Members docjeffrey Posted October 2, 2007 Members Share Posted October 2, 2007 That's a very nice 58. It looks like full gloss, no VOS? I really like the finish, and I have not seen many like it in a 58. Is it amber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aenemated Posted October 2, 2007 Members Share Posted October 2, 2007 haha the 1960A cab or the jubilee cab? on the 1960A is just a '96 standard honeyburst i rebuilt the electronics in after i got it for a total steal on ebay. nothin too special. also swapped out the speed knobs for top hats, cuz i like them better. on the jubliee is just a 06 standard plus (i think) in transparent black that caught my eye on my birthday last year. only seen that finish on classics, so when i saw a standard, i had to have it. my birthday's comin up again (30th no less) so i suspect the RI will be had around those days if some damned clients will hurry up and pay up. fwiw, that desertburst (second from left) is gone now. wasn't feelin it anymore. truth be told, i really play the slash and the goldtop way more than the others. that pic IS missin my 69 NOS strat and american deluxe tele though!

Members aenemated Posted October 2, 2007 Members Share Posted October 2, 2007 she's a good girl, kinda my beater in a way. i got it for so cheap. had half a {censored}ty EMG setup in it ... i guess the seller couldn't figure out how to do it himself and gave up after it made no sound whatsoever, as it did when i got it. who knows? but since i wanted something of a project in those days, i snagged it since i liked the finish so much, tore EVERYTHING out, got a new electronics setup from mojo and rewired the whole damn thing and dropped some SD alnico II pros in it after throwing them godawful EMGs far out into the desert. definitely a learning experience, and she turned out great. soooo ... dunno if i'll part with her, but i'll keep you in mind if i do!

Members Edward Posted October 2, 2007 Members Share Posted October 2, 2007 Nice. I much prefer a solid finish, but that amber is a nice colour and the woodgrain isn't intrusive (I've developed an irrational hatred of figured maple for whatever reason). I don't get why the 58 is so much cheaper than the 59... I guess the 59 brand has developed a whole brand image thing that some folks are simply prepared to pay way more for. A bit like how most signature models are priced over and above what the basic changes to the models they're based on should cost - all about the branding. I really[/]i like that black Custom with the p90s and the Bigsby - yummy. I'll never be able to justify the cost of a Gibson, but if I was gonig to spend the money, that's very close to what I'd be aiming for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
