Kuz Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 He shoots... HE SCORES!!!! Seriously beautiful guitar there Brent. Congrats on a project well done. Agree w/HFB - those knobs look killer on it... (althought I differ a bit in view of the wonderful sport of 'cycleing, but that's okay). Karma up, dude! Just need to retake your neon-guitar-face pic w/that guitar now! :laugh: And use your KISS army issued make-up before the shot! 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to retake your neon-guitar-face pic w/that guitar now! :laugh: thanks Randy! ;D we were at a place last night that had a b-ball game....when i saw "he shoots, he scores" made me laugh, lizzy wanted to play that game!! ;D the last time Deb did the makeup, it took her 2 hours just to do my face, then the clothes...do i still have the clothes??? do they fit??? ;D If your dumb ass get's back on a "murdercickle" I will buy two cases of oil and drive up there and hold you while your mother beats you.

shook494 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 That is simply a KILLER looker! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThroBak Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Very nice! Pete did a neck refinish for me that turned out perfect. He does great work and is very friendly. Heritage should absolutely do a Silverburts! That color is one of those that has a following. If that crowd found out Heritage made a Silverburst they would be snapped up very quickly.

romk Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 The guitar looks more bluesy on photo with the artist. I like it there. Actually I think that bulky stop bar makes it looking more heavy metal 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 http://orlando.craigslist.org/msg/899094846.html well, the back of it anyway.. how's the silverburst in your house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro-fusion Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Geez, only $3,300. Such a deal. A local dealer has a '70s Les Paul Artisan for $3,500. I just don't get these prices. I've wanted an Artisan for a long time, but I could get a one-of-a-kind custom job from some other builder for that kind of scratch. I understand paying the big bucks for a '50s or '60s Gibson, where the rarity becomes a factor. But Norlin was cranking out Gibbys like Chevrolets back in the '70s--the current prices are highly inflated, and I think subject to a big crash in the next few years.

It's for sale on TGP (no affiliation)http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e41/skydog653/sgincase.jpg[/img] its funny that you post that Skydog! i bought one of those when they came out....the neck pitch was so far off, i couldnt get the action to a comfortable level. thats the thing that gets me about the new Gibson...the quality is so hit and miss.... listen to this!!! my tech told me a fella brought a brand new 335 into him the other day...the guy said he could not get it intonated to save his life!! he measured from the nut to the bridge....it was 5/8 of an inch off!!! how did that leave the factory like that?????

Kuz Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Better question is how do good Gibbies leave the factor? On that 335 you are talking about, maybe the robots went on strike and their "luthers" had to do some other than just press a button! Kind of like when the news anchor lose their teleprompter, it's like a deer in headlights! Man, I love when that happens, the talking heads don't know what to do (you aren't so smart now, are ya!)
