I can't get it, either...as I've got my '50's Tribute GT to pay for. But, someone should jump on that one...seemingly, anyway. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I know, it kills me but I don't need it at this time. Somebody will get a good deal. There was a brand new Fender HotRod Deluxe from a guy that has an endorsement for $350 OBO the other day, that is a killer price for one of those amps. Bad week to stop sniffing glue (Airplane reference), I mean buying gear.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre S Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I really want to get a Single Cut Les Paul Special in TV Yellow, or even the Double Cut but I can't find one with fingerboard binding. I found a Double cut with out fingerboard binding for like......1250 but the lack of fingerboard binding was bugging me.... They also had single cuts....but no binding and not in TV yellow... A TV Yellow Special Single Cut, with black P-90's and a multiply pickguard just looks so classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 1983 Gibson Spirit II, with two (or more) owners' worth of modifications. Prior it coming into my possession, it was stripped, spray-painted yellow, and re-routed for P-90s from it's original humbuckers. Another pot was also routed and drilled for. I returned some of its dignity by filling the extra space from the humbucker routes and spraying it with black nitro, as Gibson did nearly thirty years ago. I also replaced the Ping tuners with Gibson Deluxe. This was one of the last models made in Kalamazoo, but this one in particular is from Nashville. I'd like to find a matching Epiphone USA counterpart for it some day (all Epiphones were made in Kalamazoo, I've read). They also made the Gibson Special, which was an SG-shaped version of the Spirit. Most people just assume they're SG Specials, which makes them harder to pick out when being sold online. I'll be spraying a few more coats of clear on it someday, but money is stopping me right now. After that, I'll give it a new bridge and even pay for a pro setup. I'm considering having all of my guitars done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1960 Reissues have bound fretboards, and are available now, double- or single-cut. The Les Paul Junior wasn't bound, but the Special was.
