drathbun Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 This is the piece that led me down the internet rabbit hole to find that great article about Ren that I posted earlier. This is a Ren Ferguson built, Master Museum J200 for sale at Reverb. It is only $50K plus shipping. I'd have to sell all my guitar and both my cars and then get a loan to purchase this guitar. It is nice to think about and look at though! Gibson Master Museum J200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Sorry but I do not find that guitar even remotely attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I think Mel Tillis and Eddie Rabbit used to play Ovations that color back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars68 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Sorry, but not a guitar for me. However, I do appreciate the workmanship. Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard McCoy Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The inlay work alone is mind-boggling (!), let alone the massively figured maple used for the back and neck of the guitar. It is just a shame that Ren's museum pieces aren't played the heck out of and are more for show because they were constructed with all the knowledge Gibson and Ren have gathered and learned throughout the decades of guitar-building trumping any past specimen in terms of sound and playability.

Murph Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Gibson has always done those. Overkill to the max. I think it's cool Ren jumped in and did it before he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafy31 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Sorry, but not a guitar for me. However, I do appreciate the workmanship. Lars This 2 pieces back of wood is stunning still... Though i 'm not sure if it is quatersawn lizard skin back or if it is really made of wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I wouldn't kick that one out of bed for eating crackers! Seriously - I think everyone here appreciates the fact that guitars are both tools and works of art. They can be raw and basic - with no visual appeal, and sound great. Or they can be beautiful and breath taking but sound like crap. The world class luthier will be able to combine the two. If you are just concerned about getting to your destination - you'll take the city bus. If you want to enjoy the ride - you'll buy a sports car.

JWG4927 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 This 2 pieces back of wood is stunning still... Though i 'm not sure if it is quatersawn lizard skin back or if it is really made of wood. Not figured maple. Has to be the quartersawn lizard skin. That, or the psychedelic quilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Yes sir, I'd play that one. The color is the perfect match for a pair of beat up Levi 501s. I really like the ribbon-less bridge.....has some nice inlay work but not those boring ribbons. Pickguard inlay is quite nice as well. As for the price......for 50K shipping should be included!!
