bubs_42 Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Sammy finally got a Les Paul signature guitar. But come on why put one out without Les Pauls Name on it. Its it and always will be Les Pauls Guitar and those who play it should pay homage to him. http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issu...t_Les_Paul.aspxhttp://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-G...ul/Details.aspx
marcnorth Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 I don't really care if it says Les Paul on it or not but that peace sign or chicken foot or what ever they call it looks like shit.
Shark Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Good that he's not playing guitar in chickenfoot. So this one even makes more sense :-)
pfxc Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Along with the Great Wall of China I think that the Chickenfoot logo on the headstock can be seen from space. Still waiting for the HSAS signature edition.
LefThanDed Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Waiting for the Robot Chicken Foot model...
BTMN Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 If anything it should have been one like this.... Sammy Columbus, Ohio October '79 I always think of him with an Explorer or his Dean Baby ML. He has always had a Red Les Paul too it seems. Even sang about it... Crank up the drums, Crank up the bass, Crank up my Les Paul in your face......"

I definetly relate to him and the explorer myself.
GaryT Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Won't be many of those sold with that headstock. And a few years they will be worth a small fortune...lol .. Unreal.Wow that silkscreened on too. I thought it might come right off. He went with a 57 in the neck and a Burstbucker 3 in the bridge. Definatly be a volume increase from neck to bridge. Sounds like its a long neck tenon also.
eightyfour Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Fact is that's one fine Les Paul minus the silly logo. Love the color and spec on it. Had they chosen to do more of a comedy LP with a giant Chickenfoot graphic across the body, I may be more on board. But this is a gorgeous Les Paul defaced with a silly oversized logo.
bubs_42 Posted February 6, 2010 Author Posted February 6, 2010 Here is the the thing. I don't know because I haven't played one but Sammy's has played a LP Classic since the 90s in Trans Red. Probly just a copy of that guitar, but it would have been cooler if it just had the Alien Sticker behind the bridge like Sammys than that logo.
hamerhead Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Some black paint could cure that headstock Yep.I love Sam, and it's a great looking guitar, but 'WTF' really says it all.
GaryT Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 I thought it was held in place by the six TMs. Whats gonna be the Retail price? Figure about 60% of the list right?So you could still put yourself into a used Mint 58RI for that kind of cash.
velorush Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 Gibson site says $3,894 (reasonable considering what they're asking for a new Les Paul these days). Wonder what it would cost without the logo? Also disappointed it isn't the trans red I associate with SH (not that I'd necessarily be in the market...) Just re-read your response, GT. Yes, 60% of MSRP would put you right in the neighborhood of some really nice "pre-owned" Historics (sans 'foot').

That would be loaded with a 500T and a 496R I believe. Probey why he picked the Burst 3 and a 57.

Figure about 60% of the list right?So you could still put yourself into a used Mint 58RI for that kind of cash.That would be the better route for someone looking for a guitar to play. Somewhere out there are probably a few collectors who will grab one of these to put away and admire.
thehikingdude Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I'm sorry, but Gibson has lost touch with reality. OK, the CEO has at least. I expect to see a Gomer Pyle sig model soon at this point.
Jason01 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Who was that nascar driver that smashed the les paul trophy guitar? Maybe he'll get a signature model next? This ones still better than the Hendrix Gibson strat.
Steve Haynie Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 If guitars like this did not sell, Gibson would not be putting them out. In this case it is odd because Sammy Hagar really has not been identified by one guitar, and his pointy ones are the most memorable.
