velorush 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.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shark 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velorush 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). 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamertek98 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeboy 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velorush 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...  😖  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velorush Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorch Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Talking Phantom) Mine had a six-in-line headstock. Awesome sound and playability, but its neck was excessively thin for my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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).  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
