Jesus man, those look extra amazing

-Gibson needs to specify a pool in the background at all their dealers locations -it really ties the room together.

All guitars look better with a pool in the background. Search "Pool" on forum for discussions.

They somehow need to be holding drinks in their hands with sunglasses.

Shot is taken from Tiki bar. They got their drinks after shoot was finished.

I think the Ace Frehley one needs a drink with an umbrella and garnishes

The Frehley drinks vodka and does blow.

Digging that ‘73!

It's Minty and plays like buttah that has been buttered. Three of those all have maple 3 piece necks. Bright and sturdy.

Re: Gibson Les Paul’s Lets See Them....

Talk to me about what you did with the finish in the back of the neck....inquiring minds and all....

Honestly, just some 00 steel wool. No oil or anything after. Haven’t had any issue with it getting gummy and whatnot like some people said may happen. I may apply some down the road, but it pretty much stays nice and smooth.

40 years of playing is how I did that 79 Sunburst's neck. No need to do the whole thing. Finish wears off based on where you play...

I pictured the Frehley laying on it's back with a towel over its head

This is the only pic I currently have of mine:

2001 LP Standard Plus, getting a 59 / Hybrid set with a Jimmy Page harness.

If the weekend goes reasonably well, I'm planning to wire her up on Monday.

The weekend went fine, but today not so much. The harness is essentially built and the neck pickup is in (and working), but I ran out of solder. Maybe I'll finish it next weekend depending on the weather.

Three 68 reissues - the two solid finishes with huge necks and the burst one with a 60's slim taper. All equipped with Duncan Customs, with different magnets

Somebody posted this pic of a '59 Junior, slightly modded for a stop tailpiece. Some old-school luthiery, eh?

Those, especially the black and white ones, are so classic in terms of what I used to see played by the older school hard rock bands. Just freakin cool.

I'm thinking that would work and is easily adjustable to get strings over the poles....

Finished wiring it today, but the neck volume won't completely turn off. Hopefully it's a soldering issue and not a dead pot because everything else works. I really like how the Hybrid can be split to either coil, and the phase and series options are kind of cool. The Hybrid is a bit bright and slightly scooped, but I could always swap it to RCA5, or I could use the magnet from the dead 'JB Model' in my parts bin. Decisions, decisions...

I also need to find some new bell knobs because the Gibson ones won't fit these Alpha pots. :cussing:
