Default I need this...
Oh no...

I thought Gibson had stopped making these...



OK, it ought to have block inlays to be a real custom, and the body binding isn't quite right, but I've always wanted a black LP custom with P90s, and look at that price! £1247 on Thomann. They're giving it away.

Only problem is, being a Gibson, without playing one it's hard to know if it'd be the guitar of my dreams or a total pile of chod. If my Classic is anything to go by, it'll be an infuriating combination of both.

I want that guitar. Damn.

I'm similarly "giving away" some bellybutton fluff if you like. £350 a pinch.

Bottom line- It takes motor skills and practice to develop fast clean playing but a brain to use it wisely and rock guitarists are still recovering from the 80's.
All in all sound is in the ear of the beer holder

It's the latest middle-class internet scam. You send money and all you get is a tub of organic margarine, purchased at Waitrose in the centre of Bath.

Mmm... Black Beauty.

It also needs the big headstock with the Super 400 inlay, real pearl not plastic inlay. Price seems good though.
