Gibson pickup flaw

Surprising, I would have thought it much smaller than an Epi JC which - except for the cutaway - has EB-2/ES-335 dimensions. Those true hollow bodies sure appear quite a bit larger. Escher is everywhere!

That's what struck me when I first saw this one...

The hell he ain't!

Kenny should have matched the bridge and topnut to give an accurate comparison for the size of these basses.
Assuming they're the same scale (both 34 inch right?) this would be the picture:

It's not a Hellcat!

Yep, both 34" scale.

Inspired by Van Gogh?

That was mean, Mark, and you know it!

But also to die for.

Well you know I can't resist a good opening.............


Sorry, Leibe Kenny

... to give an accurate comparison for the size of these basses.

Better "comparison", btw; I was looking at shape rather than dimensions...

You're right Kenny. I'm sorry

I'll drink your health with a nice single malt... 

[Basvarken]

Good idea! A Laphroaig 18 will do

[TBird1958]

I will hoist some Bowmore 12 

[Pilgrim]

Harrumph...we here in the LBO want nothing but the best!  We want LOTS of malts!!  Just dump alla those malts in there!!

Curiously, the present uncorked bottle is a Laphroaig 10yr, which is rather nice at the price... glass in hand and signing off... slainte mhath...
