Members GreatDane Posted June 11, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 this one came home with me about a year or so ago as i happened to be in a local music store for strings. it's a somewhat rare 2000 Standard that Gibson did in an assortment of limited colors. it's solid blue with some very subtle, small flakes mixed it to give it this crazy-cool depth without being very "bling". the back is a dark chocolate brown. the board is ebony, which i very much enjoy. very nice sounding and rather heavy (no chambering here). i am not really a blue guitar kind of guy, but this one is stunning (IMO).

Members GreatDane Posted June 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 13, 2010 i took this 2001 '68 Reissue Les Paul Custom in on a trade (for another custom, incidently). it has the fattest neck of any les paul i've ever played; fatter even than the '52 Reissue LP Goldtop. Remarkably, it's really nice playing on a neck that fat. bends are easy, and arpeggios are a breeze. best part is my hand never gets tired. anyway, it looks, sounds, and plays beautifully. it's heavy (~10 lbs), but no worries; that's what strap locks are for.

Members GreatDane Posted June 14, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 14, 2010 here's one i picked up back in 2004 or 2005 and sold just a couple years ago. it was a great guitar, but i was going through this kick where i had to sell off guitars that had been modded; this one had Seymour Duncan pickups and a semi-pro fret job. it also had one of the nicest plain tops i've seen in this finish. very nice guitar. i sometimes miss it.

Members GreatDane Posted June 15, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 15, 2010 i have only owned this 2001 R9 for about a month and a week, and i quite enjoy it. it's faded quite a bit in spots over the years, which i personally find pretty cool. it's in perfect shape otherwise.

Very nice - is that brazilian rosewood? is there much of a sound difference between that and the '04 which I assume is indian rosewood? One of my guitars has a brazilian rosewood board (I think) - but I don't really have anything to compare it to for sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my guitars has a brazilian rosewood board (I think) - but I don't really have anything to compare it to for sound. it is a Brazilian fretboard. they made a handful of BRW Reissues in 2001 and this is one of them. i don't hear a difference in terms of tone (subjective anyway, right?), but i find it more appealing to look at. the fact that it's BRW doesn't mean that much to me as a player, but the collector in me loves it.

Members GreatDane Posted June 17, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 i owned this 2001 gibson "working man" WM-45 acoustic for a while, but truthfully i could never get on with it, and reached for other acoustics consistently until the day i sold this. it went all the way to Australia, and the guy on the other end loves it. he did not, however, love the shipping cost.
