MikeRom Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Two things happened this weekend, I cleaned my ax AND we got a new camera. I don't know how to work all it's bells and whistles yet so I just took these in auto mode. Used Virtuoso cleaner on the body, Gibsons fretboard conditioner on the fretboard and a metal cleaner on the hardware.
daveinspain Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Hey cleans up real nice... :-) So every time you get a new camera the guitar gets polished???
Flight959 Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Guitarslinger, Very nice indeed. Are the faded's rough to the touch? Yours looks smooth...seen some rough looking finishes. Getting my guitar out is an excuse to clean it.. Flight959
deepblue Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Beautiful shots....crystal clear. How many Megapixel is the camera?
TrueTone911 Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Great color, nice flame. Learning how to use these new cameras can be as tough as learning a new song. Don
ChanMan Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Beautiful guitar... love the Virtuoso shine!
MikeRom Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks guys! Daveinspain: No, it doesn't only get cleaned when we get a new camera lol! But that's the beauty of the faded's, clean it or don't clean it, it generally looks about the same. Flight959: Very smooth finish, no rough spots. Deepblue: 10 mega pixels. It's A Nikon D60. See that little bare patch just above the pick guard? That's where I anchor my pinky for doing palm mutes and stuff.
dcooper830 Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 That is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the Standard Fadeds! Thanks for posting that! : )

fingers galore Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Damn! That is a real beauty. Sweet.
Les Paul Fanatic Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Nice guitar, and is it just me or does it seem to be floating in the second one... Just thought I'd ask. Cause it sure does look like it.
nolongermike@gibson Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 That's an awesome looker. I was years away from coming back to Gibson when they introduced the faded concept. I think its awesome. It really works on the flame tops. That thing ranks with some of the LP Classic Plus and Premium Plus models I saw in the mid-90's
Thundergod Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Thanks guitarslinger... already in my computer's background! Hey fanatic... I was gonna say the same... she looks like she is floating...maybe that pic will give gibson the idea for their next robot guitar: hoovering robot guitar... no need for tuning or a stand!

Cause it sure does look like it.[/quote'] I guess thats how you know that they've taken this weight relieving business a little too far ...
stymye Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 one just popped up on our cragslist yesterday ...wish I could afford one, or anything for that matter:-({|= http://nashville.craigslist.org/msg/859907387.html
MikeRom Posted September 30, 2008 Author Posted September 30, 2008 I wouldn't pay that much for it. I got mine brand spankin' new for $1600.
Murph Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Man, that is a nice guitar. $1600 makes it even nicer. I'm considering an '08 Standard for my daughters Birthday present, because it's chambered and she's young, but that is a true beauty. Best of luck. Murph.
SRV-Zeppelin Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 The beauty of this guitar has obviously elevated guitarslinger's playing abilities exponentially, therefore granting him the superhuman power of levitation... I suppose that would make playing with your teeth easier?
GuitarJunkie Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Nice guitar' date=' and is it just me or does it seem to be floating in the second one... Just thought I'd ask. Cause it sure does look like it.[/quote']Now this one is floating...
