Tim Plains Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 OK, I'm not really a Nickelback fan. Anyways, I did a search on them and their guitarist has a LP gold top with only three volume/tone knobs and a switch where the missing knob would be. It's not a BFG, if it is, he's done a fair bit of work to it. You can see it fairly well around 30 - 35 seconds into the video. Any idea what this is...is it rare? I've never seen a GT like it before.
DoubleSixx Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Looks like it had a neck tone and it was removed and plugged. I'm guessing it's wired with a master volume and two tones. Maybe the guy use to play Strats ? I dunno, I'm probably wrong.
AS90 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I think its just a missing knob, its just the shaft of the tone pot.

Gibson CS Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 It looks like one of the knobs is missing. If you look close you can see the little pot knob. Nickleback is fine untill he starts to sing! I feel the same way about GNR. As soon as Axyl starts to sing with that nasely whine I tune out. Again, to fans of these groups...Its my opinion.
RIPRIDER Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 If you have the Dough...the Bodys down @ the Custom Shop can build you whatever you want, Dude... You can also buy some shady LP's on good olde eBay..
Aaresz Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 It's hard to tell, but doesn't it look like it has a headstock decall other than the Gibson script? Holly, Supreme?
cudamax2343 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 HERE YA GO. Sorry for the s--- photos, its the best it going to get off my computer screen. I'd say it's a gold top with a knob gone.
Tim Plains Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 Yeah, youtube videos aren't the best quality. Aaresz, it is a Gibby. There's another video of the same concert and you can see the Gibson on the headstock. That was the first thing I did...check other videos to see if I could find the headstock.

I agree it is a Gibson, I meant to say that in addition to the Gibson script there looks to be something else more defined than the regular Les Paul signature. Possibly a supreme, or custom.
cudamax2343 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 That goldtop does just have a missing know right.
flyingarmadillo Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 After doing a little net surfing I didn't find anything definative, but he's modded all his other guitars. Based on that I'd guess master tone, two volume and a coil tap switch.
