LarryUK Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) In the words of Britney....Oops I did it again! I couldn't resist the price, so I had it. Guitar guitar, £999 delivered. I think it's a bargain. It should be here tomorrow. Richlite fretboard, so it's different to my Classic.

LarryUK Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 I think I might put cream plastics on it too. I've got some cream covers from a 57 gold top reissue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I love the wine colour. It looks the same as a Standard I pursued in 2015. Classy look! Very nice score. Enjoy... PS I contacted GG about a 335 but they didnt think much of my trade in suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NighthawkChris Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 LarryUK, very nice new guitar! What is it about red Gibsons that looks so nice... You have a sweet NGD - and that solid red Gibby with the cream plastics is pretty damn swell too if I don't say so myself... Anyhow, hope your NGD plays as nice as she looks Congrats man!

LarryUK Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) It's just arrived. The pic I posted on the original post was a generic one, but this is as good. I've taken some quick pics and if any of you remember the Black Classic I had a year ago. The quality was suspect and fretwork poor. But this is perfect. The nibs are exact and good edges. The fretboard looks a bit dry and the satin finish looks odd but is nice to the hand. It came with a multiply pickguard too, which I didn't expect. Can they be fitted without drilling? So, all positive so far. Now that's a first from me. I'm very much a pessimist. I do wonder if it'd look nice with gold parts. I've got some gold locking Grovers that would be a direct fit. Who does a bridge/ tailpiece at a good price? Edited March 29, 2019 by LarryUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
