    I am suprised this little gem is still available.

     

    Woody I have a ton of dirt pedals, some sound like crap with certain guitars and amps (setups/configurations) while others sound perfect through the same setups & vise versa...it's pretty wierd.

     

    Anyway if I hadn't blown so much money on the great deals thread I would like to give that TECH-21 a whirl.

     

    Good luck.

  2. WTF is that? Educate my black ass

     

    Not much to tell, I got mine used around seven years ago at the list sale at GC on Halstead in Chicago $329...I can't bring myself to get rid of it, everytime I plug it in I say to myself, no {censored}in way am I ever selling this amp...I don't need a 50 watt amp, but it does have a 10 watt mode which sounds great as well...below is the only information I could find online.

  3. Any actual pics of yours? Mine is still on the way. I cancelled the GT with P90 that I posted earlier and went with this one instead. I was hoping it has the black pup rings as well.

     

    It's basicly what I posted, however, it seems a little more aged white (Not black rings or ebony neck) but very {censored}in cool...I've been busy playing this guitar, right out of the box and I'm in love...this very well could be the best playing and sounding guitar I ever owned...I'm pretty sure I will end up keeping the GT as well, it's at my work, I didn't go in today, so I will check it out tomorrow.

     

    Anyway this white one kicks-ass, plays great, great neck profile, sustains all day long, well balanced, not to heavy, better neck accesability and the pickups rule:thu:

  4. Every once and a while a hunch turns out to be right, I guess.
    :idea:
    Don't forget to try to get M123 to do a price match to make it $899, when they open this morning.


    I don't think the SDotD looks like that picture though. The pickup rings are black, the switch tip is white, it looks like an ebony board like the other Classic White LP's have and the description says it has a dark back. The pictures of the other colors on the MF website look like it is actually a black back. The white with light back does sort of look like an iced cookie. I think it needs that black back to make it pop.


    The DC Classic Exclusive on Gibson's website might be the one, but the MF site said their model is a limited-run. Your picture and the others on the Gibby site are supposed to be a "dark back". Wasn't that RD Standard that blew out a couple of weeks ago also listed as an Exclusive on the Gibson website?

    From the MF website:
    "The Les Paul Double Cutaway celebrates this popular model in a limited-edition guitar with special appointments. This limited run of Gibson Les Pauls is available in three finishes: ebony, bullion gold and classic white with a dark back and neck."


    Of course the pics on the MF website aren't even internally consistent. Look at the GT, one pic has a light back and aged switch tip, the other has a dark back and white one. Also, I think they are talking about Burstbucker Pro pickups, unless anyone else has actually heard of the "Rhythm Pro" pickup by Gibson.

     

    Got the white one, I am dissapointed that ist's not the one MF had listade w/ebony board and black pup rings, what I got was the guitar above from Gibson's site....hmm. It's st still pretty dam nice for $999...i will have to think about this. The GT I has shipped to my work.

    You can't beat this soldering station for $12!

     

    Thank you so much!

     

    Shipping cost me $11...but it's still not a bad deal, picked up some accessories as well.

     

    Good timing because I was going to buy another Home Depot or Ace Hardware piece of crap this weekend.

  6. I think the fretboard is Rosewood on this one. Ebony is blacker, and has a slicker feel to it. I'm not seeing that.




    I am gonna give it some time. I have 45 days. As a product it is gorgeous.

     

    I believe Gibson used Macassar ebony, it's a multicolored species of ebony from Indonesia.

     

    The MF LP Special has a ebony board, whereas the GC Special has a bound rosewood board and body belly cut.

  7. Well kids the Gibby Special I ordered last Friday was waiting for me at the door when I got home. I forgot it came in a HSC.


    1st impressions: Beautiful guitar - fit and finish are perfect. If this is 3 pieces of wood they did an excellent job matching. I plugged it in - warm and deep tones. It is a sustain monster. It is a small body, and is a bit small for my lap. My only complaint is that the stop tail seemed high and was getting in the way of the heel of my hand. I dropped it and am doing better in that regard. I also realized it has been a long time since I played an LP type. I have mainly been playing Strats, or other thinner body styles. The ergonomics seem a bit short for my hands. After I dropped the stop tail playing is a little easier - but still gets in the way a bit for my playing style. I'm gonna give it a few more days - I'm not 100% sure I will keep it - but I think the ergos are a personal thing, and others might not have this issue. Overall I think it is still a great bargain at $800 at MF.


    pics...Oh yeh - I got a tin of snarling dog picks too. FTW

     

    Too bad about the stop tail...I really like the flames! You may change your mind after playing it for a day or two.

     

    Good luck

  8. Picked up the Gibson LP Special Exclusive model with HSC in Alpine White from MF for $679 calling in using the VIP coupon. This guitar was selling for $!299 last week!

    $679! I think you are going to be very happy with this decision.

     

    Congrats!

     

    Be sure and post a NGD thread, I want to know your impressions.
