Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
Saw this Gibson LP on Custom on TM. It's pretty horrible. Only $9K.
Beats me why someone would ever pay more than $2.5k for it. Any anyone who is feeling like challenging me with usual line "the market will decide and value is only what someone is willing to pay for it" can lick my sweaty balls.

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

I got to say, fugly aside, I like the idea of a maple board on a Les Paul.

personally I would rock that LP for the right price...just needs the headstock done in the same colour though

Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
It's a cool colour (even though I've no idea what it is), but the maple is a bit weird, and the black pickup rings look a little out of place.
Would not hoon for 9g.

Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
A maple necked LP would be cool! Looks like they kind of half-arsed on that one though. Needs the headstock matching, and yeah, black pickup surrounds look wrong.
