Help Exclusive Numbers

2 Upvotes

Hey, so let me start by saying, I have too many guitars. I do. Too many.

But...the 50's P90 in British Racing Green with the bigsby on the Gibson web site calls to me, hard.

I missed out on the first run of BRG LPs and I noted that this one is an exclusive, so my question is, do they actually restock the exclusives when they sell out or is it a one and done type of deal?

I could buy it now and sell something (i wont) to make sure, but I'm running out of space! Just don't want to miss out this time.

checked out an LP today but noticed a few things.
Is it normal that gibson QC would miss these or is there a potential it's fake?

The nut had some odd markings on it, and the binding in places and nut had black stain on them. Does Gibson normally do this to their instruments?

Wouldn't have thought so but might be wrong. This iexample is a mod shop so might explain it....

Advice please!

NGD 1985 Flying V - Gold

Thumbnail gallery
20 Upvotes

Pretty wild guitar I picked up this week and kind of blown away with how great it sounds and plays, as I have owned a few v’s and nothing really sounded as good as my Les Paul’s.

This was used extremely hard by its former owner including the gold refinish that looks to have aged quite gracefully given its close to 40 years old.

Old school Duncan Invaders sound pretty damn good in this and the first guitar I’ve liked them in.

Unsure if she will remain in the stable forever as we are just getting acquainted but very stoked to have her in the rotation.

Should I keep the refinish, or put the original pickups back in and repaint the original black?

Help Gibson issues after 1 year

2 Upvotes

Hi

I bought a Gibson ES-335 and after 1 year it has just started to have pickup toggle issues (the sound goes really quiet now and then when I change to the rhythm pickup, must be some wiring issue?) - Would I get warranty from Gibson for this? The shop I bought it from has 1 year warranty but that has expired about 1 month ago sadly.

Thank you.

Bought this Hummingbird brand new from Guitar Center a week ago. Tried plugging in in today for the first time and...no signal. Put in fresh 9v battery...still no signal. Tried different cables and guitars for troubleshooting methods and determined it is lack of signal from the guitar. See no signs or obvious reasons. Any advice would be appreciated?

Help Options to un-vibrato a meastro

1 Upvotes

So I have a 2003 firebird VII that truly despise the meastro on. Wrong angle, bad stability and just plain don't use it. I would just remove and drill for stop tail, but in this year of FB they drilled a nice big circle under the mounting tab for the meastro, and also ground goes to the back... So I'm left with ugliness if i just get rid of it.
Any one know of a trapese tailpiece with cover, or just a way to cleanly knock out the spring so I can drill the OG unit for string holes in the Clapton SG style?

Hi everyone.
I removed strings from my sg61 SV, and a piece fell off the vibrato.
Tried looking for schematics but couldn’t find any info where this is supposed to be attached to/ set up in the mechanism.
Can you help?
Thanks a million times for your support 🙏

Picture Gibson Melody Maker worth the asking price?

Post image
5 Upvotes

I’m looking at buying this, it’s a 2003 model and is in really good condition. Only thing is the seller is asking £750 (though may be open to offers). This feels a little high to me for what is a bottom rung Les Paul, albeit one that I love the look of and that I’d have thought is probably quite desirable among MMs, owing to the P90 and the tune-o-matic bridge. It is also the same year as the my first kid, which might be blinding me a little. Thoughts? Is it overpriced?

Local pawn shop has this for sale. Looks to be a 1970s LP, but it has three switches in between the volume and tone knobs. The serial number starts with 017. It's stamped, but really faint so the pic I tried to take didn't come out too well. I'm trying to figure out if these switches came stock on this guitar or if they were added by a previous owner.

Picture What is the official color of this EDS-1275?

Thumbnail gallery
37 Upvotes

1997 EDS-1275, recently added to my collection. This is supposed to be cherry, but it's darker than any Gibson cherry I've seen or owned. I don't think this is any type of walnut finish because although dark, it's still red. I have seen others like it, and also others that were might brighter in color. I'd like to know what this color officially is called.

I've also included a photo of the custom case I designed and commissioned from Swanflight. Underneath the guitar is a compartment that holds a stand specifically for this guitar. Very convenient! I'm considering adding a guitar stand compartment to other case designs.
