What model Gibson? Can we see pics of that, too?

Also ... I love your Deluxe. The sunburts on Deluxes are a cut above either the MIA & MIM Stds, which are beautiful.

sure but its just a Gibson LP Studio in mahogony. i will post some pics soon. i guess i just thought noone would want to see gibbys on a fender forum.
Why would you think that? Most of us like well made guitars no matter what the name on the headstock is.

The Tangerine one is a factory special run of 40 units, commissioned by the Willis Music Company. One is staying with the company and the other 39 are for sale. They just came in a few days ago 10/28/09 or so. They are really nice. I bought two of them so there are/were 37 remaining (going to put one up and never play it). Plus a highway one for my Son. His is black with satin finish and it's really nice also. Of course, I haven't seen an American Strat that wasn't nice lol.

Thanks for the compliment.
