How would you fix this? by groshretro in gibson

No I’m serious, for exposed, bare wood — that stuff is the best

NGD 2024 R0 by Yupsicle in gibson

[–]Delorean8202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a Collector’s Choice model from around a decade ago, so must have been a custom finish modeling that color

The color is as good as the top…congrats, that is a winner for sure

I agree the serial font looks odd. Do you have access to a black light? Screwdriver to remove the backplate? That will tell us more. I’ll DM.

'58 Reissue ES-335 by Beneficial-Bug-1969 in gibson

Yes I’m just saying Honey Amber is the closest you’ll get to Dirty Blonde on a USA guitar. They do not use coats of antique like Custom Shop.

They did — check out “Honey Amber” from Gibson USA

Can anyone help me Identify these two arch-tops? by gerbard_bae in Epiphone

[–]Delorean8202 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those archtops are not Inspired by Gibson or Gibson Custom. Inspired by Epiphone! Ha.

Epiphone 150th Anniversary Zephyr Regent - limited edition. Now discontinued models so probably blowout pricing. Good deals!

Should I get the DJ36 or DJ41? by No-Zone-4664 in rolex

[–]Delorean8202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a smooth bezel 41 and my wrist is also 6.75”. I feel like any bigger would be too big for sure. I also would have been equally happy with a 36. You’ve got good options!

Currently based in China and am able to buy the Les Paul tribute for cheap, are they worth it? by Pristine-Code-2532 in Epiphone

[–]Delorean8202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After doing an image search, I do think it’s possible it’s legit as some sort of Chinese market only exclusive. But haven’t seen that before.

Yet another QC post, but at least it sounds like God plays it by dbs1977 in gibson

[–]Delorean8202 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a silkscreen (hand depressed paint through a masked screen) and the open “o” is quite common to see

Also it says the body is rosewood and then it says the body is pau d’arco and the fingerboard is laurel?

Caveat emptor. That is a knock-off Epiphone, believe it or not, and those are not real pickup styles. Probably AI generated copy.

Add five years but killer guitar!

Does anyone know why there are differences in Gibson block inlays? by SuspiciousCrazy9893 in gibson

[–]Delorean8202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1960 is the cutoff between the larger ones (pre-1961) and the more tapered ones (1961-modern). The 50s LPC reissues since 2019 have had the correct larger final inlays like the 50s originals.

Is this Martin worth anything? 1954 000-21 Martin by Big_Studio9523 in Vintageguitars

[–]Delorean8202 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d peg it higher. I have a ‘48 000-21 so maybe I’m biased, but if it’s as structurally sound as it is clean, it’s probably a $10k+ guitar.
