rocketman Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I never played one. They look interesting (remember seeing them a while ago somewhere). Here are a bunch more. I also really like the look of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Wow that greenish color is weird never seen anything like that nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I played one in a store back in the mid 90's. I was VERY unimpressed. It didnt' sound like a Les Paul and it didn't sound like a 335 (both of which I owned at the time), it was just really wierd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmonicchaos Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 looks nice. If it sounds as good as the idea than i'd take it! If i had 10 grand to blow that is... if i had 10 grand though i'd probably just get a custom order guitar made or heavily customize an already very nice guitar.

Guitar slinger Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I don't think the logo is messed up. It just god old and cropped but that's normal. And that guitar really looks awesome. The binding, the body, the top... everything looks fantastic. Be there the 335 tone and there is heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar slinger Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Dem00n, it looks like you are making an effort to write correctely. That's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGBENDS Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 That's not a bad looking guitar. I wonder if Ted Nugent has a few of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I would hope that it didn't sound like another model guitar as there wouldn't be any point to it other than aesthetics. It doesn't look like my cup of bourbon though; when I see F holes I expect a larger body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esch Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I don't like the f-holes on a small guitar body like this...it looks really crowded. Much better off with an es-339 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I had only seen the Epiphone versions. I have to say the 2001 Cherry Epi looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MI_Canuck Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Was watching this youtube clip, and the semi-hollow LP came to mind... check it at 1:10... I don't think it's a semi-hollow LP but looks similar... what is it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNZru4JG_Uo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 It is one MI_Canuck the pickguard is covering the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MI_Canuck Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 But the knob pattern isn't quite Les Paul, and the horn is a bit sharper... tailpiece isn't stopbar... Pickguard is not LP shape... Looks like a cross between a semi-hollow LP and an L-4 CES or ES-175 type guitar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Could be a custom dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 It's a Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion (original model). See here for details (bottom of the page). Lifeson used it for the guitar solo on Tom Sawyer for the Moving Pictures album. He also used it earlier on Different Strings from the Permanent Waves album. They still sell a Gibson Custom Howard Roberts Fusion III (see here for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max2343 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Might be the ES-137 that are about 2 1/2 to 3 inches thick with only one F hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
