Nice pix, Bobbo. Beautiful guitar

That's a beautiful guitar, though some of those dings would have killed me if I received them on my R8

One question: the knobs are amber, right? Are they Gibson stocks or another brand?
Let me explain my doubt... the amber knobs i use to see are more red... and the ones in your guitar aren't red, but aren't gold.

The knobs are from Historic Makeovers .. Vintage Clone .. Nobody makes knobs that look closer to real 50's vintage stuff than them !! Has the greening underneath etc ...

No sybil came in one of those black custom shop cases ! It's probably a better case for protecting the guitar ! But I wanted the vintage correct Lifton style case !!

Flick has the right idea, just show the guitar and nothing else in the room, dont give anyone any fodder to rag on you about..lol

FUS44 · 02-02-2008, 10:08 AM

I've seen lots of shots of your guitar now. It looks like the finish is slowly dulling and obviously your guitar(like all off us) is getting more blemishes with age. Looks like there's some fade going on too, especially the neck. Nice.

Here's a good pic of the fading on the back of the neck ... It's most noticable from the headstock joint to about the 7th fret ! My favorite chording area !

I think you may have something there FLICK.

Gotta be a lot cheaper than Murphy. Think of all the greasepaint BOBBO can buy with the money he saved.

Seriously BOBBO...she is beauty.

Seymour Duncans · 02-02-2008, 03:38 PM
