Guitars for Real Musicians

That's another great idea, greentinted. Should have thought about that! For those wondering, the PGM 700 is a violin-shaped signature guitar model for Paul Gilbert. Here she is:

Hell, even just an "entry-level" PGM3 would be awesome. And maybe more realistic to imagine Olson selling.

**EDIT** Wow the censor here is quite strict, eh? Can't even say the "h" word?!

Sounds good to me. Wasn't planning on dropping the f-bomb, but I even use the "h" word in front of my mother, which to me is a gauge of how dirty a word is! Laughing

Also, if Robert could make this

Robert = personal hero.

^^^I was tempted to post the Fireman myself, but I think cloning that axe would really piss some lawyers off if ya know what I mean. That guitar is definitely unique, nothing else remotely like it.
It would be ironic, though, since Ibby themselves got sued by Gibby back in '77... Very Happy

Yeah. it happens. I would like one but at the same time, Id much rather have the Fireman's(firemans? firemen?) that are out there be the only ones. There are some luthiers that make the bodies which is lame. I guess at the same time, thats the same thing with the pgm700 too. Really unique body shape to it.

Right now I want an explorer. If Robert could do that that would be nice. An explorer or a PGM. Then I think once I got those I'd be done gear shopping ... for the rest of the day Wink

Right now Im in a big Gibby Les Paul circa Brent from Mastodon kick.

I like the Fireman. I'd flip too if he could make one!

I think I mentioned 'somewhere else' that I wouldn't mind a more modern les paul...something like the Epiphone Prophecy but with a yellow to green dragon burst.

I wonder what our options are as far as inlay work goes?

I just thought of this: some of you may already know about it but there is a Web-based program that you can use to design your own guitar. You pick from standard shapes like an LP, Tele, Strat, etc, but you get to choose all the options from woods, inlays, finishes including bursts, everything. There's no way to directly save the image you make but you can just hit the print screen key on your keyboard and paste/crop the picture and save it using Photoshop or even Windows Paint, I think. Very cool tool to use to bring your ideas to life! Then you can post them up here for the world to see... Shocked

Here's the link: http://www.yajimastringworks.com/tct/yswtct-kisekae-e.asp

And here's one of my creations: the Jeff Beck Oxblood LP. The Gibby Custom Shop version has black/black coils but I like zebras better.
