Is the neck DF different from the bridge model ? I thought it was just a regular 'bridge' model put in neck.

I don't have a clue.

Whats funny, IIRC (could be way wrong) it seems that back in the day, the Dirty fingers werent very highly regarded. Now, they are using them again, selling them for a healthy cost and advertising them as a triumphant return. Even one of the new Epi prophesy models comes with them...
I guess they are pretty cool then?


Ok, forgive me, but I have to throw this out there. (my inner child)

Honestly, I never play with dirty fingers, I always wash my hands first to conserve string life. LOL

bad joke, sorry..

I remember wanting an RD Artist really bad when I was in high school.

Man, those guitars of the week/month are way cooler than Gibson's regular line of guitars. They've had some real winners.

Totally Bad a$$! If i could justify geting a new guitar that i would ruin the resale value of by putting dents and dings in it, I would be all oevr that like pork on chops.

That's one of the very few odd shaped guitars I like. I'm glad Gibson used a regular LP headstock, rather than one of their cheesy banana types.

The more I look at it, the more I want one. However, I'd sell the stock pickups and put a C5/Jazz or Seths in it. I'd probably choose nickel covered for that guitar too.

That's a cool looking guitar sort of like a combination LP, Explorer with a little Firebird thrown in.

I remember the origionals a guy I played with back in the early 80's had a black one. Those were really cool guitars I didn't know they had been reissued :bling: :cool2:.

Way too cool Jolly, nice score! I've always loved the looks of those guitars and with the silverburst, it's that much sweeter.
