clarkuss Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Woah... random. Like a Jack Cassidy Bass, Guitar! Not to my personal tastes but would be interesting to know what it's all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floydpink7 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Yep, just like the Bass. I don't know about walnut, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had one of them in ebony: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Les Paul Signature. I had one (Peerless 1998): They were modeled after the 1970s Gibson model with the same name, and had low impedance pickups. The previous owner had removed the low impedance pickups and replaced them with custom made Lollar P-90s. I believed they came in Gold and tobacco sunburst.

rockstar232007 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I never liked the look of the LP Signature, to me, it looks like a 335 on drugs. Plus, I don't like how Low Impedince P/Us look in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msak24cardss Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 No it was never modded or even produced for that matter. From what I heard it was hanging on the wall at a Namm show and the guy working the booth decided to sell it to somebody. Said it was an experiment gone wrong. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 It's a Les Paul Signature.

[/quote'] Peerless still sells their version under their name. I think they make the JC bass, too. Can't read anything but English, so don't know whether the one pictured on that website was new, or an older one. I'd surely like to take a look at a new one. That would be VERY tempting. Why'd you sell yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msak24cardss Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I think they are kind of cool looking. Jerry was the headstock as big as it looks? And was it a true archtop or flat? I always wanted a hollowbody LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I think they are kind of cool looking. ..Was it a true archtop or flat? I always wanted a hollowbody LP. The Gibson version' date=' which was made from 1973-1978, was semi hollow archtop, like the ES 335. The construction of the Jack Casady bass differs in that the top does not touch the center block. The big deal with the Les Paul Signature was that it had two sets of outputs, one each for the high and low impedance pick ups. "One for you, and one for the [recording'] engineer" the Gibson ads used to say. "Not intended for the beginner or occasional player." I never knew there was an Epi version, but I wondered when I saw the Peerless branded one. I'd love to see an Epi. Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larkin38 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I saw one once and liked the look of it. If there was a left handed model I might be tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] I am not 100% sure, but I think the guitar was pictured in the 1998 catalog, the one with the blond on the cover and turquise Casino. Would have to dig out my old catalogs to double check. I remember seeing one at the GC in Canton MI when I was living there. I never played it or checked it out. Only time I ever saw one and it was one of the gold ones.

msak24cardss Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I wonder if they were made in Japan? My bet is they came out of Korea in 1998 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
