HeadCase Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 A '58 - red - w/ flames... I like it, but do they really need to way overprice everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolff Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I dunno Dave. Do guys our age really need flames on our guitars? I think you could spend your $ more wisely. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my 2 cents. Didn't say I was gonna buy it... I was just diggin it. If you look at the specs its a really nice guitar... Solid, no weight relief, long nech tenon.. Burst buckers 1 and 2...etc I'm pretty sure my next purchase will be the 59 anniversary whenever that come out..... and what do you mean a guy my age...??? WOW AM I LIKE AN OLD MAN OR SOMETHING???

Wolff Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Oh, I'm old too, I thought most regulars knew that. I'm just a few years behind Dave. I didn't mean to insult you! Sorry man. I edited my original post. Again, I apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 If I'm going to spend $5,000 on a flame maple top, I better not have paint covering up that maple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I really like the specs and the guitar overall. But I could do without the painted flames. I would prefer if it was just plain red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I think it's pretty cool if you do custom bikes or rods what's not to love I really like the heat treatment on the BB covers great detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry man. :D I edited my original post. Again, I apologize. [/quote'] No problem... I knew that. It was just kinda like when some kid called me sir for the first time... and that was years ago, many years ago... Just throws you for a loop. Music keeps me young anyway... :D Your edited post sounds much better though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight959 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The flames remind me of the Gibson Les Paul GT (Not the Gold top) they brought out a few years ago. I dont like that TRC either. Looks way to bling.. Love the sound of it though! Flight959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Paul Fanatic Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'd buy it. Simply for me being a hot rod freak, plus the way they achieved the scorched look on the pickups very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elessar820 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I love that guitar. It was pictured in the Gibson/Guitar Center calender and I think it's sweet. The pickup covers are awesome and the paint job is great. I really liked the Les Paul GT too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
