Re: Return of the Gibbons shocker thread!

The cool thing about buying old Gibson guitars is, they already made their margin, waaayyyy back. I’m waiting for them to announce you can only ever buy a lease to “own” a Gibson. And any future growth in the value of the asset is theirs to take their share from. "I can't sell you this guitar,...

At that price. I'd expect the fingers as well.
I can give you the fingers for free :P

Re: Guitar food groups and must try guitar sounds

Guitars are works of art that also make cool sounds. So they are better than paintings, sculptures etc. Nothing wrong with collecting them. Says the guy who can't play and is thinking about buying another one. Sigh. To be fair though, its easier to ignore a painting if you don’t like it. :P :lol: A...

Re: Guitar food groups and must try guitar sounds

there's nothing wrong with not collecting them all. It's true, guitars are not Pokemon! But I am predisposed to want one of everything. When they brought out the Brian Setzer Hot Rod Gretsch models in a bunch of cool colours, were I a wealthy man I probably would have bought one in every colour. An...

Re: The Gibson Les Paul Model thread

Well, Dave is 55 and Pat is 64. I haven't seen many (if any) players under 30 playing Gibsons into Marshalls these past few years. Maybe it doesn't hold the appeal it once did. That’s the thing, it wasn’t just over 40s at the concert. Heaps of teens and even my 11 year old son (who hadn’t even hear...
