Took longer than I thought it would to finally get the Historic. Sure plays nice....
'03, never played, never displayed.

Jim,

I'm not an LP player but that is real nice!

How'd you find one "never played, never displayed?"

Must be a story behind it, no?


Thanks

Just got it from a friend with a dealership. That's what he told me, and since I know him pretty well, I believe it. Looked totally, completely untouched. Not anymore....hehhehheh
It plays really well, but of course, I don't like the pickups or electronics.
I think I am just going to leave it "as is" for a comparison tool.
Works well like that, just ask Vinni......

Does it have a Braz board? I think you can check the ones from '03 that had the braz from Gibson Custom's website somewhere...

That's a real beauty alright. I just got a new R9 and I'm not too fond of the pickups so far. I'm going to wait awhile and really decide if I want to change them. I'll probably order Goodwoods or Darkbursts from you in the near future. Enjoy that beautiful guitar!

What a beauty!

Just a thought. Why don't you do some clips, and after you change the pups, (You are changing the pups, aren't you?) post some more for comparison.

Actually, what I think I will do is leave it "As Is." And use it to compare their best to anything else I have.......just a thought...
Can't wait to hear that CD, I really liked those guys. Thanx for that short bio on them as well. Very cool

I am not sure on the fingerboard yet, but should know sometime tomorrow I think, and will report back with the info

BTW, thanks for the order Jim, I got both sets Saturday.
