Cool i know what you mean. The neck width is smaller too at the nut than most standards and neck depth shallower, very comfortable neck. Yours looks mostly original from the pic. Tuners, knobs, pickups?. Mine was changed out when I bought it. Mine had prob late 70's Grover tuners, speed knobs (in place of original witch hat knobs), and Dimarzio white Super Distortions. All changed out before I bought it. I had a refret done about 3 years ago and it does play like butter. Do you have original frets or?

i believe they are original frets, or pretty worn anyway. still plays nice.

mine was also modified. it had all cream plastic, gold knobs, etc... when i got it. i researched the originals and changed all the plastic back to black. so those, although gibson parts are not the originals. the t-top pickups are original.

i added some strap locks and a marshall amp :bigjoint:

You will know if they are the original frets if they still have the binding nibs on the ends. Oh I see, you put the original correct stuff back on. It was pretty rare to find those 70's Customs in original condition because the transition late 70's into 80's almost everyone changed out those pickups for higher gain ones and tuners and etc.
Yeah thats NOT the wide Nashville bridge... what did you put on it? I changed mine too. My original Nashville was a piece of shit anyway, it had multiple string notches ha. I bought an ABR replacement with nashville posts from Creamtone. Great stuff.

I always liked the look of black speed knobs on my Custom instead of the witch hat knobs, personally. It looks more sleek to me.

Thanks. Do you play acoustic or electric generally or both?

Cool man. Sweet axe. I didn't know Blackstar made a stereo amp. I'll have to look that up. I've got various amps, a reissue 68' Fender Deluxe Reverb and a reissue Supro 1600 Supreme. Both are great!

I have owned a number of both and a dobro too.

I played out a bit in the late 80’s early 90’s but I had a busy job and kind of hated the bar scene so I just play as a hobby mostly.

I have a strat and a vox to noodle on now. But my guitars go back to an 87 New Jersey built BC Rich ST-3 and a nice Martin D-15 from the 70’s I think.

i think i ordered it from stew-mac, if i remember correctly.

and yea, i do remember learning about the nibs now, so they are not originals. i should have known. this guitar has some buckle rash on it and i am pretty sure it spent some time on stage. helluva a guitar.

i was lucky enough to play out at a few bars and parties until my very talented fledgling band went our own ways. only reason i was in the band was i had a house for practice and handed out free homebrews to people that use to come jam, lol.... i was the least talented in the group by far. back then i was playing an apline white studio and kickass sounding faded brown vintage mahogany studio w/burstbuckers.

i miss jammin with friends a lot !!!!

I auditioned with a cover band that a friend set up tonight. First time auditioning or playing with strangers. It went well with the songs they told me to know for the audition. We played Clapton, Pink Floyd, and Steve Miller Band and it went really well, I thought. They kinda tested my improvisation and played some songs that I didn't know after and that part went iffy.

They didn't say either way, they said they were going to talk about it. Probably a no, but it was a fun experience.
