I am your doctor of love!
This is it - the SUPERBOWL of Guitar Pron !!!!!
Two axes enter, One Axe Leaves (for those whose prefer it to be the Thunderdome of guitar pron) !!!!!
Actually, a lot of axes have entered, and now it is down to the final two. There were 20 entry polls of easily 30+ guitars each. So 600 or more started this journey back whenever this summer. From each of those entry polls, 10 fine specimens were selected to represent in each category poll. So 200 battled for a spot in the playoffs. Of those 20 category winners, it was narrowed down to a final 4, then the two finalist polls, and now, the Championship round. All so you could get your daily/weekly dose of guitar awesome.
And as I ALWAYS say - there are NO losers. Every guitar in those 200 was absolutely drool worthy. Some were just a little more awesome than the others. But now, it is time to DECIDE!
In this year's Ultimate Axe competition, we have Burst vs Burst. And two extremely awesome guitars they are indeed!!!
In one corner we have a brand new (so new it had a label on the pick guard) Gibson. A re-issue of a vintage 1959 Les Paul Standard. It is in a rare Lemon burst, and look at that flame. You need oven mitts just to pick it up! This is about as fine an example of the breed as you can imagine. But it is not a case-queen. This guitar has been gigged and rocked hard.
In the other corner, weighing in at even more than the Les Paul, we have an original 1977 Hamer Standard. Look at that massive slab back. Not a reissue, this is the real deal vintage. This is a rock warrior that has been there, seen it, and rocked it for over 30 years. This one goes by the name "Whackhead" and its top is not exactly plain either.
The winner will be decided by 7pm this Saturday. Gentlemen, good luck!
