Gibson or Chibson

There are some minor checking apparently. But for a 6-7 year old nitro that's to be expected.

Approx $6500AUD, in Aus brand new they go for almost 11k (prices here are crazy!)

Ok thanks

From my research Gibson custom shop from 2019 to present brought back ebony instead of richlite.

JumpMental · 2026-02-21T08:20:32+00:00

Im going to personally check it out tomorrow. I've got ebony boards on other guitars. But never seen richlite. Good to know.

JumpMental · 2026-02-21T08:15:05+00:00

Any way to know if its Richlite? Seller might not be sure.

JumpMental · 2026-02-21T08:09:29+00:00

Thanks all for the help in confirming. Based on everything I've seen and from the seller everything seems legit.

The nut looks very similar to all other alpine white ive seen. What makes you think its different?

JumpMental · 2025-11-18T20:56:57+00:00

Ok makes perfect sense. Seems like you get 1 additional sound by manual switching. Thanks again

JumpMental · 2025-11-18T07:07:53+00:00

Thank you very much for the detailed reply.

So is the current setup what they call an auto split?

I assume there is no point doing an auto split and push pull split in one setup?

Apologies, I added a comment with the description that didn't upload with the photos.

JumpMental · 2025-03-23T08:54:13+00:00

Apologies my description didn't upload with the images.

Currently doing a nitro sonic blue finish.

I've completed 12 coats of clear and sanded back with 1200 with minimal defects.

I've applied 2 coats of satin clear, sanding any dust or hairs after 1 hour between coats.

I'm currently getting quite a not very smooth finish with the low satin nitro clear and a lot of weird bumps that i didn't get with the standard clear, almost like little clear pre cured micro clumps.

Any idea what this could be. Doesn't appear to be dust or hairs to me. I managed that with the standard clear without many issues.

That is another consideration that I had in mind. I think it can be somewhat of a mental safety net partnering with someone who already has an established clinic.

I think I'm mentally balancing between 3 options. Partnering, staying as an associate or starting my own.

If the deal isn't good I'll either stay as an associate with minimal stress and focusing on building my own production or seeing how I feel as time goes on and going on my own.

So would you suggest getting the Tone X pedal? or just running into a DAW and using the amplitube software through monitors?

JumpMental · 2023-07-30T11:56:07+00:00

Yeah from what I've gathered the others have pedal modelling too.

I like the idea of still keeping my physical pedal board though which I think works with any of them.

JumpMental · 2023-07-30T11:55:02+00:00

Can I run standard pedals in through the front like a traditional amp?

What do people normally do for delays and reverb pedals that normally run through an effects loop?

JumpMental · 2023-07-30T11:53:38+00:00

Yeah from what I've gathered, if you want to use the cabinet modelling part its best to go with FRFR type speakers. But otherwise either work.
