My beat to hell '69 ES-335. I bought it sight-unseen out of the back of the Vintage Guitar magazine classifieds in 1996.

Gibson owned Steinberger when I got this one, so I guess it qualifies for this thread.

Steinberger GM7TA w/ TransTrem built at Gibson's Nashville factory.

Absolutely stunning with that Deluxe.

I love that color!

Alright here’s the SGs. Stock Gibson P90s in the one and BKP Riff Raffs in the Faded. I still dig the tort guard on it so it stays.

And for good measure my Sheraton. I love this guitar. I gigged a lot with this one in the last band. Mostly stock except I yanked the craptacular Epi Pups and put in an old set of Classic 57s I had lying around. These pickups are like pre-2000s and sound fantastic

Thanks! It's a '65 that I bought from Emerald City about 15 years ago. It supposedly belonged to Heart.

I call this guitar Phony Iommi due to its similarity to the signature model. Those are Peg City Angry Widow pickups, not Tony's Gibson signature pickups.

Some buckers and P90 Gibsons.

Wow! That's Sweeet!


I had a Resissue Walnut 335 that I sold a few years ago.

Guy came over to look at one guitar and then made me a stupid offer on all of
my Gibsons.

I want a P90 Goldtop so bad. And I’d play nothing but social distortion on it.

I have been SUPER curious about those reissues. Did it have a super skinny neck?

 

[la szum]

Not Ibanez Wizard skinny, no? :lol But also not vintage 50s thick either. I think it
had the 60s' Slim Taper profile from Gibson, which I pretty much can't stand, and
one of the reasons it was easy to part with the guitar.

I don't want teensy necks on vintage-inspired guitars....

Those TDW necks were incredibly skinny! I measured the nut on mine and it's 40.7mm. Not much depth on those necks, either, but they feel pretty round, super fast.
