Greetings All
I ordered a 60th Anniversary LP in February and Gibson lost the order. OK I'm over that now.
So I popped down to Thomann whilst here in Germany as they had 7 Lefty 60th Anniversaries in stock. It's like the clouds opened and light shone down.
The first one I played was just amazing, really it's the real deal, but I felt there was something not quite right about.
So they get another one out for me and that one did not have the same zing and chordal separation of the first and the volume pots were not as good, it all happened after 8 and not much before. The two of them were like chalk and cheese really. But the trouble is the first one dominated it all after that.
The first one, which I called "The Department of Mysteries" had a 60th Anniversary case and paper work. But it did not have to gold script Gibson Logo on the headstock, it also did not have the 1959-2019 badge on the back of the switch cavity and the serial number is 9-8xxx, yes there's an 8 in there!.
It does have a proper "peek-a-boo" top and it's in Royal Tea Burst. It's a totally fabulous thing it really is.
We are awaiting an answer from Gibson.
Keith Richards said the guitar finds you, you don't find it. And I will go along with his words of wisdom as every wonderful guitar I have has rather oddly presented itself when I least expected it.
