Re: Viv Campbell sig LP..
Neh, i like the color w/ the chrome hardware. Headstock looks real cool with the colors and chrome. I dunno, though. The silver/black color scheme on a lp reminds me of alex skolnick (i know his is an esp and not lp but the shape is similat).
Doesn’t really pop for me, and yeah $5000 is pretty nuts

Re: Viv Campbell sig LP..
I'm surprised nobody caught the "Limited to 250 guitars worldwide part.
These guitars were obviously intended for the superfans and era-collectors who would bank on the guitar gaining some kind of collector's piece value.
As for the guitar itself. Meh. If I wanted those specs it would have been easy enough to get one made for less than half...

"Richlite" FB, a set of super distortions, a sure to be botched bookmatch top in depressing grey.... but hey, a multipiece neck with a "70's C" instead of whatever the heck Soviet acoustic guitar-inspired brick shape profile is Gibson's current flavor of the week
All for JUST $5,999
...where do I sign up??? Lol
PS is it just me or are they competing with a better equipped LTD midrange EC dimarzio model with a nicer top for roughly 10x less dough??

There are 250 Vivian Campbell super-fans that want a guitar he never played when he played stuff we liked?

Re: Viv Campbell sig LP..
Does he *have* 250 superfans? I like Viv a lot, but let's face it, his star power isn't really like Slash or Angus. He didn't play on most of Def's famous stuff, and Dio (as much as I like that band) wasn't known for the unique guitar tones, and is never mentioned in 80's metal threads.

Exactly, I will keep on rocking my ltd ec1000 asb with seymours rather than lay out the cash for another gibson, ok, so the 5 les pauls I once owned were good but just not worth the current asking prices.

Re: Viv Campbell sig LP..
I was about to post something similar.
I’m sure it’s a fine guitar but not for $5K.
Even though Viv is still currently playing a high profile gig, his star power was what 30 years ago?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of his but I’m not buying the guitar.

Re: Viv Campbell sig LP..
I am in no way a superfan. The setup of that guitar does scratch an itch for me. I would love to have a Lester with SDs. The price is a bit beyond what I would want to pay for a Les Paul...

Re: Viv Campbell sig LP..
Some vintage ibanez guy on youtube showed the combo off and it was awesome... then again, the old 70s "lawsuit" Ibby was probably a better axe.
Btw.... what the hell *is* 'RICHLITE'?????

Re: Viv Campbell sig LP..
Richlite is paper in epoxy cut in sheets. It works fine for a fingerboard, or shelving, or countertops. It doesn't work for me on a $5k guitar, though. They couldn't include ebony? Or go with something that is reclaimed wood with a story (beer barrels, shipwreck, etc). I think for $5k you should get real materials.

Re: Viv Campbell sig LP..
Agreed
Well, actually no, for $5k, it better contain some fossilized Mastodon and some platinum-unobtanium alloyed accents
And if it's seriously ~all~ bad with exotic woods, have these fools been to a Home Depot lately???? Plenty of fine maple planks for a couple of bucks, or walnut for a nice dark color. Also, nothing wrong with boiling some steel wool in vinegar, and "ebonizing", if they clearcoat the planks afterwards.
Seems like, as usual, they mistook the "baked maple looks and feels nasty" fiasco for input saying "we absolutely hate maple and would rather have epoxied cardboard"
