Today I happened to have my three Gibsons out. I've had many over the years, but for now these are staying.

The SG Custom (~'73 or so) was my dad's ever since the late 70s/early 80s.
The RD and Marauder are both '78.





...show me yours! Tell me their story, if there's any!

Those are so cool!

Mine is nearly a Gibson, and nowhere near as exciting. ‘89 OBG. I’d like a 70s LP at some point. But this has the slimmest neck ever & it’s a joy to play. Also lighter than my Tele & new mustang as well.

I’ve been playing guitar for nearly 40 years and only had a Gibson in the last four. I dipped my toe with a Les Paul Tribute (no binding, no weight relief, pretty hot pickups). I found I liked the feel, but not the pickups or the weight, so a few trade ins later I have these two…




Not nearly as cool as those above, but I’m very happy,

2016 and 1969 SGs… the newer one has SD Pearly Gates and absolutely rips. I’m in the process of semi-restoring the 69 to its original Special config with Lambertones Ristretto P90s…

I will be letting a few go over the next few months, but here's where I'm at currently...

Haven’t seen you post about these before. That SG is sublime! What model LP is it?

Yeah I haven't been around much, so I haven't been sharing as much... work and stuff.

But, I've had three days off work this week, hence the higher frequency of posts!

The LP is a 2001 Classic Plus...very cool guitar...it has '57 Classics fitted and a few other upgrades.

The SG/LP is a 1963 guitar with three PAFs.

Ha!

I forgot to add my Explorer!

...which is oddly enough next to me on the sofa!

not gibson but made in kalamazoo by gibson!

My Firebird.



And my Gibson adjacent Epiphone Riviera with Firebird pickups.

I have nothing to share here, despite owning many over the years. An old 78 (I think) LP in the 90s then a procession of SGs and the odd NR Firebird.

I don't think I'll try again unless a black LP appears with a 40mm nut width.

I forgot about my G45. It’s nothing like the beauty & sounds of Maggieo’s dove. But surprisingly good sound for less than half the cost of J45.

I’m also hoping Larry shares some pictures of his acoustics.
