http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibson-R...82-i3168713.gc This was a pretty sweet guitar and priced fairly. I liked the looks and the sound but I am not too sure about "Granadillo" for a fret board. I think for the price this guitar is a steal if it has a rosewood or ebony board. Anyone else play or see one of these yet? The one I played was right handed but it was still a comfy axe to play. My buddy who was with me actually bought it and we jammed a little last night and it sounds great but I still think the guitar would be better served with a different fret board wood. There was something about the feel of the board I didn't like. Either way it's a pretty nice guitar for $1499.00.

I HATE BEING LEFT HANDED! 
I rock out to Baby metal because Wilkinsi said I can't listen to Rick Astley anymore.

Not big on V's, but I'm with you on the board wood.I live on the edge of danger facing life and death every single day.....then I leave her at home and go disarm bombs. -
A black and white guitar without an ebony fretboard is just flat out ugly, that is what I believe
I like black and white guitarsComment

+1, and they colored the pickguard ass backwards. This is one area I think I'd go for Edwards instead of Gibson, but I already have a great Michael Schenker V. Last thing I need is a small decal of a 1 on it.Originally posted by walshula View PostA black and white guitar without an ebony fretboard is just flat out ugly, that is what I believe
But what's really important is that it sounds and plays great.

had to google Granadillo.. never heard that word before
Granadillo is a relatively new wood to American guitar making but is fairly common in South America. It is non-porous, straight grained, very dense, and has a ringing, bright tap tone. The reddish brown color will darken to a brick color over time much like Honduran Rosewood.GEAR:

#3 2001 MIK Squier Stagemaster Deluxe[Fender TripleBucker]
#4 2007 MIJ DKMG/DXMG Jackson (IG VOLTS)

The Gibson I posted was a Rudolph Schenker sig. The pick guard is cooler when it's matched up side by side IMO. But yours is sweet too!!!Originally posted by DonP View Post+1, and they colored the pickguard ass backwards.

+1 My buddy bought it that night and it's a great guitar for the price but I said the same thing. I think this guitar is a much better player and seller if it has a rosewood or ebony board.Originally posted by BLOOD SPLATTER View PostThis is what I think of Gibson since 1993.I HATE BEING LEFT HANDED!

Granadillo does get dark after a while so not a bad wood for a fingerboard IMO.
I don't care for the looks of it at first but after some playing its not too bad.
Feels like rosewood to me so I could deal with it.Does it sound different than rosewood or ebony? No of course not.Really? well screw Mark Twain.Comment
