I love the way the roasted maple neck (which an incredible birdseye piece) ties into the top. Our customer also requested "fat sausage" quilting, and I'd say he got it! Yessir!!
This one is headed to Singapore as we speak. It was a special order that we've been anxiously awaiting. Suhr Standard Chambered (Faded Trans Whale Blue)    |

Owner, Rocket Music | | Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Blacksburg, VA | | It's not very often that G&L makes an appearance in this thread, but the 2012 Special Collection that they've put together looks pretty sharp. The pickguard, in particular, really catches my eye. It's called NOS Baltic Amber, and I dig it. The instruments come with several other cool features, too, like the "nearly naked" thin skin finish. This one is a tele with a strat pickup configuration. G&L 2012 Special Collection ASAT Classic S   
There are three bass models: the M-2000, M-2500 and the JB. The JB is the only one with the pickguard, so it's my personal favorite from a visual perspective. These can still be ordered, I imagine through the end of 2012. |

The exposed wood looks great! Quote:

Except that it's not a bass.

This is an incredible isolation cabinet from Rivera. There's a Celestion G12T-75 speaker housed inside the sealed (but breathable) cabinet along with two mic goosenecks. Plug the guitar amp into the cabinet, put one or two of your favorite cab mics inside, then run mic cables to the board. Even with a guitar amp run wide open, most of the volume will be contained inside the cabinet. This lets you greatly minimize on-stage cross talk in a live or recording situation where there are lots of mics involved (the guitar won't bleed into the vocal mics, the drums won't bleed into the guitar mic, etc.).
Pretty darn cool! Rivera Silent Sister (G12T-75)  |

Check out the crazy face dots. It's a Koa center surrounded by Mother of Pearl and something black. Wow! Melancon Custom Artirst T (Koa)    |

Whatever money we can pull together is going elsewhere for the forseeable future... video production gear, Carr amps, possibly Anderson guitars, and certainly even more Suhr guitars, Roscoe basses and Mike Lull basses. |

Pics don't do it justice. It's a cool grey blue at some angles, then it's silver to white at others. It's got some crazy synthetic top that really, really dances in the light.  Gretsch G6129T Pro Sparkle Jet (Light Blue Pearl)   | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
