18 strings, 2 plain tops and a flamed top

for the 150/LP devotees

Oh yes. That looks like a whole week of fun and gains.

Happy NGDs!

That Gibby on the right has a rather light-colored fretboard.  Gibson used to stain them darker, wonder if they stopped?

The one on the right is from a special run of '58 plain tops done for Eddie's Guitars in St. Louis. Several of the ones on Eddie's website have lighter FBs and some are darker. I liked the top on mine and it weighs 8 lbs. 4 oz. which is why I chose it. All things being equal, I probably would have had a slight preference for a darker FB. A non-issue for me.

Nice tripletts!

Good comparison of the cutaway horn on Heritage & Gibson, too
