Pretty cool guitar, just arrived from Vic. Weighs 8.5 lbs., plays very nicely, enough roar to rip your face off! Very "Greeny-like" curly top. For some reason the photos have more of an orange tint than the real butterscotch color. Heavy aging, especially on the neck, but it doesn't inhibit playing, and has a pretty cool vibe. COAs have not arrived yet (Gibson is waiting for Gary Moore to sign them). Hope you like the photos! :dude:

Yess... my my... :wow it's got mojo!
The heavy aging on the neck: did they put a thin layer of clear coat over it to make it feel smooth?

I'm not understanding why none of the Gibson literature references the Peter Green connection. I guess licensing is even complicated when its a historical fact. Having the other major reference be the current owner is pretty lame. Whatever.

Not hard to understand at all. They can't reference Peter Green in their literature if he didn't give them permission to do so. And Gary Moore only agreed to endorse the aged version. :ganz

Won't that headstock break reduce its resale value?:worm












Looks awesome!

NIce Mike. I couldn't wait for the aged version and grabbed one of the first ones that Vic got in. I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to see that before it went out to it's new home. The VOS version is such a great guitar I just have to know - how does the sound and playability compare? The VOS felt like an old shoe, comfortable and broken in so I'm almost afraid to ask for your thoughts on the aged version. Congratulations on sweet guitar.

Thanks, I now see that reference to Murphy in the overview section (not in the detail section where you'd expect it). :)

Yes, they need a proofreader. In one column it says BB3 neck, BB2 bridge, on another page it's reversed. So I'm not really sure which way it is, although the neck does seem pretty hot.

I have a VOS version also, and like both of them. The aged one feels more broken in and a bit more aggressive, but both guitars are great in their own way. :hank
