lpfan Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 So I had somebody offer me this Gibson double cut lp for my casino: I just thought the upper horn looked different from lower horn. Are they supposed to be like this? I thought they were supposed to be the same. They also said they had an MXR 10 band eq to throw in with it. They said the lp had a few knicks and dings. Should I or shouldn't I? Does anyone know anything else about these lp's? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpfan Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Well I just did some research and realized that the horns are correct on this guitar. So thats good but I haven't found anything about the faded color yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpfan Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 As always Jerry you are the man. Is there any guitar you don't know about? I think I'm gonna make the deal but I'm waiting too hear from the guy to see when we can trade. I also have not touched it so I hope its not dinged up to bad.

stumblinman Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 LP DC with P-90's is at the top of my wish list right now. That's a sweet guitar there. I really like the fretboard inlays too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't take too much credit' date=' it was the trapezoidal fret markers that peaked my interest. It made it pretty easy to find, about 5 minutes on the Google. Here's one on eBay. Good Luck!!!

midiman56 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I REALLY like the looks of that one, Robert ... plus what I read in Jerry's post. Sounds like a winner to me as long as it's in one piece! Good luck! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that was just something Gibson did to the Specials only? I'm not 100% sure on that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoop Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Now I think you are crazy. Why you would want to trade your Casino for that is beyond me. But hey, not my decision, and I am somewhat biased towards Casinos after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey' date=' not my decision, and I am somewhat biased towards Casinos after all![/quote'] I probably am crazy since I just got it back but these double cut lp's are alot harder to find then the Casino is. I'm sure I'll get another casino some day. Who knows, maybe I will end up with this casino again for the third time. If that happens I promise I will keep it.

SketchyEtchy Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 It was your destininy all along to recieve that double cut Never in a million years would of thought trading your casino (and others) for the Tele' then never thought of buying it back, but then never thought youd trade her for a Gibby. Or it could be none of the above, and that you were lucky. Either way your getting a nice Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexygibson Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I think you would be coming out on top of that deal. I would take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I have to admit that I get terribly confused by some of Gibson's branding, or model names. To me, a Les Paul Special has always been a P90 powered Guitar, Flat Topped and featuring a Wrap Over Bridge. But then lpfan shows us his Special which is very clearly something else again. I am wondering whether this is in fact a Les Paul Special "Lite"? Anyway, I digress, I had a guitar very similar to the one you have been offered in Trade and would have no hesitation in recommending it if you are looking for something slightly differently voiced to the Casino. Do be aware though, this guitar will sound slightly different because it has P100s which are the Hum cancelling take on a P90. Whilst good in their own right, they are differently voiced to a P90, close? Yes, but they don't have quite the sizzle that a real P90 has. The guitar became my workhorse for quite a while, used for gigs in venues that we had not played before, simply because it would not have been too much of a financial hit if somebody stole it when compared to say, my more often used Firebird 111.

wardog Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 go for it. like u said, you can find another casino easier than a Gibby dc lp. Although i find you recent guitar acquisition plan alittle hair raising. DON'T GET RID OF THE SG, THAT IS YOUR DAUGHTERS!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matiac Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Mini traps AND blocks were on some SGs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i find you recent guitar acquisition plan alittle hair raising. DON'T GET RID OF THE SG, THAT IS YOUR DAUGHTERS!!!!!! [/quote'] Which plan are you talking about? I already went back and got the sg if thats what you were talking about. Oh and that was not the sg I traded when I went back and got the casino. I originally traded the sg 400 on the 52 reissue tele deal along with the casino and a setneck lp jr. I went back and bought the sg 400 for $150. Then after that I bought another SG but it was a bolt on neck SG Jr. I traded the SG Jr., fender champ 600 amp, and a fender cd-6 acoustic for the casino. So I still have the SG my 2 year old likes. I don't know if that clears anything up for you or not. I'm not really sure which dea you were talking about. Now I am trading thecasino for a Gibby LP double cut. Rock on! Yeah! LOL!

lpfan Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Well, I'm staying up late doing homework but I can't wait until 10:30am. Thats when she's gonna be mine. Let the countdown begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Arcadius Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 As said before, a P-90 equipped solid body light guitar is on the top-5 of my wish list! The Casino is great to look at, more than that DC, but the sound of P-90s will be sweeeet...! It's up to what you want more, but since you asked, I would jump on that deal! Good luck with that!

lpfan Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Well I made he deal. Got the double cut lp and the mxr 10 band eq pedal for my casino. He wasn't lying about it having a few dings. I'll post pics later tonight in a new thread. I'm either gonna leave it as it is or it may be a candidate for a refinish in "cinnamon red" just like CB's double cut that I have been drooling over since the first time I saw it.
