The truss rod cover with Gene on it is expensive and no doubt adds to the tone. Wonder what if you cost if you just wanted one with Fred on it?
Yes. Those seem nice. I could kick myself for not buying one when they were discounted. The pickup may be a little too far north for my tastes, but I love the concept.
Had a great rehearsal last night, our original guitarist has rejoined the band and everything just jelled really well, instead of dreading our very big Halloween show, we are now all super excited to hit it. I cautioned our singer about bumping into me and used the '64 with the Trace Elliott - All I can say is, Damn! Its just so good!
The only downside will be giving our (now former) guitar player the news that they're no longer in the band........
I really want one of those myself
It might be a good size, but that headstock wouldn't last 30 seconds.
ironically folks will spend that kind of money buying a vintage IV or NR (the ones they refuse to make) leaving the GS sitting unattended/unnoticed hanging off a hook on a wall in some store…They go out of their way to make that, but won’t do a faithful reproduction of A TBird IV or an old NR.
At least they didn't put the goofy graphic from Gene's Tbird on itThey go out of their way to make that, but won’t do a faithful reproduction of A TBird IV or an old NR.
Why does it have binding? Did Gene have binding put on his 1959 EBO? That's a lot of cake for a Les Paul tribute!
