Ahhhhhh..... good one!!The only Gibson I actually fancy looks like that, but that's better 'cause it's NOT Gibson!

Local to you, Jesper??

Yep. Local to me.

Here we go.













As stated as a general whole stock. I´ve replaced the machineheads as one of them was gone,and replaced with a tulip one (stockers are mushrooms).

Got a ding or two but plays like butter. Need to service the electronics of it and pull a fretjob.
Took a razorblade to the fretboard already last night,and it cleaned up as expected. What came out was the usual Mat standard.

Very light. Weighs in at a mere 3,2kg.

I wouldn't mind having one of these myself. She looks great!

I hear ya Jorg.
Truth be told after handing the axe some serious TLC today it turned out to be a real screamer together with that last GB amp i built!
For a combination the two of them!!

Anyhow..straightened out a few Q marks and the axe really came full circle. A mere 3,2kg worth.. IOW very light and extremely tonal. N Barry..yep. P90´s.
We´re on the same page there..

Very nice Jesper,

Super Cool, I'd have it in a flash.

Yup Trev.
That said,what strikes me is that they are as scarse as they are? Why?
`cause real good guitars..yep on that one too. As you play it you feel the entire axe go to work.

Boys.
I need your help/advice.
This axe is nothing short of great. Really. It is all in all a really good guitar,bar none.

So?

Well. Turns out that the wraparound has its little ridge,or whatever you wanna call it,set for what i gather is a wound G-string. In short as the rest of the strings now are within reason as far as intonation G is not.
Ergo,if i want to remedy this,and i do,a replacement bridge is in order. Locally,over here,there´s a fair share of wraparounds to be had..
What would be YOUR choice?

Don´t get me wrong,but within reason i couldn´t care less as far as cost. Main objective here is to make the axe in case into all it can be. I recap...this is from every other aspect there is one SERIOUS rocknroll machine..

Basass bridges in their own right,but things has certainly evolved since..
