Gibson Grabber/Ripper/G-3 club

[Jaymi]

has anyone seen some of the more recent offerings? There is a G3 on the bay with a reglued/twisted neck....seems to be a trend

 

[Jaymi]

By the way, does anyone have a spare Grabber pickup they would be willing to part with so I can restore the one that I am getting?

I have an Epiphone Ripper RI.

got my g3 back about a year ago

only one i have seen in natural with an ebony fret board.
it was fretless when i first bought it, then fretted when i bought it back.
plays beautifully. lovely thin neck. hardly need to push down to play a note.

also got an epiphony ripper, which im not to impressed with. it sounds cool, looks cool. but plays awefully. i hate the fat neck.

I know it's an Epiphone and not a Gibson, but here is my Ripper. I absolutely love it! Can I get a number, please?

I just bagged a very modified Ripper from the 'bay and am looking forward to its arrival..I have to find pickups, pickguard and a wiring harness....

Someone on US Ebay was selling a parted out G3 the other day. Some might work for ya. I was thinking of some new parts for my '77 G3.
Can we get new parts anywhere? Don't matter to me if they're oem, as long as they look exact & work.

My G3 is getting to being my favourite bass lately. It's SO cool. Real responsive & does everything I want well.
It's got old Fender Tapewounds on it. Love them strings.

so the grabber is going back together
