Return of the Gibbons shocker thread!

Fuuuuck I though these would have tanked in value, not skyrocketed. Still rather have the Hello Kitty Strat.

You going for the one on TM?

And a mad price listing for a Dusk Tiger does not define it's value.

The one I posted was from reverb… dude they do sell well. They’re probably pristine and never played, at least by a musician anyway

If I had one I certainly wouldn't play it. And not for reasons of preservation.

This headstock... it's a brand new 2022 guitar.

Where's that from?

Am I nitpicking, or is that pretty average finishing?

Nah that looks rubbish. And not just shop floor wear and tear.

When you're expected to pay $10k, that is definitely not nitpicking.
Eastman can do it properly for a quarter the price.

Yeah I'm surprised. I want to replace my R8 with a final keeper humbucker guitar, so I want something bucket list/special.

This is nice:

There's a McCarty Singlecut on TradeMe at the monent. 10 top, but the finish is a bit of an acquired taste.

Yeah but Billy Bob touched it with the same fingers he banged his cousin sister with…

Just the one I sold. That went to Wanaka.

Yeah that finish isn't for me.

An R8 is probably endgame for me. I'm a simple man.
