Funny thing is, when I finally buy a Guitar after all my looking & waiting inevitably one of the other Guitars that is on my List appears from nowhere!!! Of course I can't buy it as I just spent all my Money on the new one I just got (which was also on my list).. Why do they always have to pop up at the same time?? Or within a few days?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos if I had ordered that online without seeing it, I would be fairly disappointed by the actual state of it. As said. Its not that it was in terrible condition or anything but he has either air brushed the pictures or just taken it in a way to purposely leave out the dents and dings that were clearly visible to me.

I had exactly this when I bought my ES-139. Within a day of me receiving it there was another (sunburst) one on ebay for less than what I paid.....if I could have afforded it I would have bought that too!

And thats almost exactly what happened to me when I bought my 336... The first one I got was literally the last one in the country for sale at that time. And Gibson didnt have them down as a production model so I just had too.. THEN the P90 one came up.. It was nicer and cheaper and I could afford it.. I kinda had too 😄 But also with my recent experiences I know that at least the humbucker 336 is still worth at least what I paid for it. More in a private sale. And the P90 one cost me £2600 which was an absolute bargain. I still dont really understand why no one else bought it first. I mean.. Look at that 🙂 who wouldnt?

It just looks like it wants to be picked up and played. Looks like the inside is painted black. My 339 is too. Gibson don't always do that. Maybe its just on the thinner hollowbodies?

The orange sticker notwithstanding, I think its to ensure it looks right through the f hole. Whereas a deeper body would cast a natural shadow.

There are other less expensive Materials that can be used that can be shaped/molded cheaper & faster..

Regardless of that topic; its not a 'grain filling' paint. I don't what type it is, but it resembles what a water colour paint on wood looks like. The paint is absorbed and the wood surface looks the way it would uncoloured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t suppose Water color should affect the Sound… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsongs Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Some of my Electric Gibsons have the darker color inside the Bodies… I’ve never given much thought or attention to it before…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 My 339 is satin black, I think it would look odd if they didn't give the inside a quick spritz of black . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
