be one that has the binding scraped properly, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
