  • My LP - 88 silverburst showcase edition

    First, thanks to sambencuda for hosting.




    I had asked for one of the chlorine soloists for xmas, but gave up on the ides because of cost. My parents surprised the shit out of me when I opened up this bad boy. I had played it a few months back in the store and fell in love with it. Luckily they still had about a week or two before Christmas. Greatest playing, sounding and looking guitar I'eve ever seen. I had to get a Silverburst since I saw my first one and this one won't green and has EMGs, so perfect fit.
    Anyway story is in 88 the custom shop did a run a month (about 250 a month) of LPs with one SG. Most (all?) have EMGs. I don't know much about 'em and net info is kinda slim. Anyway wanted to share my dream guitar. My next one will be a Jackson though, don't worry. I figure I need a Floyded guitar to round out the stable. I also have a Mexi strat and an Ibanez acoustic.

      Looks cool!
      Another JCF member has the same model in the same color.
      Rich is the name.
      Now play me some Tool songs!
      I love Adam Jones's playing!

          [/ QUOTE ]yes, they are much thinner and lighter than a standard. That being said, they are awesome guitars. Ive played 4, and every one was perfect.

            It was at a GC in PA. Forget the town, I think it was Lahaska.
            About Tool, yea I'm a big fan, but I don't like the silverbursts for that reason. I do know a couple though. I play a mean Eon Blue Apocalypse, although that strangely only sounds right on my Strat.
            No, it's standard size. I wish it was think, it's one heavy mutha.

                  Josh from Hopesfall told me that he used to have a Showcase edition SG that was sparkle blue and had stock EMGs. He said that it sounded awesome with a crunch tone but terrible with a clean tone. Like his other guitar, it got stolen.

                      That is very nice. The EMG's and black hardware look great on that finish.

                        Beautiful guitar - I love silverbursts as well, and have one myself!! One of the best finishes Gibson has done that aren't transparent IMO.

                          Sharp looking axe you got there. There is nothing like a nice Les Paul. [img]/images/graemlins/band.gif[/img]

                          Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.
