Members xtchc1978 Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 Buy another one, lots of good deals out there right now. Why did you sell those nice guitars, looked like you had a good balance going there? I have one of those silver rg 570's aanj like that, great player.

Members Alchemist Posted November 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 the necks were ultimately too chunky for my tastes, and I have other nice guitars I bought since...... just in the mood for a set neck mahogany bodied guitar with humbuckers.....

Members Mr_GoodBomb Posted November 10, 2007 Members Share Posted November 10, 2007 I sold all my Gibsons (Faded V, V-90, and a US Standard Explorer) when Gibson started sueing anyone and everyone (from Rondo to PRS). I bought a Rickenbacker to fill that high-end US solidbody niche. The Rick isn't going anywhere, but I'd like another Explorer or maybe a Melody Maker, or my pipe dream guitar, a Les Paul Classic.

They do have a great selection of explorers out now, I may have to consider one of those. I'd also like a PRS...... I guess it just never ends. I'll probably hit up the stores within the next few weeks to see if anything really grabs me, if not, well thats alright, I got enough guitars to hold me over I suppose..

Members genesis3 Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 Best purchase I'll probably ever make! In addition to being a great guitar, it's such an icon... adds that extra bit of cool....even the headstock is leaps and bounds cooler than the knockoffs!

Hey, if you ever want the Artstar back, let me know. I mean if you REALLY want it back... not that I have any plans to try and get rid of it If a "real" gibson neck is too chunky for you, why not get a custom made to your specs? I know a guy who can do it for you.. AJC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJC no no, the artstar and I had parted ways, it was a fantastic guitar, and I'm happy it has a good home..... as far as knowing a guy who may build me one..... well I may just take him up on that next year or so......

Members Alchemist Posted November 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 Why did you get rid of the Les Paul Studio? wasnt playing it that much anymore, even though it was a fantastic guitar, as good as anything I have played really..... I was able to sell it for $1000 Canadian, thats like $1080 USD now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dewees Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 My 335 is still my favorite guitar. I keep trying other guitars but I always come back to my 335. I'm approaching the point where I really just want to get a couple more early 80s 335s- They'd all have different pickups, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MikeStatic Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 I think some penicillin will cure that... If you are going LP, the classic has a pretty slim neck profile. At least mine does, it isn't one of those baseball-bat 50's necks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bigconig Posted November 11, 2007 Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 Where in Canada are you? If you're near the Western NY border it would be worth a trip down to Rochester to hit the House of Guitars. They have so many nice Gibsons and they Kill MF/GC prices. you could probably get a killer deal, especially with the current exchange rate. . .

Members Alchemist Posted November 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 11, 2007 I understand you! I'm gassing for this one: It was a nice guitar when I had it, but the neck was a monster, 50's profile baseball bat... I really couldnt get comfortable with it for anything other than jazz chording..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
