Topic: Joe's Skinner Prototype and Magnatone Amp

A tweet from Joe earlier today. Interesting that he's calling the Skinner a CC... It looks absolutely awesome, whatever series it turns out to be...

The 2013 models are really good, i mean really good. The Custombuckers are awesome, whether driven or rolled back on the volume. My 2012 R8 is now redundant and looking for a new home...

Re: Joe's Skinner Prototype and Magnatone Amp

Both Joe and Mike are calling it a CC.

Who cares though, I want to know what pickups are in it and what Joe thinks of it so far..............Seems to be getting a good workout

There will be 50 aged/signed, 100 aged, and 150 VOS. Tom Murphy is aging them. Launch date is April 7th. I have never seen an aged/signed CC. We shall see.

You can always take one to a meet-n-greet to have Joe sign it.

Thx for the quanity &  info....

On the First Gibson Collector's Choice-Gary Moore  Les Paul was aged and Gary signed the "Gibson" -COA on them.
.
the Collector's Choice™ #1 1959 Les Paul Standard will be offered in 125 examples aged by acclaimed artisan Tom Murphy, with subsequent instruments treated to Gibson's VOS process. The aged guitars will be accompanied by a Collector's Choice™ #1 COA personally signed by British guitar legend Gary Moore while the VOS versions will be accompanied by a Collector's Choice™ #1 Melvyn Franks COA.
