Re: Gibson USA factory tour
Ahhhh dang!!

I wasn't paying attention to this thread/link until just now...just saw that Enter to Win a Guitar of the Week for Les Paul Classic Antique before 04/05/2007 but oh well..that's okay...I just registered it while ago and will keep an eye on it so hopefully will win one someday~

Flick, great stuff and thanks for the link~

it was probably a left-handed guitar .. i don't know of many players these days who play the right-handed guitar inverted.. it's usually a lef-handed guitar.. it's possible though..

Thanks for the link Flick, they have hourly tours at the Memphis shop, I was really impressed, takes about 45mins, and cost 10.00

Just testing my Forum use. Last week I couldn't post a reply. Never got an authorization email.

Did this work?

Yes. That's Dan Seals, and he's playing the normally-strung right-handed guitar upside down, just like Albert King (and many others) did......skinny strings on top.

To me they should be free. I mean really, you want people to see them being made and create some hype and hope those people will go buy one right? Well when you charge 10 bucks to watch them make what they are trying to sell you it doesnt sit right with me. Are they gonna knock off the 10 spot I paid for the tour off the price, I think not
