I hope mine doesnt yellow, i heard they put stuff now to stop it from yellowing. i love alpine white and want it to stay that white.
Thanks, yours looks nice too. I had a 96 i think, or somewhere around there, and wasnt near as good as this new one. i think i am gonna sell my 68 flame top, i never play the damn thing anyway, to heavy for me and i am in love now with the white one.

Wow, you guys only hangle for acouple bucks? Around here our local music store has a huge markup... they where asking $350cdn for a BBE 482i! I went in and talked to Dave (the guy I always deal with) and asked him what he could do me in for. He calculated his commission and said $250. I laughed, and walked out of the store.
Went in the very next day and first thing he says is: "Evan, I can do $225+tax, and I'll throw 20 free picks and 2 packs of strings". I told him I'd need a rack too, and I got a Gator 6 space rack, BBE 482i and a Alesis PowerConditioner for $575cdn + a case of strings and 20 picks.
But yeah, nice guitar for sure!

Thanks, I had already known that as i posted above, Unfortunaly I have had enough gibsons to know how to date them, it is when you get the reissues/custom shops that it gets harder. I have it written down somewhere how to do those too.

That is a sweet looking axe.. I may have to check one out produced around that time if I can. Been picking up a Paul almost all the time now when I do have time to play.Last edited by charvelguy; 01-16-2007, 03:09 PM.
