hi all iv had this intermittent screaching problem with my RD artist, it happens when ever the bright mode is engaged. any thoughts as to why it does this

to be honest i think my original is 11lbs but i love the weight, it sits there and i play it, it doesnt move, it doesnt feel like a cheap piece of wood, its perfect

the more i look at it the more it makes me annoyed that gibson cant put a little bit of effort into making something i little special or different.

good to see them back, my gripes tho- -rosewood fretboard looks bad on both, a maple of the natural, and ebony on the black would be much better. but i guess they are money saving - stock pickups used on the EB bass and thunderbird 2015, they look crap - the preamp is probably nothing special. - the knobs looks out of place, but thats easily changed. iv never really been a fan of the small headstock they use at the moment tho, doesnt looks right.

Hi all I cant find much about these heads. They seem quite rare. Can anybody tell me if they are any good? My svt 450 went pop recently. Cheers

when i was 14 i scored a gibson g3 off german ebay for £350. stupidly a year or so later i swapped it at a shop for a burns bison.... huge mistake! but 3 years or so ago i saw it on ebay in this country and just had to buy it back, even tho it was twice what i paid before. and sadly the original hard case had disappeared down the line. i found the bloke who owned it between me owning it, on youtube, as he put a few vids up with it, but he hasnt logged in for years, and thus not replied to any messages.

you could try and find an epiphone classic pro thunderbird, Its got gibbo pickups, and the body and neck are gibson style. so you pretty much getting a gibson for a 3rd of the price. maybe that would even leave you with enough to buy a PJ as well!

so i spend most of my time looking like side show bob
