Bender 4 Life Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Kind of nice, ...........BUT, the ad shows it being built on a Flametop, which 98% of real (and 100 % of reissue) '58s were NOT. Plain was the game until latelatelate '58.......so why not build then from plaintops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender 4 Life Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 TYVM, It has a serious case of bridge rattle right now, that i've got to dig into, without replacing any major parts. The HotRod is very impressive, and no doubt will sell quite a few of............I just hope they're not rediculously overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLesPaul2006 Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 I LOVE those pickups! They just look so cool. Yeah i like them also. Bare Knuckle pickups in the UK have a set with a toasted nickel cover that is like that and are sweet. i GAS for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyushPresley Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Looks amazing and after what Gibson and Epiphone have been producing this one is much much better..that's what they should do stick to the basics and don't go too fancy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
