Wolff Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I went with TG's axe mainly because of the Zebra pups and the tailpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom99SS Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Voted for GJ's faded. If I was buy one or the other it would be GJ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingers galore Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 The winner of your little spat should go up against Fingers Galore!! Flight959.. NICE faded LP `s guys. Both are stunning. I would be glad to go up against the winner. I doubt that the others will want another faded competition next though. Maybe the next competition should be customs. Or maybe an R9 showdown with Tim and Deepblue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I don't know...tough call. I'm gonna need some more time to think about it. Or, the first person to send me $10 gets my vote. I would be glad to go up against the winner. I doubt that the others will want another faded competition next though. Maybe the next competition should be customs. Or maybe an R9 showdown with Tim and Deepblue. I'm sure there are more members here with R9s besides blue and me. Retrosurfer has a stunning one-piece top R9. A Custom showdown, eh?

Tim Plains Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 No need to argue, fellas. We can always have ckledzepplin vs. surfpup, right? Wait a minute...is this round a fair fight? Hasn't Junkie virtuoso-ed his guitar? Sounds like we have a ringer here, boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a minute...[b']is this round a fair fight? [/b] Hasn't Junkie virtuoso-ed his guitar? Sounds like we have a ringer here, boys! Yes he has... and those pickup covers... OMG they look nice... and those markers... they look nice too... I think it is a little uneven and unfair as mine is still pretier than his... (his could use a little TP-6 to look more badass... and that's exactly what I like about this faded contest... both sport mods that "are Gibson"). I guess next up are Surfpup and ckledzepplin... for not modded standard fadeds... I would like to see a Canadian showdown... deepblue, Tim, Guitar Junkie and some others from up north... some of you even sport special reissues dont you? (...hm... maple syrup! ) Oh... my vote went for junkie... I'm looking forward to put some pickup covers and markers on my faded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarJunkie Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Damn i was the one who suggested faded match up in the first place Ooops... I just went back to the original thread and saw your challenge on page one. I only saw TG's post 4 days later looking for a combatant and I jumped in right away. We'll make sure zep gets his day in the ring. Yes he has... and those pickup covers... OMG they look nice... and those markers... they look nice too... I think it is a little uneven and unfair as mine is still pretier than his... (his could use a little TP-6 to look more badass... and that's exactly what I like about this faded contest... both sport mods that "are Gibson") And what the hell is all this talk about my markers?!? I didn't do anything to my markers. I did polish the finish, but I went out of my way to avoid ANY shots with reflections that might show the semi-gloss finish. The pick-up covers are an even match with the TP-6. I think they both look kick-***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossroadsnyc Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Guys, you both have really great looking guitars - this was a really difficult showdown to make a decision. I had to go w/TG because I think the faded looks better w/out covers on the pups. Tough choice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarJunkie Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 honeybursts all the way You seriously think I don't have one of those too?!? I just thought a honeyburst vs. honeyburst battle would be sort of boring. Kind of like "which Olsen twin is skankier?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadCase Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 GuitarJunkie... - points for shiny p/u covers. Thundergod .... + points for HoneyBurst & Zebras, plus it looks a little "skankier". My preference / my vote. Nice guitars gentlemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 You seriously think I don't have one of those too?!? I just thought a honeyburst vs. honeyburst battle would be sort of boring. Kind of like "which Olsen twin is skankier?". As always, you are damn right man... it would be harder to chose if both were "the same guitar"...

Thundergod Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 So... is this thread slowly FADING away? (pun intended) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Both guitars look great and it was really hard picking one over the other. In the end, the teardrop in this picture did it for me. Although the guitar is not perfect (needs a pickguard, damn it!), Junkie gets my vote. I'm a sucker for teardrops, what can I say.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
