1961 Special - Double Cut CHERRY!!

I dont think I have ever seen one of these before. I know they did the Junior double-cut in Cherry and the Special double-cut in TV Yellow - but I have not seen a double-cut special in cherry before.

 

I am now going to go back and try to trace one of the late model faded double-cuts in cherry and buy the bugger. - given it is actually a close copy, albeit lacking the gloss finish.

 

I cant afford the $18K for the '61:

But I would not mind forking out for the recent faded equivalent:

It is discontinued, but I am having one shipped down from Brisbane to try out. It will become my knockabout if I buy it.

 

I am not suggesting they are equivalent, but I really wanted a cherry Jr double -cut, but I am not prepared to pay for a Custom shop. And in any case, Gibson dont make em - only TV Yellow
