Vegas High Roller

[Vegas]

Greetings to all, new member here. I am a longtime Gibsonite who has owned many great Gibsons over my 53 years. I recently picked up a Vegas High Roller in Neon (purple burst?) finish. A very nice guitar, and it seems to be fairly rare as well. Does anyone know anything about these rare birds? All I found out was this one was made April 2006 in Nashville. Thanks for any help.

Limited edition model. Not many made. That's the best I can tell you. Not a regular production model.

Thanks, I was starting to feel like a guy who bought a split head Explorer in '63!

email customer service for a spec sheet. I think we should have one. It's Gibson USA...not Custom Shop.

I've never seen/played one in person, but I always thought they look kinda cool.

Thanks for all your help. I ended up passing on the High Roller, I guess the hollowbody sound wasnt for me. I am moving on to a 57 Goldtop reissue. Now that is a guitar!

Duuuuude, I have to have this guitar. Do you still own it. Where can I get it? When can I get it? How much do you want? It is for my son and he really needs it.

I have the Vegas High Roller in Felt Green with Gold Hardware. Won it at a battle of the bands from Gibson. I've kept it as a trophy, but never played it as I use a midi system. Still has the factory strings on it, and case still has plastic lock to keep combination at 0-0-0 until it's ready to be changed.

 

The Felt Green one is gorgeous... I've been toying with the idea of selling it, since I never play it. Just occasionally open the case and smile at it ..lol Don't know if you'd be interested in the green one. I attached a picture here.

Hmmm, looks a lot like the new Midtown Custom, with a different (bat-wing) headstock,

and (somewhat) less symmetric body.

 

Cool!

Hey Classic - Get some oil on that board. Nice Axe!!!

Nice transparent green and I like that rectangular case.

These are an entirely different beast then the Midtown model. No comparison. The Vegas High Roller was created from the ground floor up as a shredder guitar. It's an instrument of it's own.
