E-minor7 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Apart from the head it looks rather good - can't believe the sound lives up to that. May be ideal if it's time to sing Goodnight Ladies late at a dinner party. Orville, , , isn't he more or less in constant rotation. .

uncle fester Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Maybe it's nice, but there's a lot of guitars I'd want to collect, before I wanted to collect that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 A certain Utah collector has been very busy lately, converting his treasures into something more portable. His Master Museum J-180 Silver Sparkle is still available, should you wish to do more stargazing, but. . . it is the Super 400 China Dragon Custom that might give you some ideas for your next Made-2-Measure custom (for those finicky about the feel of your guitar neck, check out the back of the neck on the S400 Dragon, https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gibson-Super-400-China-Dragon-Custom-Masterpiece-Archtop-Guitar/174194559673?hash=item288ece0ab9:g:AsEAAOSw271dMkzu.

Click on Slim's eBay link, then "see other items" Hate to say it, but that has zero appeal to me. The only guitar I've ever played worth that kind of money--actually a whole lot more-- was one of the late 30s D-45s. That thing was pure magic. And it was a guitar that you could and would play without impacting on its value. Somehow I see that China Dragon guitar as a prop in a James Bond movie with a wealthy Chinese bad guy who uses it as an instrument of torture by playing an endless loop of "Freebird" and "Smoke on the Water" through a Marshall stack with your head tied to it.
