I read on another site that he just passed from cancer..... cancer blows....................gibs

If Dean Zelinsky has returned, that's a good thing......I remember when the originals came out in the '70s, and they were awesome....but I haven't messed with the later ones......they looked good, though.... Like all guitars to a certain extent, Epiphones can be pretty hit or miss....I've heard...

Sounds logical that Gibson would buy him out, particularly if the guitars were close to identical in design....it's a cool story...I'd love to see old Gibson files.......it would be great to see how it all went down............and how much they paid him.....!.........gibs

64Firebird, it's still going on today til 6pm, you've got time...Fair Park automotive building, and they're using the grant street entrance................gibs

Every imaginable axe.....(ok, no vintage Starfields, lol)..... I got to lay my hands on anything I wanted to, as well..... Gibson Custom had Pods set up with headphones, and I got to play different re-issue Les Pauls...burstbucker pick ups rule , I might add........... Minor gripe, Gibson had...

I think I got it!!!!!!!!!!!! Could the guitar in question possibly be a Springfield instead of a Starfield??????? Springfield makes some good looking LP styles....... Click Catalogue at this site: http://www.springfieldguitars.com/about.htm ...............gibs

Sorry the above pics aren't the one you described, langelyt...I was hoping we were on to something.... The guy from that site was nice enough to respond to my email, though, and here's what he said about the one pictured a couple of threads up: "As far as I can tell, it was never part of...

joro, I just sent an email to that site, asking the history on the guitar.....I've never seen a quasi LP shaped electric/acoustic with a trapeze tail quite like it.........it's unusual to say the least.... I don't really expect a reply, but if I get one I'll check back......gibs

Well, whatever its provenance, free is for sure a great deal!!!!.............:cool: Just because I never heard of a Starfield/Gibson connection, doesn't mean it didn't happen, because Gibson, like Fender, has had a long and interesting, rather meandering way to get where they are now...

made by Ibanez in the American shop....but I thought they were strat shaped......................gibs

Gibson does some strange things... The 2002 regular Standards are AA tops, Kluson tuners instead of Grovers, and have Burstbucker pups...the first few of these have "Standard" on the truss rod cover, the later runs don't.....and surprise, no pickguard........also a choice of '50s or '60s style...

This is one of the biggies........I'm gonna be drooling all over the place.....lotsa brands....lotsa stuff to try out.......there's usually some vintage stuff that's mind boggling as well.............if you're within reasonable distance to Dallas, check it out...I'm only 2 and a half hours away...

Looks like an older Yamaha to me, the tailpiece and headstock look like it, as does the pickguard....but I've been wrong before............gibs

Very nice...the only blatant give-away is the guitar-like sustain at the end....the drone is pretty cool too....but not as cool as the shitar itself!....gibs

That was cool....!...I liked sample # 1 best, ( not as much pick sound)....looking forward to hearing what you used..gibs

*shudder*....it's actually gonna happen.............gibs:eek:

Ed is right about lighter fluid, which is actually naptha.....it won't even hurt the nitro finishes on Les Pauls, but it will leave a dull haze, which will disappear with guitar polish, or even lemon pledge...... the rubbing alcohol method takes more elbow grease; some sticker's glues don't...

It's like over a hundred bucks , also....and how many times do you need a fake sitar sound????? (at least, that's the way I talked myself outta getting one, seriously...when it dawned on me that I would only use it for one tune, plus I didn't even know if sounded like crap or not, it was pretty...

There are bass compressor/limiter stomp boxes that help with those fluctuations..... Guyatone makes one....I think it's the BL2 or something...... Might wanna check out Musician's Fiend or Samash or Zounds to see if they carry those or other brands....surely Boss makes one too......gibs

I don't think it's a matter of genre....instead of offering recording tips or advice, (which is the fucking purpose of the clinic), some people chose to simply trash him for no reason other than his tune didn't fit into their idea of what "blues" should sound like...... Some of you oughta keep...
