REALLY?? I Want What They're Smoking

[FuzzyAce]

Anybody have a shot of the PCB? I wanna see what $5,000 gets you.

PCP

 

[Jambi]

Will your vehicle get you to Poontown, USA though?

 

[la szum]

Good grief. Just get some good Dimarzios for $200+ and be done with it.

$450 if you are in Canada. Right, @Stone ?

 

[AutomationBias]

Or save $999 on pups and just go for the fantasy guitar for $20,000.

My favorite thing about this is that they flawlessly replicated where Kirk carved his initials into the back of a two million dollar guitar.

So you’re saying it’s “authentic?”

Yeah, a really interesting choice by Gibson. If you were to create a Venn diagram with sets for people who can spend $20,000 on a guitar, people who love Peter Green, and people who love Kirk Hammett, I'm pretty sure the intersection would only contain Kirk Hammett.

How much you think you could flip it for on Reverb?

I swear, every time I think about a new vehicle (COULD use a truck, but don't want to spend the money on anything made in the last 10 years, and don't want to buy something older than that in Maine because roads and Mainers are freakin' hard on trucks), I immediately think about how many guitars I could buy instead...

The bummer about that is that there’s probably 1000 trucks that meet your criteria sitting in some old dude’s backyard in a 100 mile radius around you.

My first truck was from some older gentleman who lived in Poland, it was a late 80’s Blazer the guy still maintained once a year like a clockwork, despite not driving it in daily use for a decade.

I have a 1996 Ford Ranger with 422,000 on it. $400 and you can come get it. Been an workhorse.

Runs down the road like a stallion. No heat. Blower motor is toast. 4 x 4 with manually locking
hubs. I almost want to keep it because it is a vehicle I can actually work on myself, unlike anything
made after 2010.

I try to keep my eyes peeled. Where I am, its either a $80k+ truck for boat hauling (that never actually hauls a boat because the boat winds up being big enough that they pay a pro to deal with it) or some SERIOUSLY abused and mostly rusted out work truck.

 

[TSJMajesty]

That is most definitely more than my first car, maybe even double what my first car cost.

TEN times here! Yeah, mine was $500. And it ran fine. Was 6 years old at the time (the car, not me!), and after fixing a little body rust and new ball joints, it passed inspection. (And I ran TS out of it!)

Its not. American music has it for same price.

"The Gibson Custom Kirk Hammett Greeny 1959 Les Paul Standard Murphy Lab Aged with Case is a remarkable recreation of legendary Peter Green/Gary Moore/Hammett owned Greeny."

If you want one without all the Murphy lab Aged finish and dings, Sweetwater sells one for $3,200

 

[Hapless]

I think my first car was less than that.

The bundle is a little more than 10x what paid for my first car.

I'm not a Murphy Lab guy by any means, but I can't believe it's a $17k upcharge for just the Murphy treatment. There have to be substantial differences between the guitars.

I'm guessing The $20,000 grand one has the better pickups and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Both are just Les Paul Standards as was the original KH one.

 

[ucnick]

Definitely WAY more than my first vehicle!!

'62 Chevy Impala, freaking ballroom on wheels. Cost $200. Big 6 cylinder, I think a 242? Guzzled gas like it was going out of style, and this was around the time of the '74 oil embargo. Treadless tires, was a challenge in snow. Rusty chassis and gas tank, had to replace the fuel filter every 50 miles or so. Ah, those were the days...
