That's gorgeous. Not sure I could justify it though. It's an Emperor, so I'm thinking it'll be priced the same as or just above the other Emperors.

Not a fan of the tremolo arm, but on the whole, it helps pull of a classic look for this guitar. Very cool.

Just looks like a Gretsch knock off with a coathanger for a trem arm.

What did you do that for? Do we really want to harass the good people at Gibson? What if we want to get in touch with them for another reason? Can you speak for 'us at shortscale?'

It certainly is, I'm just wondering if it's the most sensible thing.

if anyone actually reads that, they'll come to shortscale.org see it's a fender oriented site and probably assume we're taking the piss.
