I am so excited about finding this website. This is my second new post.
I use to have a Clapton Strat and I like the Eric Johnston Strat, but nothing compares to a Gibson guitar.
My first Gibson was a 2006 50's-neck Ebony Les Paul.
My current guitars is a B.B.King Lucille and a '58 VOS Reissue (Plaintop) Washed Cherry.
I have larger than normal hands, so I need/want the thicker necks.
The 50's neck was nice, but the even thicker '58 VOS neck is better.
Even though the '59 Reissue has a slightly smaller neck than my '58 VOS, I really like the "Flame Tops" of the '59 Reissues.
I have some questions about '59 Reissues and need some advise:
- what is the difference between the '59 VOS & '59 Gloss? (aged & non-aged?).
- what are the main differences in the Flame Tops (wood designs). What is the best to get?
- is it true that the Reissue '59 do not have larges frets than the Reissue '58, even though the Original '59 did have larger frets than the Original '58?
- Will the Washed Cherry (Sunburst), hold it's value more than the other colors (Iced Tea, Bourbon, etc.)
- why is the '58 Reissue so much more $$$ than the '58 Reissue? Is it because the original '59 was considered the best
- any other advise or info on the '58 vs. '59 Reissues would be greatly appreciated.
