Carol B. Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Hello, I'm a photo stylist in Denver looking to rent a Gibson Explorer, or other 'zig-zag' black electric guitar for a TV commercial happening in Denver Oct 10/11. I will have my assistant pick it up and deliver it back to you the same day. The commercial is for an energy drink using professional actors. Will pay $200. I'm legit--www.carolbeaver.com Thanks so much in advance! Cheers, Carol Beaver 801-706-1590 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Carol Beaver 801-706-1590 Sure just come by my house and pick it up and bring it back when your done, and since you said you would handle it like a baby, I'll let you use it for free. You may be legit, but you are probably going to have to find someone you or an associate know that has one and see if they will let you borrow it. No way in hell I'm loaning out a $1000 guitar to some one I don't know. My wife doesn't even get to touch my guitars and her I know and trust. Edited September 30, 2021 by Sgt.

rct Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 No way. I just sent my Black Explorer to a Prince in Nigeria, he is going to send me the guitar back along with 3000 dollars next week. rct 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Carol B, I checked all the guitar shops and stores in the Denver area, and even perused Craigslist looking for a black Gibson Explorer (or similarly-shaped black guitar). Came up dry. Didn't have any luck at all. There are a number of bad-*** black guitars available though. Are you dead-set on the Explorer body shape?😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) It might be easier to buy an Epiphone Explorer for $599 and then sell it when you shoot is done. https://www.epiphone.com/Guitar/EPINIQ803/Explorer/Ebony Rather than try to get someone to lend you a 2k to 4k Gibson for $200.

Big Bill Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 It has to be Zig Zag Black specifically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 If she's going to treat it like a baby, does that mean she's gonna breast feed it and diaper it? And how easy is it curing ANY guitar of diaper rash? And where is she gonna find a pacifier small enough to fit in that jack input?

Carol B. Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Thanks for all of your responses--especially Whitefang--Obviously I am clueless about the guitar world!! I found a nice Stratosphere to rent from FrontRange Backline--I've been schooled--Thanks! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Well CAROL, being a life-long smart-azz, I couldn't resist. Hope you know I was just being facetious and meant no real offense, just havin' a bit o' fun. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Oh well heck, Carol B. I was just going to suggest that you pickup this BC Rich Mockingbird (in the Denver area) for a little over $200, and then flip it later on. It's not precisely an Explorer or Destroyer shape, but it's still pretty wicked. https://denver.craigslist.org/msg/d/denver-bc-rich-mockingbird-2015/7385621247.html Glad you found that Stratosphere nonetheless. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I'd like a Warlock if it had fret markers. Their current line doesn't. It's a travesty, I tell ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously someone here has good taste. And based on your work on your website - class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the compliment. I've owned a few Stratocasters but never a Stratosphere. I have an album by Tangerine Dream called Stratosphere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Back in the "day"( in this case late '60's) we just called 'em Fenders, since nobody in the current(at the time) rock world was playing any other Fender model. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
