|
Beautiful Faded Tobacco Sunburst Finish over a very
nice grained top, weighing in at a lightweight 8.62 pounds. This top

Very dark, close grained rosewood fingerboard. Very big
sounding guitar with great mid presence. Absolutely

wrapping my thumb over the neck.
Low neck set angle making for a low bridge height off

little relief and the guitar plays clean up and down the
neck.

wire, coarse knurled switch nut, single-slotted

New 2009 Gibson Flying V Custom, Classic White |
|
Awesome new 2009 Flying V Custom, weighing in at an
incredibly light 7.48 pounds!
We love these Flying V Customs and feel they are
easily the pinnacle of Gibson's V lineup. They are
exceedingly rare with new ones coming in only about
twice a year now.
The first one we had sold quickly to a local blues
player that fell in love with it at first sight; he was
floored by its tone and playability. This one is every
bit as good as the last one we had and is just a
stunningly beautiful example of the ultimate Flying V.
These guitars exude style and are serious tone
machines. They ring like a tuning fork and have loads of
punch, clarity and sustain. Only removed from box to
photograph and play test. Great feeling neck that is
about the size of a '58 reissue Les Paul. Tall, polished
frets combined with the smooth ebony fingerboard make
string bending a breeze.
Modeled after the original '58 Flying V as a
platform, this guitar features a solid mahogany body,
ebony fingerboard with block inlays, bound fingerboard,
bound body, split-diamond headstock inlay, Grover
tuners, gold hardware, string-through tailpiece, '57
Classic pickups, diamond shaped jack plate and ABR-1
bridge.
These guitars will not be around long - add one to
your collection while you can.

New 2009 Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus -
Desert Burst, 8.98 Pounds |
|
New Traditional Plus in Desert Burst finish. One of my
favorite finishes on the Traditionals, and these really
are great guitars! One of the nicest Traditional Pluses we have seen. Great
figuring and beautiful Desert Burst finish.
An exceptionally sweet guitar. Great
Nice dark fingerboard with great looking inlays. The
back may be one-piece (often times multiple
pieces on this model).
Great feeling neck, very comfortable to play. Not
too large, not too small! Plays and sounds fantastic with a lot of
punch. The '57 Classic and '57 Classic Plus pickups
really sound great in this guitar!
NOTE: This guitar arrived with a finish defect on
the face of the headstock around 3-4 of the tuner
shafts. It looks like some air may have gotten under the
clear coat while drying. This is visible in the pictures
and is pointed out in a close-up shot.

The dark back is absolutely beautiful and less common
than the natural color back. It is a very dark brown but
is still translucent - you can see the wood grain
through it. It is difficult to photograph, but you will
get a good idea from the pictures.
Dark, close grained rosewood fingerboard with some
red in it. Extremely resonant guitar both played acoustically
and plugged in.
Low neck set angle making for a low bridge height off
the body - perfect for great play. Neck is straight with

New 2009 Gibson Les Paul '58 VOS, Bourbon Burst,
8.98 Pounds |

Beautiful Bourbon Burst Finish over a

is similar to Faded Tobacco, but with more red hues
around the perimeter of the burst. My personal favorite
finish on a plaintop '58! This is one of the less
common finish colors Gibson applies, along with
Lemon Burst and Sunrise Teaburst. They only make
these in small batches on occasion, so here's your
chance to grab one before we don't see them again
for quite a while. Weighs 8.98 pounds.
Neck profile is perhaps slightly smaller than
average for the '58 Reissue model. It is quite comfortable
and easy to navigate for average hand sizes. I can
easily wrap my thumb around this neck. Well rounded
neck shoulders; they have really improved on the
'58 neck profile in 2009.
A great sounding guitar, it is very lively played
acoustically and has plenty of punch and clarity
plugged in.

of a '59 reissue neck (perhaps a tad larger). Well
rounded neck shoulders.

Flying V Custom, Gunmetal Gray, 7.32 pounds
Flying V fan? You know you want this one! These
really are the ultimate Flying V.
New 2009 Gibson
Flying V Custom in a beautiful Gunmetal Gray metallic finish.
This finish appears as a very dark charcoal gray, almost
black. It will appear as black in certain lighting. There
is a hint of metallic flake. It is almost impossible to
capture the stunning beauty of this finish with a camera
- it must be seen to be fully appreciated. I can't emphasize
this enough - this is an absolutely drop-dead gorgeous guitar.
Specs: unaged nickel hardware, '57 Classic pickups, Grover
tuners, ABR-1 bridge with no-wire (new for 2009), bound
body and neck, split-diamond headstock, ebony fingerboard,
block inlays, and fast, but not thin neck profile with nice
tall frets. Badass guitar.

New 2009 Les Paul
VOS 1958 Reissue, Faded Tobacco, 8.36 pounds.
Every
once in a while I come across a truly exceptional
piece, and this one is just that. It has by far the most
comfortable neck I've put my hand around on a '58; fantastic
profile that is not ridiculously clubby like in some prior
years, with nice rounded shoulders. The back is gorgeous
with real nice stain color (some used to almost have an
orange hue, this one is cherry). The top has some mild figuring
(flame) and excellent burst transition. And at 8.36 pounds,
won't break your back.
You want
a hand picked one? You want one that the dealer himself
wants to keep? Grab it before I get itchy (well, I do need
to pay taxes). Sounds great, plays great, looks great. What's
not to like?

with a camera - it must be seen to be fully appreciated.
I can't emphasize this enough - this is an absolutely drop-dead
gorgeous guitar. It features unaged nickel hardware.
This one weighs
7.76 pounds and is a joy to play with its fast neck and
ebony fingerboard. Plugged in for testing, the '57 Classic
pickups make this guitar sound amazing. A lot of punch and
dynamics that you'd expect from a great V. Tall, polished
frets combined with the smooth ebony fingerboard make string
bending a breeze.

Great new 2008 Les
Paul Traditional Plus
You asked for it—you
got it. Introducing the Les Paul Traditional from Gibson
USA. With all the fat, sweet, snarling Les Paul tone that
purists love, the Traditional plays, sounds, and weighs
like the Les Pauls today’s players grew up loving and lusting
after. Taking design and visual cues from the Les Pauls
of the ’80s and '90s, the Les Paul Traditional starts with
an un-chambered mahogany body with traditional weight-relief
holes for a beefy tone that maintains the resonance of modern
Les Pauls. Each Les Paul Traditional also comes with Gibson
USA’s standard black snakeskin case.
Nice dark fingerboard.
Plays and sounds fantastic with a lot of punch. The '57
Classic and '57 Classic Plus pickups really sound great
in this guitar!
Has what appears to
be a one-piece back which is somewhat rare for this model
as many are two-piece. 9.3 pounds.

2005 Gibson Flying
V in Natural Finish with Gold Hardware
Fantastic Natural finish 2005 Flying
V with Gold Hardware. This is a now discontinued finish;
new V's are only available in ebony, cherry and classic
white. Most of the natural finished Vs of this era had knobs
in a straight line, but this one has the traditional '67
layout, making it a bit of a rarity in this regard.
This has been my personal guitar
for some time and it plays remarkably well. I have it set
for low action and slight relief. There is no fret wear
up and down the neck. Nice straight neck and level frets
make for a very nice playing V. The neck on these guitars
is to die for - one of my favorite Gibson neck profiles.
It is not too thin, but not fat either - it plays very fast.
Lightweight and great to play standing
up. Unlimited upper fret access. Absolutely driving amplified
sound. The guitar is quite acoustically resonant and has
great tone through many tube amps I've run it through. The
stock ceramic 496R/500T humbuckers are quite powerful, but
articulate at the same time. They respond well to volume
roll-off.
The guitar is stock with the exception
of RS 500K pots and Russian tone caps. Very, very good sounding
V with no issues, no breaks and no repairs.
Cosmetics are easily 9/10 with no
significant dings or scratches. Extremely minor buckle mark
on the back which may not show in pics. One minor ding in
finish on one of the horns. Finish is unchecked and beautiful.
Very slight tarnishing on gold parts, typical of gold hardware,
but still very minor.
If you want a seriously great V
without issues, grab this one - it really is a great guitar!
Comes with
original white plush case.
