Topic: Un-aged JBLPs for sale...

I didn't want this to get lost in the other thread, but I think this is pretty big news. I know there were some people who wanted the guitar without the aging, so here they are!!!

Anyone got an extra $4000 laying around that I can borrow?

Those were especially made for Wildwood guitars.. They are actually not aged.. They will be the rarest ones out there.  Cause I think there are only 25 being produced not aged.. Everything the same except the aging ..  Enjoy

Re: Un-aged JBLPs for sale...

Wow........I'm almost lost for words!!! Am not a huge fan of the ageing I have to say, would rather contribute to that myself! That right there is just one seriously beautiful looking guitar, had no idea there was going to be some un-aged ones out there. All I need now is some left-handed un-aged ones to come out, and er....some money and I'd be set!!!

If only.............:(

Re: Un-aged JBLPs for sale...

Wish I had known Gibson was going to make a few non-aged. I would have waited. Maybe.... Regardless I'm still happy with my JBLP #36.

Re: Un-aged JBLPs for sale...

I only recently heard that was going to happen. I thought they were going to do an additional run of the unaged guitars but evidently decided to make the last 25 unaged.

I like the aged and am happy with #38 too. I understand some people not caring for the aging. It is an aquired taste. I would say that it would make the last 25 serial #'s just as desirable as the first 25.

Re: Un-aged JBLPs for sale...

I want to have all of the funds, buy the wife is sounding like she wants me to just go for it...  I was actually bummed knowing that they came out aged.  The way I look at it...if it was actually played and used to the point of looking like that would be something, but being it was made that way...no thanks!  So a non aged jb model which has all the features that I want in a les paul, hell yeah!

Re: Un-aged JBLPs for sale...

I did the tally today and theres no way I can afford another unless I sell some gear. I'd rather not do that.

Guess it's just not in the cards.

Re: Un-aged JBLPs for sale...

Hey Spider I've been doing the same sums too. I think I came to the same conclusion. So it looks like my aged 043 will be lonely, well except for the R9 and R7 she leans up against. :-D. I did work out I would be prepared to sell both of my PRSs and a couple of others. The trouble is those un-aged ones are going quick but in the current climate private sales of regular guitars is not a quick process. Not to mention the current £:$ exchange rate, as I'm in the UK.

Re: Un-aged JBLPs for sale...

I am in the process of selling off some gear to get one of the unaged models.  Well I hope I can before they are all gone.

Does anyone know if Joe uses his model at all on tour?

It's been his main guitar the last few times I saw him, along with a Rossington Historic or 59.

Ok so which one is the one you want just in case I get my funds.  This way I don't pick the one you are interested in.

I could easily put it on the card but it's not so easy when the bill comes!

Thanks Ken....

I kind of figured that Joe was the type of person to use the axe that's got his name on it.  Unfortunately, many musicians don't use their signature guitars at all.
