NGD: 2001 68' Custom RI Tri-Burst

[Darkscience]

This is my #1 guitar for sound, it is incredible, plays like a LP.

Looks snazzy man.

 

[MaxOfMetal]

Oof, that is just gorgeous!

Congrats!

 

[ThunderUnderground]

Hyper classy, looks like it belongs in a dimly lit jazz lounge with some double digit aged whisky beside it

 

[Nag]

"plays like a LP" yeah, I sure hope it would!

HNGD! I had a 68RI in the antique pelham blue (it looked green). It was a great guitar.

 

[Crungy]

That is a classy fucking LP, damn.

These don't always look great, I'm happy to say yours does!

Since this is an earlier version, does it basically have the thin 60's neck or was that a GC run?

Hngh...Tri-burst is my favorite LP Custom finish.

You lucky sumbish.

I'm also shocked at how much gold is still on an 01. Case queen?

My '22 is more tarnished haha.

I honestly do not know what type of neck, it feels similar to my 22' 68 RI BB. I planned to call Gibson and see if they can tell me what store it was sold from out of my own curiosity.

This thing has not been played any meaningful amount, it is basically just about like new. I played it and it sounds perfect, so not sure why it was neglected. The tuners are quite tarnished though, the rest has hints but not much.

Dat top!!

Neck feels a lot like my BB 2022 68' RI. Feels slim to me, I like both fat and skinny necks so neck shape is never anything I care about.

 

[Leviathus]

Exquisite!

 

[Ben Pinkus]

Dayummmm thats one of the coolest LP's I've seen in a long time

People buy case queens to oggle.
