Finally!! I've wanted one of those ever since I was a kid.

Should be a nice guitar. Only question is, what will Gibson try to flog them for? Could be another overpriced edition.

 

[ThePass]

I'd love to have one, but it's gonna be $6000. My guess anyway.

The spec says Bigsby, the picture he's palying has one of those crappy Gibson metal bar under the strings with fall off arm that whacks the guitar out of tune if touched.

That arm will fall off the guitar.

Isn't that a Maestro?


I remember seeing Rush back when he started using that one. He sure made it sound good.

 

[elindso]

Yeah they suck IMHO. At least the SG special I had way back did.

It's a dumb system. It bends more at one end than the other. Maybe if you had a tech playing with it all the time.

It isn't a Bigsby as is stated in the spec.

My personal guess is $5000. Unfortunately I'll never have that kind of cash for a guitar, unless I hit the lottery. But I can always dream. Or get an Epi Dot and make pretend...:wink:

I'm disappointed. I was really hoping his signature guitar would be a Floyd-equipped Les Paul. I lust for a Floyd-equipped Les Paul.

They made 'em, or on second thought it might have been a Kahler.

Yea, I've seen LPs with a Kahler trem systems (ref). Only ever seen Alex play one with a Floyd:

 

[ThePass]

Only Alex could spend the money on a LP Custom with a Floyd! That has gotta be alotta cake!

He probably uses that on Limelight live, although I've seen him with PRS.

For $5000 I'd take it anytime ... as a gift :food-smiley-004::smilie_flagge17:
