Rate the above...the Gibson Version!

Well, someone started a thread like this one on the epi forum...so I thought Id start one here as well...the thing goes like this: Someone posts a photo of his guitar, then another member rates the guitar and posts a photo of one of his guitars, and the next member to post rates the guitar and posts a photo of his as well...blablabla...

Rate the guitar over 10 (i.e 9/10, 10/10)

Ill start

Re: Rate the above...the Gibson Version!

Love Black Beauties Guido. Heck, you guys'll make me buy an Epi again. I read just today the Elitists are discontinued. I'd rate that my favorite EPI

b Squared, Silver and GOLD, what can go wrong there?
I love the open pickups. They make it look so cool.

The only think I like better on a GT is whan the entire guitar is gold like the CLASSIC I once had. But I'm sure it never sounded as awesome as yous no-doubt does.

Here's my entry, the ole' EE SG:

Gee, I dunno?

I'm seeing a little flame figure underneath that purple/rose stain.

Got any close~ups?

That could be an incredible candidate for a refinish!

Re: Rate the above...the Gibson Version!

Just keeping ya honest.

It's a real '67...I got it in 1978 when I was in High School, for $450. It's worth a minimum of 10X that now.

1976 LP Custom
