DaveL Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 That looks great! Very weird that the guy with an expensive guitar like that doesn't make the connection to pack it safely. but glad it got there in one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was weird too ... but then a amp I also bought on Reverb was also packed badly ... and it came from a actual music store. Maybe we are just used to the conscientious members of the HFC.

I'm obviously new to this Gibson Historic reissue game only becoming interested a week or two ago . What does "GO" stand for? I tried looking it up online but no dice. And how do you pronounce RO? I know it stands for "reissue 60" but do you say R "O" like in the letter O, or R Zero like in the # zero? R ought? Saying R60 makes more sense to me but evidently that's not proper Gibson lingo.

cynic Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Those were a special run of R0's for Guitar Center. All the serials had a G before the zero. Lots of rambling info here. ETA: For the record, yours is not a G0, but an R0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkavenger Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 LOL, 19 pages on the GO. I read the first page ... thats enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustKid Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I call it R zero. Had few 0's and G0's ...same guitar, no difference whatsoever , except that on first G0 the put regular flat caps, after a year or so switched to bumblebee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punkavenger Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 The best guitar I've ever had ... the only thing I don't like is the binding color bleed, but I guess I'll have to learn to live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustKid Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 you mean where red body tint goes into the binding? They do not clean it on purpose. It's pretty much on every reissue I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkavenger Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 Thanks everyone for your input ... I am truly a novice when it comes to world of the hysterical reissue. After reading a few pages on some LP forums I understand why HR owners are so often made fun of. Most comments are of some trivial nature regarding pointers, or color or burst or some other minor cosmetic issue. Oh yes, the truss rod condom, Thank you Stike for bringing that up. Its a shame because these are (at least mine is) great guitars that deserve to be played the snot out of. Anyway, heres what I found out about the color bleed. Its because of the cherry pore filler that was used to be historically accurate. It bleeds into the lacquer top coat. Lacquer is much hotter than pore filler (oil based) so it leaches out the color. During reading through a few threads some say it goes away if you play the the guitar a lot. Some say it gets worse if you play it a lot. One guy said he just took it to a guitar refinisher and he fixed it BOOM simple easy peezy no problem by stripping the binding and respraying the clear. The two guitar refinishers I called said it was a very difficult fix and it would never go away. The one refinisher said some counterfeiters actually paint the binding red because everyone knows the reissues bleed. There was a story on one forum where a guy took his reissue to a TANNING BOOTH 4 times to fade the red from the binding. Can you imagine doing that? I would rather masturbate in public. Another guy taped off his entire guitar except for the binding and left it out in the sun for a few days. That doesn't sound like a good idea. Anyway, the guy I jam with came over and he liked it and said that it makes it look old. I admit when you walk into my living room it looks like a old LP the the Allman bros might have played back in the day. That's good enough for me ... time to toss my OCD tendencies to the wind and play some fucking guitar. Can I get a FUCK YEAH???!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
