velorush 5,787 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Anyone seen this guy? Asking for a friend... 🤓 Sold it to an HFCer back around '08 or so and lost track of it after that. Serial Number 3 7991 with untouched electronics and an actual OHSC. The hog neck was just a hair under what would later be called Vintage Carve.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Shark 5,538 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I'm the HFCer. It was cool, but not my cup of tea. I can't find any correspondence and can't remember who I sold it to. So sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
velorush 5,787 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 No need to apologize. I can't believe I remembered who I sold it to (and certainly have no record). 😃 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hamertek98 102 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (#imkeepingitandnotsellingit) I’m sure people will keep their eye out. I miss my white Cruise bass I sold someone here... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0054 2,770 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 The reason why I have a hard time selling stuff. I've traded one amp since 2012 (Mesa Blue Angel) and miss it dearly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jakeboy 6,721 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I think I passed on that Phantom from you, @velorush....I regret not buying it. I have always wanted one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
velorush 5,787 Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Search update: stricken with GAS today. Prolly better if the Phantom turns up later... much later...  😖  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

velorush 5,787 Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Finally got it worked out - man the weird formatting and such brought on by the e-commerce websites! I was too intrigued by the prospect of Gibson's newborn quality, the beautifully-executed burst and very subtle, "just enough" figuring on the top. I seriously couldn't get anyone to talk me out of it. After the blessing of a certain HFCer 'in the know on all things Gibson,' I succumbed (again, many thanks). I'll plan a full NGD post when it arrives. ETA: my first Lester... Edited May 3, 2020 by velorush 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Travis 4,247 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Ah, that looks badass!  I’ve never had a Les Paul either. Kinda feel like I should have one at some point. That looks like a good one. Congrats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gorch 5,477 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Hhmmm, I remember @zorrow had a white one that he sold one time. Can‘t tell if it were this one. Maybe he chimes in. (Talking Phantom) Edited May 4, 2020 by gorch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Talking Phantom) That was Serials' old veteran of a thousand gigs, wasn't it? The subject of the search was an earlier one with a much thicker neck (0.88, first fret).  1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
