thats a Sweet LP!...what i'd give to play that...Great playing!

[Tonetwisters]

Son! Front PUP clean just kills all that buzz racket! What sweet, jazzy tones! Great playing, too. Wish those '59s didn't have such a horse's leg for a neck! This is one great guitar, otherwise. :)

I wonder who has that exact Louis guitar, cause i want it? What serial # was that one?

strange how the lacquer cracks only on the top not the back

Lets not give Gibson that much credit, We both know these guitar are not spec to the originals so lets not lead those out of the loop wrongly!!

the only thing they don't reproduce is... Lo and behold: the pickups. ups. one of the most important things but nvm...

[TheRicokilla]

No bro. Gibson made these collectors customs only because they are greedy. They put terrible sounding pickups into the standards and others. And left the real good ones in the collection series. Additionally, the cc guitars are painted to look seasoned that gives it that vintage look. But the real secret to its recipe are those custombuckers. Damn Gibson!

Gibson doesn't do anything accept make it look similar and mark it up $5000 more than a typical standard. I'm a Gibson collector, but they don't do any of that "digital scanning" and "sound test" crap.
