Hey, I just dropped 7 bills on a LPC '68 RI Murphy Lab and it has a nylon nut! ...because it's the OG spec!! (...Though that's the one thing I may update.)
Not just possible, more likely than not. Having just finished recording an album and insisting on using real amps, cabs & mics, when using good IRs and digital amps as a benchmark, I can say that it's pretty hard to get a reamp from real gear that as good- never mind better- than the recorded...
He can't play leads?
Seriously though, something I think about is that from my observation at least, in order for a band to get to be the biggest in their genere they have to be good - and have that special sauce - but they can't be too good. In other words, the more technical a player is the...
That Tverb was a great one! I have a line on a Tverb head as well as a minty combo a friend has, probably could get them close to a grand. Also know a guy selling a brand new Triple MW for $1600. As much as I want a RI, damn, I'll wait for the used market. That said, I'm hearing really good...
So I got the LPC. It is a gorgeous guitar no doubt, however there are (suprise?) some issues that I'm not cool with for a brand new guitar at this price point. Looks like it's going back.
A couple things I could look past if the tone was epic. There's a noisy pot- easy fix, but really? There's...
That would be fun! I don't have enough subscribers to matter though. :ROFLMAO:
If I'm being honest, the job I would want (and probably more qualified for) is Gibson CEO. I'd clean a lot of things up and get them all rowing in the same direction.
According to Gibson (currenty), the 57 & 68 RIs use a nylon nut and the "regular" custom uses Corian.
Side note, the Moderns & Supremes are using Graph Tech nuts.
This is like the guys that say the IIC+ and the III are the same. On a recording? Maybe-ish. In the room at volume? No way. Regardless of what you think is better or worse, it's different.
Example- IMO while I do prefer the C+ recorded, I much prefer a III+ (or a IIB+ or a IV) in the band...
I also recall Mike telling me that he only did the red channel when he C modded my G Triple. (which I highly regretted) Also, the clean channel got NUKED.
