Gil blows my mind. His attention to detail in every regard is staggering!
You'll have to give a detailed analysis of this beauty when it arrives.

I have to say, that one is B E autiful. Without the usual excess showiness.

I can only dream. (I dare say he probably wouldn't make a lefty anyway! :( )
So I like purple, okay!!!!!!

Awwww man. I've been trying to get through that thread for weeks now. Still only up to page 80-odd.

Guess I might want to sell the bike and a few other choice pieces by the time I finish it, eh! :lol:

George did you ever get on the list? is that your guitar?

Here is another pic of My Yaron Burst with Metro (White amp) and my 69 Super treme. The picture turned out a little fuzzy when I reduced the size, grrrrrrr. Oh well.

Not mine. Still on the list though.


Beautiful! Looks right at home next to vintage gear. How does it sound compared to other Les Pauls? I'm really interested to hear the pickups too.

Probably my first post around here....also a proud owner of a similar burst 8)

I recorded the guitar over my Marshall RI JTM45 (on 10, except bass), through a '67 Marshall cab with G12H25's.
It gives an idea of the great dynamics of the pickups. The guitar compares excellently with my other Gibsons.

+1, I think every Gil Burst owner should produce a 'movie/slideshow' about their individual guitar, like this...! (I know I would, whew!)

Wow, redozzman, I keep coming back to that pic with the plexis, and that is pretty much my All Time Favorite color of burst!

Congrats AGAIN! :stars:
