Man that is hot! :yes:

8 years? Lost in shipping? :lol: :LOL:

Congrats man. She is a beauty. :rock:
 
I'm sure in 8 years & 3 months you could have found a real Gibson that played well :confused: ;)

Guitar looks great :thumbsup:
 
Took 8 years to save for it?
Or took 8 years for the build?

Beautiful Guitar
 
Builder had some personal and business setbacks, which led to mental depression issues. That's why it took that long...but it's my last guitar I'm getting. I've got 30 guitars here, it's time to seriously thin the herd.
 
You have some patience man. Glad it paid off. Looks great.

I didn't know Cameron was building guitars. :lol: :LOL: Sorry had to.

Oh please! You didn't have to, you wanted to! :lol: :LOL:
 
There's an Orb floating near the headstock, right by the nut. See it? :)

So that's not a real Gibson? It's a custom built replica? wow.
 
Awesome.

There is something to be said honouring the deal after all that time. Respect.
 
I think that's just about the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen.

Depends what you might be interested in and how much $$ you want to spend. I've just decided having two closets full of cases is a little much. (I know, I know...I can't believe I said it, either!)

Hadn't really looked before your post, but there is some type of lighting effect or something there. Probably denoting the "ghost builder" who made it.

Yes. I have one of the "Keebler" LP replicas from 12 years ago as well. That one has a darkburst finish, double white Wagner DarkBurst pickups, and similar hardware.

Thanks...8 years and $7500 later, it was a relief to hear it play and sound like it looks.

Clips will be tough. I seem to have lost my recording setup when I moved 4.5 years ago. I'll see if I can do something with an Iphone or some such thing later this week.
