I like my guitars to be different I really don't understand the problem here Duane, you promised me the RR custom as soon as the new ones came out...hmmm maybe that was just a dream lol I do like the 71 Deluxe, I've never played one myself but they sure do look nice. Heard several on you tubre and sounded sweet. So why no Re issue in your collection? just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 El Bonus? Los gold top? What's with all the Mexican references? Is it a south-of-the-border Fender? I finally bought my new 2007 Deluxe because it was cheaper than any decent originals I could find. Always been curious to see how they would compare...

duane v Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Always been curious to see how they would compare Based on the newer Gibsons I own, I would state just as good, if not better. The necks and fretboards on the newer Gibby's always feel better to me. The two things that are keeping me from purchasing a newer deluxe is the lack of a ABR1 with nylon bushings, and the 71 pups. Otherwize I would purchase one identical to yours I know I'm going to refret the guitar, because the frets are the low wide type (or fretless wonder).... I call them the "bendless wonder" fret wire.... which I hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Pickups are cool, but I have nothing to compare them to - so I dunno. Considered installing a pair of early sixties P-90s for kicks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Holy crap guys have a heart! I can't aford another guitar right now, it's Christmas!! <ok... man those are lovely guitars, and I'm not a huge fan of Gold Tops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I hear ya Chan. Took me YEARS to warm up to Goldtops. It wasn't until I saw some live onstage (with the different-colored lights playing on them) that I finally got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 That's exceptionally clean Duane. That alone makes it rare for a 40 year old guitar. Care to discuss the area of the price? Still above a new one, even in this soft market, would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still above a new one, even in this soft market, would be my guess. And that's the other luring aspect of this particular Gibbby, is how clean it is. I appreciate players that make the effort in keeping thier instruments nice. The posted price is a shade under $6k.... I'm sure there is some wiggle room for negociations.... I know what I'm willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
