The Gibson & their copies picture show

[HotRats]

Thank you. Yeah it’s super cool looking. Always gets lots of comments. And everyone needs at least one with P90s haha!

I'll get a P90 LP or SG one day.

I had a Firebird with P90s few years ago and in the past I've installed P94s (the HB sized P90) in a LP Traditional I had and then moved them in my SG.
I don't get along with hum & noise but I love the sound.

My P90s Firebird. Don't own this one anymore.

I actually really want a Pelham Blue Firebird at someone to have a nice trio.

And these are a Standard (left) and Traditional (right) I own no more.

Both with bare knuckles cream pickups and black truss rod cover.

I have a Pelham Blue SG. It’s killer.

One thing I’ve learned about SGs that balance varies. My first SG had bad neck dive. Tried all kinds of grippy straps to help but it was always annoying.

Then fell in love with that look of Pelham Blue and tried again. No neck dive at all. So easy and fun to play. And LIGHT compared to my LPs!

The neck is to flat for me .
I have a load of different Epiphone SGs and love em all.

Does my old Japanese 2003 30th anniversary limited edition Epiphone count as a Gibson LP copy ?

Oh gotcha. That’s a different issue indeed.

You should try my SG. Is the slimmest Gibson neck I ever encountered

 

[Dave Lewis]

Oh gotcha. That’s a different issue indeed.

I don’t mind slim necks it’s flat necks .
I’ve got small hands with short dumpy fingers but prefer fuller more rounded bigger necks .
I find it easier to get my fingers round a bigger neck.
I would love longer fingers but I’ve got what I was born with and having Arthritis in old age hasn’t helped

Edwards on de left and the Orvie on the right.

The Orville is a '96, Edwards is a '22.

I think I might put the stock Gibson pickup back in the Orville and get a set of gold-covered Aldrich's for the Edwards. I absolutely love how the Orville sounds now, but that pickup has so much output and the guitar sustains so damn much on it's own that I'd rather put something with a lower output in it to actually utilize the natural sustain.

We don't have a proper thread for showing off our Gibson (original or copies) guitars.

The thread is meant for pure Gibson designs and not inspired by Gibson ones (a tokay Les Paul is ok, a prs 594 is not)

But since we are not the best form of the entire universe feel free to post whatever you want.

You should start a Fender version of this thread man

Really cool collection of guitars.

I have no fenders nor fender style guitars!

I'm a 100% guy.

My one and only Gibson-style at the moment is my IBG Epiphone ES-335. Can't quite afford a Gibby on a meager teachers salary.
