Title: The earliest Gibson endorser?
Post by: Dave W on February 23, 2015, 09:07:24 PM

Gibson's Artist In Residence (huh?  :o ) creates the Edgar Allan Poe Les Paul (http://www2.gibson.com/Community/Artist-In-Residence/Product/Edgar-Allen-Poe-Les-Paul.aspx).

If that doesn't float yer boat, there's The Mask Of The Red Death SG (http://www2.gibson.com/Community/Artist-In-Residence/Product/The-Mask-of-the-Red-Death-SG.aspx) or The Raven Flying V (http://www2.gibson.com/Community/Artist-In-Residence/Product/The-Raven-Flying-V.aspx).

All I can say is "Nevermore!"  :rolleyes:

Bravo Sir Henry for releasing the Maelstrom; forsooth, you have unmasked a true face, that love of the dark-art that is the works of Poo, er, Poe...

All I can add is that a certain German can breath easy with the thought that there appears to be no Thunderbird re-fashioned as a pendulum to hang over the pit... after all, it might swing back-and-forth to a rhythm, but, it would eventually dive to one side and thwart mine enemy... :mrgreen:

I think they should all be walled up in the Montresor family catacomb with a cask of amontillado.
