Ohh, Peter Doherty played this one at a gig in austria a while ago, it sounded great! These gibsons go pretty cheap I think,light rail coyote wrote: I'll have to take a pic of the 50's gibson hollowbody I'm working on now

One is a coil tap.The other isn't wired,it was added by the former owner but I don't know why.I think the guys at the shop are going to make it into a "kill switch".mage wrote:what do all those switches do?

Ive always heard that the 70's and 80's Gibsons were awful for some reason. The ones I've played from that era were pretty sweet though.

well the gibsons from that era are very heavy but besides that it's mostly idiots making a big deal about any variation from the original design. even when they're generally agreed on improvements on the faults of the original design. they basically fix the problem of the weak neck joint with a maple neck and volute.
I really want one of those fine tuner tailpieces.
