1993 Gretsch White Falcon II (model# 7954)

Used to be owned by Dolores Oriordon of The Cranberries.

This guitar was auctioned on Yahoo for a 9/11 fundraiser.

Long story short, leading the auction for two weeks, I lost in the extended time format rules of yahoo's auction.

Less than a year later the winner of this auction was selling off their collection and I got news of it via a (then)

large internet community of the band (Zombieguide.com forums). This guitar was delivered on my birthday shortly thereafter.

you're right; no logo. it's a parts-tele that i took as part of a trade. truthfully, i wasn't expecting much and thought i might even part it out when it arrived. well, i plugged it in and completely fell in love. this guitar is getting a lot of play time since it arrived. the neck is huge and feels great. my amp is loving these pickups as well. i imagine there's less than $800 in parts on this guitar, but it smokes most teles i've tried.

this is a 2007 Gibson Custom Shop 1960 Reissue Les Paul plain top (also called a "G0" since the plaintops were commissioned by Guitar Center; the "R0" version has a figured top like a R9). this is one of my favorite finishes on a plaintop, and the pics don't do it justice at all. it's got a thinner neck than a R9, but not as thin as Gibson's "60s" carve. it's still nice and full. the guitar sounds incredible, with great action (not too low and not too high) and intonates perfectly.

my other 2007 Gibson Les Paul G0 (plaintop '60 Reissue Custom Shop model). i top-wrapped this one just to try it out and ended up keeping it that way. this is an incredible sounding and playing instrument. when i saw it in the store, i didn't even plug it in. i just sat down in a quiet corner and played it acoustically. after just a few minutes i knew i'd buy it, but i ended up playing in that corner acoustically for just over an hour before i took it to the counter. oh, and it's also a one-piece top. i haven't seen many others like it.

here's some pics of a 2007 Gibson '58RI Les Paul that I traded off a couple years ago. it was even more attractive in person, and i will get another 'proper' lemon drop again in the future; the next one will hopefully be a R9 though with a really nice flamed maple top. for some unknown reason the last pic is probably one of my all-time favorites that i've taken.

Yep, such a great guitar. I picked mine up last night and couldn't put it down. It's the only Gibson I have left, but it's not going anywhere!

That's one stunning guitar! And being a huge Cranberries fan I must admit that I'm a bit jealous : )

2007 Gibson SG Silverburst GOTW limited edition. i bought this brand new from SweetWater and never played it. too bad, because i'm sure it was a killer guitar. got cash for it, but ultimately lost money. oh well...

here are some pictures of a 2008 Gibson Les Paul Custom that i owned only for a short time before trading off (for another LP Custom, ironically). despite it's short stay at my house, it was a great guitar. well built, with no flaws, and a wonderful tone in all pickup positions. an all-around great guitar that i hope the new owner is really enjoying.
