No idea how big that is but ...
1. Shes is beautiful.
2. Is it insured :P just kidding,

Shes the best looking lady i have ever seen, shes the one.

Boleskinehouse · 11-29-2008, 02:32 AM

My two favorite guitars ever. I've been playing Les Pauls since I was a wee lad, and these two are better than any of the hundreds of others that I've played. They are better than R8s, R9s, etc... IMHO, of course.

They started humping each other. I tried to stop it!

LongBeach · 11-29-2008, 02:48 AM

Brother man, it's so eligant, classic white with gold hardware.
IMO - put reflector's on it, and your 100%. That's one of the 2 things I
really love on my 68, Kidney's and refector tops.

Original or not, I dont care what shop your in, when you see those 2 combo's on a Custom, you know exactly what it is. 68

am I wrong?

I like the reflectors too, but I think I'll leave the Randy look alone on the white one.

By the way, it's 2008. I guess I'll consider them 40th anniversary '68s. Maybe it slipped Gibson's mind. They probably don't care.

LongBeach · 11-29-2008, 02:56 AM

Oh my goodness, you had to bring up the 2008 ordeal didnt you?
can you say: place a phone order????????????
And for the first time, I placed a pic of my dumb-ass on this forum.
hopefully, nobody recoginizes me!

Congrats bro, your one very lucky individual.

DRF · 11-29-2008, 04:25 AM

I'm tryin to upload a pic,not that it matters,they all look the same

It has the grover kidney's and the fattest neck I have ever seen on a guitar including the Jeff Beck strat. It is strangely comfortable though. Also has the old style CS decal on back of headstock.

I bought second hand and never got the fancy COA book and the case doesn't look original. Had been trying to sell her for 25-2600 Canadian but everytime I pick her up I realize its one of the best L.P's available. The only drawback playing these things is I am constantly scared of scraching it.

That's a beautiful color! IMO, they ARE the best Les Pauls Gibby makes! Don't ever get rid of it.

Boleskinehouse · 11-29-2008, 05:21 AM

I caught them doing it!!!

DRF · 11-29-2008, 05:35 AM

Ha! I thought they quit makin these. Apparently the reproduce on their own. Seriously though, does anyone have a estimate of how many have been made so far?.

I dunno how many have been made, but they do still make them. They're very limited runs per year. Black with nickel hardware is the most common(LongBeach is giving me his..

), The bursty figured top models are next, and Classic White is the rarest.

There's a Guitar Center exclusive with a thin '60s neck. There are usually one or two of those in every GC.

155 · 11-29-2008, 10:35 PM

bole wheres the other triburst? did you trade it for the white?

spacebubby · 11-29-2008, 10:37 PM

No, he said he "thought it was too ugly to be next to the beautiful ones."

I will not allow him to trade or sell any of the Gibsons (or anything else for that matter).

Boleskinehouse · 11-29-2008, 10:58 PM

Here ya go!

Tuxedo Kaz · 11-29-2008, 11:06 PM

You just need the black to complete ZA ULTIMATE COLLECTION.

I'm kind of untraditional though. Both my parents were into rock & roll...so I've always been around it.

Boleskinehouse · 11-30-2008, 04:58 PM

My '68s don't like your '68s.

Tuxedo Kaz · 11-30-2008, 04:59 PM

That explains it. My girlfriend's folks are pretty conventional, church-going people. But, I guess there's hope for them considering the let a low-life such as myself into their house.

They don't have to like you though. My grandparents don't care too much for Bole. But they're the more traditional ones...they didn't like my dad either (mom's parents).

Tell you what, when he doesnt look just take out the Explorer or the Strat or even better, the Black Norlin and send it to me. Do a favor to a poor guy from a poor country

spacebubby · 11-30-2008, 05:29 PM

You know I don't let Bole part with guitars Guido....otherwise I'd send you something.

At least an Xmas card and some strings?

hunstamash · 12-01-2008, 08:36 AM
