Members pluginbabies Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 Let me know what you all think. Thanks Nice guitar! But then I'm biased!I think i snapped up the last one in the UK last week - had to remove the funky shaped Epi pickguard and swapped out the amber knobs (why on earth they put them on i don't know), and pop on a white selector tip just because.I nearly wet myself when I called Dawsons and they said they had one, then they phoned me back after ordering to say the neck and headstock were somewhat seperate! Finally found one in Hollywood Music in Milton Keynes but had to wait over 2 bank holidays to finally pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuitarSlim101 Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 : That is awesome. I was wanting a Pelham Blue SG pretty bad when I was shopping for SGs a few years ago, and I love the way they look when they age, so I split the difference and picked up a 2001 SG Special with the Teal/Blue flip-flop finish. I've been very tempted to turn it into a Junior lately, though, and that picture above is certainly pointing me in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spike Li Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 Dave Grohl's favorite guitar was his red Gibson Trini Lopez but what he really wanted was one in Pelham Blue. He mentioned this in an interview in Guitar World and somebody read the interview and contacted him and sold him his dream guitar. He loved it so much, it's his signature model. I dig that story because it's about guitarists helping guitarists. And it involves Pelham Blue. Pictured above: Dave Grohl's DG335 Sweet, I knew about the guitar but not that story As for pron, this "Aged Pelham Blue" always gets a good reaction round here:It looks green because the clear coat is yellowed - the same way it makes white binding look yellow.

Members Alex_SF Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 Not exactly Pelham, but Reverend's "Metallic Blue" color is pretty nice too. Best I got to offer, in any event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice, got mine from Dawsons about a month ago, what were the knobs like to get off on yours?, mine seem almost glued on (i know there not) and i have some les paul black fast knobs to go on but the damn copper knobs won't come off. Any advise would be welcome. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advise would be welcome. thanks They were really tight!! I needed a lever to work them off (i used the case from a calculator, first thing i found in the drawer that did the job and wasn't metal) - gently lever to work it off whilst rotating the knob (so you don't bend the pot shaft) and then once you've got enough space to get your fingers under, you should be able to pull them off quite easily. Good call with the speed knobs, will make it look much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blind radish Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 This is a PERFECT guitar ... I was thinking something close to this, but with a TOM/Stop setup instead of the one piece: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted May 17, 2011 Members Share Posted May 17, 2011 This is a PERFECT guitar ... Yeah, it's pretty hotttt! I got this cheap S101 guitar used to use a testbed for an SG Jr I have... I still need to wet sand it and put it back together, but I kinda dig it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call with the speed knobs, will make it look much better. Thanks for the advise, but I went for the Cleaning Cloth method to remove the knobs, found it on YouTube. What you do is wrap the edge of cloth under the knob then twist the cloth together, hold the the whole cloth and pull up. worked perfectly. Search YouTube for "How to remove an electric guitar knob without pryin".Heres a updated pic' alt='>'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted October 22, 2011 Members Share Posted October 22, 2011 I'd be curious to see how this "Pelham Blue" Wilshire looks in the flesh. Can't usually get too good of an idea from these webshots. i.e. not very close to PB in natural light. a little bit closer in brighter light. Now Gibson has added some newer models that have recently shown up on the Sweetwater Gallery that seem to be spot on the color. Those 2 being reasonably priced, but if you've got around $4K to spend, they also now have this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
