Post a pic of your axe

Bloody hell. Mind, it's a highly thought of guitar in the Les Paul community, and this is the first time they've done a proper replica of it. The old Moore signatures were just an aesthetic copy I think. Possibly had the flipped magnet in the pup, but I'm not sure.


I'd be interested to try one just to test out the out-of-phase neck pick up.

There's a lot of pictures of Moore with the guitar and the pickup's orientation corrected. He must have turned it back around at some point - or a subsequent collector did before Hammett bought it. I assume the magnet wasn't corrected.

Aye i watched an interview with Phil Harris and he says Gary reverted it back as he thought it messed too much with the guitars mojo when he ‘corrected’ it

Yeah, he is…. You’d be surprised, he is in his twenties now!

All this pricing by tagging a name and mimicking some scratches, a neck profile and pickup placement is ridiculous. Marketing madness. I sort of get the price being crazy when it is the actual guitar and the provenance of that, but even then they are still just a guitar.

I have some nice guitars but don’t think that I have ever paid any stupid money.
My regret was not buying a Fraser guitar when they first started being produced. His Telecasters are a real thing of beauty and were originally only £795.

It’s an acoustic.

A Lowden 032 custom order built by George.

It took me 18 months to get it sorted and there was an amazing story too which I don’t want to share publicly but I will send you later.

Makes sense, as it seemed such an important part of the guitar's character.


I think they're planning an Epiphone release too - wonder how much they go for.

I'd be more interested in the build, colourway and obviously that neck pickup ocnfiguration over any of the heavy relicing. I'd probably want the tuners reverting to what I assume will have been stock when Peter had it.

Apparantly it's had two neck breaks as well... I wonder who had it then.

Here's the real 'un in part 1...
. Part 2 feature's Arthus Ramm's Kossoff Les Paul.

Yeah the epiphone will probably be 3/4 years away after a Gibson usa factory run, will no doubt tip the 1k barrier…

Just spoke to a dealer about the next run for the custom shop… nothing official yet but looking at next autumn and priced between 17-20k which makes sense seems though the r9 Murphy labs are now around the 10k mark :lol:

Better than Viagra marra 👍
 
I asked Dave Smart of Smartech Guitars (Nunthorpe) to do a one off.
I had a Line 6 Variaxe which had been dropped and damaged. The electronics were fine and I loved the Modelling electronics from the Peizo pick-up.
I found a cheap Squire Telecaster Affinity on GB for £40. Basically transformed into this.
