Gibson Garage

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

I popped into the Gibson Garage today. Hundreds of Les Pauls, plus other guitar models and one area of a wall about 6 feet wide with a handful of basses. Fell in love with a Korina flying V until I saw it was c£10K.

 

Some nice Epiphones downstairs — The missus particularly liked one of the basses, a yellow newport, but again only a few basses. Everything at full list price and many of the T-shirts were £69, although there were some cheaper ones from about £28.

 

The nicest bass in the place was probably an inverness green non-reverse thunderbird for £2200, but I already have a faded pelham blue one which cost me considerably less.

I posted the other day about popping in a few weeks ago.

 

I aksed the sales girls where the thunderbirds were and she said "do you mean firebirds..."

 

I tried that red non reverse.  I was surprised the neck was so thick. Not like a reverse t-bird at all.
