Timmy87 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Shall do! Is the guitar heavy compared to the other studio models? //Timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hello! I assume it will be very light. Studios are chambered. I've received my 50's Tribute Gold Top on 27th of Dec, and it is extremely light compared to the old '92 black Studio I had. As far as amplifiers are concerned I would vote on a full-tube amp. I have four of them. Can't compare them to valve-state, or solid-state amps. Tube amps sound richer, they do not cut off the nice harmonics that build up the sound of a guitar. For home a 15 watt combo shall be enough, but if You want to use it for gigs, get something over 50 watts. A separate head and cabinet is always better than a combo.

Timmy87 Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Question 1. As i've seen the Silverburst is chambered, when im ordering the guitar, I thought I should buy straplocks to, Any suggestions, difference between schaller and dunlop? Is it hard to change straplocks? i've seen the toothpick advice. Will there be any problem with chambered guitars? Â Queston 2. What is good to polish the guitar with? As i've read you shouldn't put the guitar into a guitar stand beacuse of the finish, but what is the best to polish it with, Gibsons pump polish? I saw they have this 3 piece guitar care package, with gibson high gloss polish, fretboard cleaner, and string cleaner. Which is best to choose? //Timmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btoth76 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hello Timmy! I have no problems with my chambered LP. The only thing You'll notice it's light weight. Installing a straplock is easy, You will only need a screwdriver - a good idea indeed! It makes no difference whether You will install it on a solid or chambered guitar. I think Schaller has more historical connections with Gibson than Dunlop - just remember the machine heads used as replacement on many 70's LPs. The 3-piece care package sounds great, although I would recommend You to ask at the shop, what is the best cleaning compound for the finish of Your guitar.

btoth76 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I think it would be worth trying out some old-school, used amps too, if You have any pawnshops near. Just to feel the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's even higher than here in Hungary! But we have 25% VAT on all products!!! I bought mine for 1200 USD here. Well...maybe I will buy that GT hanging on the wall at my favorite shop and take it to Sweden with me, next time I visit Gothenburg. Sounds like a good deal!

Dr. Gonzo Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Like everything else these days, Ebony has grown more expensive, and more highly regulated. You'll probably see Gibson restricting it's good ebony to the higher cost instruments. I've always preferred rosewood fingerboards, especially the beautiful Brazilian rosewoods. I have a PRS Singlecut with the entire neck made out of one piece of Brazillian Rosewood, it is the best feeling neck I've ever played. I don't have any problem with Gibson using rosewood for alot of 'boards, unless they start dyeing the boards black to make them look like ebony! Then I'll cry 'Foul"!
