Murphy lab and custom paint.  They scanned the original guitar to duplicate the neck.  Also, a custom flight case, medallion thingy and exclusivity of the 50 pc run. Getcha pull! 

GHS sells the gorgomyte.

Had a great experience in 2005 ordering my custom Dean ML thru Eddie.  We went a little crazy with options then the Dean guys really delivered on that spec. He was just starting the CarIin0 line, but I thought they were mostly fugly knockoff guitars that didn't interest me. Sorry to hear about...

Congrats.  I have a couple...

That kind of rebuild is not without risk.  I had a historic rebuilt/refinished a few years ago.  The process screwed up the neck & truss rod anchor. The guy that did the work passed away and I'm stuck with this "guitar". 

Looks great. Congrats - I want one!

I'm in the camp of "I love all Firebirds". Looks good and I'm glad its not $6k or more. 

This is good hear.  I'm having the same surgery tomorrow :(

The settings they use to drive the amp into oscillation aren't realistic.  This is not how you dial in a Mesa for chugga chugga. You don't set V1 and treble at 8-10 and the lead master at 8 with the overall master set at 1. That's just dumb. All a newbie user needs to do is use the sample...

My IIC+ reissue arrived a few days ago.  I would post a pic but I can't figure out how on this site :)  My dealer received 5 amps and just learned I was number 5 on the waiting list. While I was waiting on the amp, I've been playing my OG IIC+ SRG. Few thoughts: Just being real here but if I...

I was hoping they would use Doug West's Anderson guitar with H3 pickups.  This was the one they supposedly used when they were tuning the IIC+.  I pulled my Andy from storage for when the reissue arrives. 

The Gibson guy was probably not the best player to demo the amp but the tones I heard thru my computer speakers sound very familiar to me. They didn't totally goose the amp into noisy oblivion either.  

That was predictable.  Hopefully everyone ahead of me on the waitlist cancels their orders so I'll receive mine sooner. 

"Loaded" is an old school Boogie term.  They use it in some of the old price lists including the one I was given when I was trying to decide options in 1989. The base model was 60W without reverb, GEQ or higher power (100W mode, simulclass). Since then, I've always called those amps with the all...

I've owned a couple IIC+ amps.  The first one I bought in the late 80s, the crunch berries 100W fully loaded head for the then whopping price of $600.  Lost that one in a house fire. About 15 years ago I bought a loaded simulclass chassis for $3200. That one went back to Mike B and I had a guy...
