Gib*51 « Fan of vintage collector »
Published on 01/08/11 at 09:55Aus U.S. built in 1975, mine is 1975.
Bridge / tailpiece Gibson.
Bolt-on neck, maple and rosewood key is + similar to that of a Flying V (see my pictures). Very nice and confortable.22 freight, 24.75 scale.
The body (Les Paul flat) is in Alder (very unusual for Gibson).
Another feature: It was Bill Lawrence who is behind the two microphones installed. A double neck and a rail bridge.
The swtich traditional Gibson 3-position: neck, bridge or two.
Volume and tone.
Channel
UTILIZATION
very pleasant.
Ergonomics of a lighter than a LP LP but still ....
Access to acute way as LP.
Sound (nothing more subjective) I like it: it is a compromise between an LP by far, a layer of distance and a telecaster but by far the result = versatility.
SOUNDS
I'm bassist in a band and whenever I can, I plug the Marauder on my Fender Custom Vibroverb 1964 original. You're jealous, right?
Rock, blues etc. ... but happiness ..
From clean to crunch without Pb
OVERALL OPINION
I bought it in 1977 it's been 33 years. She did not flinch and I think the violin is well stabilized, lol.
The value for money, I do not know what to say except that if I had one day to sell it (you never know) I would suggest probably more expensive than the "Argus" announced.
Its price is about 800 €.
In all cases, it is therefore more staying at home I would buy a Gibson LP but where ?....
See photos on my gear.
