I never liked gold hardware anyway
« on: March 22, 2013, 12:41:53 PM »
Always loved the White Falcon sound and look despite the gold hardware (the only time gold hardware didn't irk me a little; always been more of a nickel/silver man - even the wedding ring which is a "mokume game" of white gold and silver), but just noticed this Billy Duffy sig and OMG WANT!

Ironically I have been working on a project guitar which is somewhat of a hybrid of a Les Paul Jumbo and a White Falcon.  The irony is that it'll have gold hardware (to match the gold Gibson LoZ pups I have to use in it).  Also it's gonna be (semi-trans) ebony vs solid white.

When I saw Bow Wow Wow at Club Foot in early '83 the late Matthew Ashman was using a White Falcon through a few Marshall stacks.  I remember it being one of the loudest shows I'd seen.  Love those guitars.
