The temptation for me would to refinish the thing in some wild-ass 80s geometric pattern. Like a Cosby sweater! This is what I've been considering doing. Seems like a nice upgrade. You gonna upgrade the saddles or the finish? Fabric finish with actual Cosby Sweater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members elvisart Posted April 6, 2010 Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 Just found this info on the interwebz - I bought this several years ago from a pawn shop. It came with a letter from Gibson saying what it is.I have since lost the letter from gibson but this is what I recall. 1989 Gibson Melody Maker2 Bill Laurence pickupsCelebrity series pick guardKahler Flyer tremloDeluxe String LockExplorer neckGrover tunersSerial # 81239724 as far as I can tell. The paint is so thick on the back of the neck it is hard to make it out.The letter said it was made at the end of the year with extra parts in the factory. They called it a build out. 4 were made, 2 were scrapped out so only 2 made it out the door. Its a sweet playing guitar but with one downfall. It fell over in a guitar stand several years ago and cracked where the headstock meets the neck. I had it repaired but you can still see the crack on the paint.I'm a player and not a collector but I try not to play it out on gigs much.I suppose I should trade it off for a player.Just wanted to share it with other Gibson lovers.If you know anything else about it please let me know.

Members ashasha Posted April 7, 2010 Members Share Posted April 7, 2010 WTF is going on with that thing? It's like a FrankenMaker or something. Very cool looking. Looks like something you'd just play the crap out of and never get tired of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Norcal_GIT_r Posted April 7, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 7, 2010 awsome... HNGD Bryan... i love your Pure 90's period;) Thanks Damon. I did a full head to toe setup and I locked down the trem and removed the locking nut and now the tuning is rock solid and the tone is even better without the lockers.The feel is just awesome and the tone is on the modern side compared to my 59Ri MM.

Members vintage clubber Posted April 7, 2010 Members Share Posted April 7, 2010 He ordered his when there was 3 week wait. I know there's just not enough time in the day. how long ago did you only have a 3 week back log?? by the way, any plans for a BG version of a Filtertron in a standard HB mount??

It was last year. The closest would be the BG Bucker cleartops with dual poles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
