fantasticsound Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Cool! You know Orville is a Japanese Gibson product, intended to be sold in Japan, right? It looks fantastic! I want a P-90 LP or double cut LP! Great grab. It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowbell Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 Yep Me and my family learned about the Orville brand about a year ago, and have also bought a '59 Les Paul reissue about 3 months ago from Japan. It's really pretty cool. These are real Gibsons and usually go for around $500 for a Standard. They used to end at about $400, but the prices have gone up. If you notice we paid about $865, including the $100 shipping costs. A reissue model like this costs somehere at least 3x as much.I'll do my research again soon. Update: Gibson 1956 Reissue goldtop on MF, which has a tunomatic bridge costs $2450. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alguit Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I periodically check out GuitarGui's website on Fender Japan and Gibson Japan (Orville), and the guitars he has for sale always look very impressive. Yours, too, is pretty "droolworthy." Best of luck with it, and you teach that guitar how we do things here in the states...oh hell, I've never been good at that "USA! USA!" spiel...just have fun with your new guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skipclone 1 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I`ve been keeping one eye out for one of those here but I guess it`s no secret-lots of interesting LP makers (check out Navigator) but no Orvilles spotted yet.

LeftyBlues Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 You've really got 13 guitars? Serious? I've got alo-o-o-o-t of catching up to do, 12 to be exact. You're all thinking, you've only got ONE guitar?!? So far I do!! Bruce I was born at night but I wasn't born last night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave da Dude Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Bruce Downs, You've really got 13 guitars? Serious? I've got alo-o-o-o-t of catching up to do, 12 to be exact.

doc taz Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Well, I have only one, but I sure would love to have a Les Paul Custom in the same finish as my current avatar's (Wine Red). It'd be nice if the avatar lady were included for good measure... at least for a weekend date! sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reachjkh Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I had a '75? clear maple/mahogany Les Paul Custom once. I don't even miss it. I sure do miss that modified bassman head though...ouch. I SAID OUCH!!! Bruce, don't feel bad about only having one guitar. Just make sure it's a guitar that you like, though you will need a backup guitar for gigs in my opinion, and the backup guitar can be a cheapo. I've only got three guitars right now and don't really want any more. Two of them are frankenstein guitars that I have built from leftovers, and I love them best. I would like to have a tele some day too, but I'd have to get rid of something first. It's just too many mouths to feed when it comes to strings. Hey you white boy there Go play that funky music "ok...what's it pay?" first smoke, then silence your very expensive rig dies so gracefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
