Kuz Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 OK simple, be honest, answer the question: Is this a "Gibby Copy" or a "My Precious" guitar that was forged by hand from committed warriors at the bowels of Parsons St ? I have an opinion in mind, BUT I WANT TO HEAR YOURS AND WHY!!!! SO I ask again, "Gibby Copy" or "My Precious"? (Disclaimer... this pic sucks as I was on the clock from all the "We need pics" chanting coming the angry masses marching with lighted torches ready to remove me from HOC membership status. Everyone says their guitar looks better in person, but this one really does.) http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff205/jjkuz/MYPreciousjpg.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoslate Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Your Honor: Mr. Kuz is leading the witnesses. I move to strike the question on the grounds the photo renders the question irrelevant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Do you think their is a special ward for people obsessed with p-90s where they just stare aimlessly straight ahead and in a slow low tone chant "Lollars... Lollars... Lollars..." Oh yea, maybe that place is my basement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I don't know about that "committed warriors" thing ;D. But that is one gorgeous copy Heritage Guitar you have there! I'm surprised you didn't get trap-inlays. It certainly doesn't need them, tho' - thats for sure. This may seem silly, but I'd really like to see the back, too. The movement on the back of my 535 can give you the shivers extreme. Got me wondering what this bad boy would do. Congrats John. Beautiful hunk of wood and metal you got there.

The movement on the back of my 535 can give you the shivers extreme. Got me wondering what this bad boy would do. Congrats John. Beautiful hunk of wood and metal you got there. Thanks everyone for your kind words. I just took a quick pic to quiet the natives. I really need to take some of the back (extremely flamed) and the fretboard (almost looks Brazilian- you can kind of see this in "My Precious" pic). This guitar is by far the most flamed/qulited/premium topped Heritage I have ever seen. Why not Traps inlays... Two reasons 1. The run they are making is with 535s and the only thing I added was Premium wood package (plus requested Marv's Vintage Wine Burst) and I wanted #1 first made- I think this guitar is going to be a real classic and a hit. I won't take any credit for the idea but I believe some of you at the pilgrimage heard me ask Ren & Marv "Why not make a 535 with p-90s?". They kind of said "nice idea but we are making the 525". 2. If I wanted Trapazoid inlays then they base the price off of a 555 which is more money and I prefer rosewood over ebony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 That really is a beautiful looking guitar. G***** would be happy to copy something like that. :wink: Love that colour. There is nothing wrong with just sitting and staring at a mew guitar. I still do it with my old ones and theyve got nothing compared to this new one of yours We going to need a tone report though, so youre going to have to pick it up and play it at some stage.

The peace, harmony, and equilibrium is dictated by my used to be very patient wife! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 We need better pics. Looks great. Great figuring.Is that sunsetburst? That is Marv Lamb's new color creation that was previous only availabe for the 23 Anniv 535s. It's called Vintage Wine Burst and I begged and pleaded for it. I now think it is available as a color option on all their guitars, but don't hold me to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the most beautiful Heritage guitar (of any model) I have ever seen. And I am trying to think if there is any Guitar, of any brand, that is more beautiful. I think no. You really need to see it up close in person. And to have the first one ever made for production..... Oh, Oh,..... "Clean up on aisle 5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshmattyp Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 That is truly stunning. I wish the P90's had been available when I bought mine. Now I guess I'll just have to get another one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
