Somebody please archive these pictures!

I'm not posting this in Ebay auctions because I know nobody here will bid... but I would like somebody to keep these photos on hand for reference...

Too bad the gibson CS isn't as willing as the Fender CS.

Otherwise it shouldn't be that hard for them to build one of these.

I just saw this guitar in that issue of VG. It really is beautiful. I'd love to play it. I wonder what is feels and sounds like.

I saw one of those a long time ago when Fly by Nite had a bunch of Gibson EB hollowbodys. Beautiful!

That's schweet!

The bass player of one of my bands from yesteryear had the 4 string version, he got a great sound out of it.

Man, thats a great guitar!

As a side note, I just dealt with Olivias Vintage, and it has been the best transaction I've ever had on ebay, I highly reccomend them!  If theres anyone to feel comfortable sending 10 grand to on ebay, its these guys.

I agree. I have dealt with them before and they were very quick and professional in all regards.

Jesus tapdancing fuck just about says it all. There aren't many guitars I might consider spending £5000 on, but that's one of them.
