  • Green Stealth

    These were a limited run, I believe only 25 are meant to have been made by the Custom Shop. Mine's a 2009 model, and they're based on a guitar that Chuck Schuldiner had. Finish is good - although I've seen the vast majority of these not having the center-section flame aligned with the wings. I must have got lucky...



    Almost forgot the specs...

      I almost bought a trans purple stealth instead of a kv2 but it had a kahler....

              Gibson scale is 24 3/4". So it's like whoever specced out that guitar said "Gibson scale is pretty good, but would be better if was an 1/8th of an inch shorter"

                Actually, I believe the Gibson scale really is 24 & 5/8" and they just round off or some weird shit like that. I read something about that somewhere. I'll have to measure my Les Paul later.

                    Um, I beg to differ...



                    So at the time that BCR started, they were indeed 24 5/8.

                        well there you go! I had no idea. And they've since gone shorter again!

                          Basically, from what I have read, it depended on the tooling at Gibson at the time.
                          Somewhat like how Fender Strat and Tele shapes have changed over the years.

                            I think I remember that guitar. It was a recent NAMM job, right?

                            Couple more pics to share...
