DCfan09 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Went to a local GC yesterday and found an awesome used Faded DC in Ebony that blew me away. I`ve been wanting a guitar with p90`s in it for awhile now especially a Gibson. I didn`t have the money to fund this on the spot but i did put it on layaway...i didn`t want to take the chance of someone else getting it! It`s an 04 and if there was any problems with the guitar brand new,the previous owner/owners took care of it because it is spot on in every way. Its all stock except the tuners which someone changed to Grovers. I should have it in a couple of weeks. :- Anyone like or have one of these?

pohatu771 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I've wanted one of those for a while... the closest I've gotten was a 1983 Gibson Spirit that had been re-routed for P-90s and spay-painted yellow. If I knew what was under the spraypaint, it might have been worth the $300, but I'm not in a position to gamble that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Don't have the "black one" in the Faded series, but I do have the TV Yellow version. Changed the pickguard to a multi-layered version, and the machines to Grover, and added a '59 TRC. (Just for my own enjoyment...not to "fool" anyone.) And, a Red and Black Double Cut LP "Junior Lite," that they don't make anymore. Added the TP-6 tailpiece, and change the machine heads (done in Gold, on the Black one).

charlie brown Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Thanks, guys....I love 'em! Love all my guitars, but I"ve always had a "thing" for double cut LP specials, or varieties thereof. My basically simple "mods" just made them "personal," you know? Cheers, CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I bought the red and black ones, within a couple of months of each other, in 2001. They were $425.00 each, with gigbag. Put about another $100 in mods, for each one, to get them to where they are, now. I bought the Red one, in mid/late July, and I was, ironically, on the phone ordering the Black one, when the first plane hit the Twin Towers, in New York. Wasn't sure, I'd ever get it/see it, at that time, since we didn't know exactly what was happening, and what the long term effects would end up being. So, they both have a special meaning, for me...even if for different reasons. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yeah, $425 new (then). I bought them from a small independent music store, in Wichita (KS), called "E.M. Shorts" which is the "guitar/amp" store, for "Wichita Band & Instrument Co." CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
