SteveFord 625 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Arctic White 3 pick up SG Custom, ebony fretboard, Lyre tail piece, gold plated hardware, non-reliced that doesn't cost a gazillion bucks. ES 345 w/ VariTone and ES 355 w/ ebony fret board, VariTone, Lyre tail piece, gold plated hardware, mono. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sparquelito 708 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 A Les Paul with Natural Finish, no edge binding anywhere, naked black humbuckers, and just one volume knob and one tone knob. I'd prefer an ebony fingerboard with no inlays at all, but rather those small edge markers. Black headstock face, black pick guard, and black back covers. Plain black pick guard cover. I don't care where the pickup selector switch is, but I lean toward "down by the volume and tone knob" more so than the usual spot. Keep it under $1,300 US Dollars, please. That is all. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

'Scales 541 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 hmmm. ok... a Les Paul Standard with: uncomfortably wide neck, brass zero-fret nut that wears away quickly, childlike scribble of the Les Paul logo on the headstock plus a weird hologram of Les doing a Star Trek greeting on the back, super cool looking G Force robo-tuners (this should really be mandatory), in an odd looking brown plastic case. ...oh, and at the 2015 extra high prices please!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
duane v 518 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I would like to see more consistent beveling on the SG horns. In other words beveling that simulates the early 60’s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabs 1,362 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 (edited) Well if Gibson are to continue with its non changing line up.. I would like to see other types of special runs than Signature models... Maybe even bring back guitar of the month for this year.. Have fun with it... After the last year we could all do with some more fun. And bring me a BFG with a slim taper neck and the original pickup combo of P90 and BB3...

Mr. Gibson 612 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I want the 336 back. This is as bad as Schawan discontinuing pizza burgers and biscuits and gravy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pinch 409 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 1984 Explorer re-issue with Dirty Fingers (contrary to what some folks will tell you, I think the "new" Dirty Fingers are just fine). Why go after ESP et al if they're not gonna have a 1984 Explorer for sale? The 1984 Explorer looks like the ESP lawsuit Explorers, but IMHO doesn't look like Explorers with pickguards. Mind you, not buying atm, but I think they should be perennial in the range. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt. Pepper 1,007 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 (edited) There are about 36 LP models, 19 SG's if you count the double neck as an SG, 12 ES's, 12 or 13 of the Designer models, and billions of acoustics. How many more do you want. I remember when the site under Henry's reign had over 100 LP's. Do you want to go back to that? Don't know why I asked I know the answer is - Yes. Edited January 26 by Sgt.

Karloff 528 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 to be honest my 335's have kinda ruined me as far as playing other guitars. I still do, and enjoy them but the 335's are it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Ford will tell ya its the illusive Firebird VII. What are the differences between Firebird models I - VII? X was a s-hit show. Edited January 26 by Sgt.

SteveFord 625 Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 I have a Firebird VII, it's on a stand right next to me. It's a bruiser to play just like I remembered. It kind of feels like something that belongs in a marching band next to the bassoon. It's mostly number of pick ups for 1, III (gets a whammy bar) and V, the VII has an ebony fret board, Lyre tail piece and 3 pick ups plus it weighs a bit. Kind of like the difference between a 335 and a Lucille, same thing just more upscale and heavier with a stouter neck. Same family but a whole different feel to it.

SteveFord 625 Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 I know: double cut Les Paul Special, bound rosewood fret board, 2 P90s, tune-a-matic bridge in TV Yellow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
