Don't let anyone tell you different but there are "some" Gibson Re-issues out there that do come scary close to the old originals. My 2018 True Historic R9 VOS got the seal of approval from a Burst owner who not only owns a old burst but has played a few old ones and he said my R9 feels and sounds extremely close to a 59 he had played. He also told me there have been others he played over the years.

His wrap around tailpiece guitars have better intonation than my tune-o-matic / stopbar tails. I spent my formative years playing a 30th anniversary Goldtop with worn frets...so I have a heavy fretting hand. This plays hell on "intonation" as I send things sharp...but all of that aside, I've stayed away from wrap arounds because of the limited options with intonation. I now believe that to be horsepiss in most cases (I've seen horror stories re: Juniors that cannot be properly intonated). More than likely, if I'm playing and the intonation if off, it's "operator error." That '54 is Freddy King City™! Beautiful. The whole collection is brilliant. Thanks for sharing it with us! Cheers!

Wonderful to see these tremendous instruments being so well cared for. Gibson guitars are so elegant and in my opinion and preference don't really handle heavy wear and tear like Fenders.

There are so many other guitars in that room that are looking for a little camera time as well, you know, and I am sure I heard 'em screamin' for just that. Now, while it was great to tell us about how the axe is half the sound and runnin' them dimed thru a nice amp completes the whole sound, I think we all need a little proof of that theory, just to make sure it is accurate. I know the crowd here would agree, right ?? So feedback be damned, Let's have BOB prove his theory for us, one beautiful, vintage treasure at a time. Tell Bob we said "Pretty please", won't you??

I have always considered that location to be one of the all-time dumbest "vintage" attributes ever. It's one thing on a hollowbody - just a wasted run of wiring - but to do that extra routing/drilling?!? Yes I KNOW, that wiring helps mute the tone - if you wanted it - or... tick...tock...tick... or NOT wanted it. And a 19c capacitor can do just a fine job, the exact same thing. And YES, I know that Gibson was trying to trick people into buying a Les Paul by making it look as much like a hollowbody as possible. Bet they fooled a whole lot of people, you know how ignunt dem guitarbees be, right? And NO, you don't wanna let me NEAR your valuable vintage guitar, I'd be Commanded by Voices to FIX THAT PUPPY UP... still a whole LOT of vintage, but you can (largely) kiss that "valuable" nonsense goodbye.
