Hi Leeray :-) Oh my, that's a Gibson first edition Robot. Best looking Gibson ever. The production run was 4,000 so they do crop up from time to time. Cheers, Gary :-)

@@FoxysGuitarShow Thanks have a good one cheers from Dodge City, Kansas U.S.A. Also which guitars do you feel are wheelchair friendly?

Hi Rod :-) Unbelievably decent bit of kit. Probably from around 1980. Every other design I've tried either requires two people or a subtle combination of steroids and valium first. Cheers, Gary :-)

Thanks Karen :-) It seems there's life in the old dog yet! Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi Strato :-) I like those, too. Nice big chunky maple neck. I think the black fixtures and fittings made it look very rock n roll. Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi J and thanks :-) It looks like Les Paul Wednesday will be going for another couple of weeks. More budget guitars for the next two weekends. Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi Rod hahahahaha :-) If I thought I could get a few quid for them they'd be on eBay tomorrow! I'm considering letting the other kidney go at some point, too. So, you raise an interesting point here. Firstly, if you like the sound of the 61 and 57 Zebra Classics but you're not keen on the look of them, you can pop chrome or gold pickup shrouds on them - they pop straight on and can be fixed in place with either solder or kitchen sealant (really). Sound - wise, I've been using a little Blackstar ID Core 40 for the last several years and I like it at least as much as my Vox AC30 from the 70's. I've also got an ID Core 20 that I paid £50 for and it's just as good. The onboard effects are amazing. Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi Gary, I don't have the skills to start removing pickups and doing stuff like that. I've been really spoilt that way. I had a good friend who I'd known since I was about 12 who was the local Guitar Doctor. He did various mods for me over the years and back in the days when I played for a living every 6 months or so I'd just ask for "A clean bill of health" and he'd do whatever my guitar needed after going in and out of a tour bus 100 times. Every guitar I bought from the 70s until about ten years ago he'd set up for me. Sadly he's no longer with us so these days I just have to do what I can. Gear wise, when I was gigging I had a Mesa Boogie studio 20. I don't even own an amp these days. I use a gizmo called a "Cube Baby" and connect it to my PC via a little interface thing and it records really well. A night in the pub would cost more than a Cube Baby. There are plenty of demos of them on YT here's a link to the demo that made me decide to get one. In fact I have two just to make things future proof. ua-cam.com/video/8eicIIv7X5o/v-deo.html

Hi Nick :-) Great choice mate, they're terrific bikes - arguably one of the first 'real' super bikes. Or at least the first that handled and had proper brakes! I've had two 1000F's and this is my second CBR 600 'Fridge'. I had a newer CBR600 and hated it. I prefer the 600 to the 1000 for agility reasons so what was I thinking buying a Harley????? I think it was the studs and leather that got me :-) Cheers, Gary :-)

@@FoxysGuitarShow You got it right with the 600 I think . Easier to live with and how fast do you really need to go ? 😇

Hi Mick and thanks :-) I think you've put it really well. Medium priced Gibson is bang on. Glad you liked it! There's still a few Les Paul Wednesday slots before we move and another couple of weekend budget guitars. Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi Pete and thanks :-) Luckily, these came in Cherry, Chocolate, Fireburst, Rubbed Vintage Shade and Vintage Sunburst Perimeter. Chocolate and Cherry flavours seem to be the most prevalent though. Hmm, might have to go for an ice-cream now. Cheers, Gary :-)

@@FoxysGuitarShow icecream, great idea. Fireburst perimeter sound like a blast radius. Have gibson gone neuclear? 😁 All the best

Hi Paul :-) I should do one of that, too. It's really easy. There's a foot operated lever that disengages the chock. I'll pop one on soon when I get chance. Cheers, Gary :-)

Mark! Hi. Really nice to hear from you :-) This trailer's had more views than the guitars get! I should start putting some bike videos up. Actually, if you go on my Ebay page foxyfoxyfox (naturally) you'll see me caning it around Weeton. This trailer has to go because my new bike's too heavy for it! Cheers, Gary :-)

@@FoxysGuitarShow By too big I take it you've got Harleyed 🤦

Hi Mick :-) I've put this on here because I'm selling the trailer and wanted to demonstrate how easy it is to use. My new bike's too heavy for this one so it'll have to go! Blimey, it's had more views than the guitars get - I might do one of the bike, too hahahahaha. Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi Doug :-) I didn't know that at the time of recording. I'm a Westfield fan as it goes and there's another Westie coming up in a couple of weeks with any luck. Cheers, Gary :-)

Hahahhaha, hi Karen :-) Yes, eBay doesn't let you upload a video for anything other than a car or motorcycle so I had to link this on the advert. My new motorcycle exceeds the weight limit for this one! Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi Strato and thanks :-) Only £995 on eBay with a full MoT!

Hahahaha, hi Rod :-) This one's on eBay and they only let you upload a video with cars or motorcycles. My new bike exceeds the weight limit for this so it has to go! Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi Gary, I've seen this on ebay, and the bike too. When you think about it the bike trailer is only about the price of a decent Epiphone so that's got to be a good deal. I've never really been a bike person but I did have a Honda 90 for a while back in the 80s. 50 mph flat out if the wind was behind you :) I look at ebay listings most days, I've got one of your's on my watch list. Counting down the time just 10 weeks to go. That's not bad when you think I've been waiting about 50 years.

Hi Newcy :-) Hmm, their looks can divide opinion but they're very comfy for an old lad hahahahaha. Cheers, Gary :-)

@@FoxysGuitarShow They could shift pretty well from what I can remember. How's the recovery going?

@@newcybrown6352 recovery going in the right direction and I’m really happy with it. Yes I think that was the same model as the Hurricane and it certainly has stomach churning, licence destroying power on tap 😂😂🏍

Hahahaha, hi JonBon :-) Sneaky lot! I'll go and check immediately hahahahaha. Cheers, Gary :-)

Hahahahahaha, hi Mr Whitesnake :-) Perfect for the movies - that little quip literally made me laugh out loud! Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi Tom and thanks :-) It's up for sale on eBay and I wanted to demonstrate how easy it is to use but you can only upload a video to that platform directly if it's a car or motorbike. Cheers, Gary :-)

Hahahahahaha - not tried that yet! :-)

Well easy innit?

Thanks David :-) This one's no longer required and it's less than the price of a nice Epiphone! The bike I've got now is too damn big for it!

Hi Dale :-) That's a lovely story and I'm loving your positive outlook, too. You can't beat a bit of an historic mystery - maybe it once belonged to Carlos Santana - you never know! Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi Glen :-) The original 2007 series were a collaboration between Gibson and Baldwin. Not much of a collaboration to be fair as Gibson own the Baldwin name. Anyway, they had the bright idea of making some student instruments and to keep the costs down everything was done in China. As it goes, Maestro is historically the name Gibson used on their vibrato systems. The 2017 models don't bear the Baldwin name so strictly speaking it's a Chinese Gibson. Cheers, Gary :-)

Hahahahaha, hi Kyle :-) Yup, if things really get tricky you can always whip the neck off and bung a shim in it! Slainte indeed. I had to Google Translate that - imagine my surprise when it came up as Scottish-Gaelic! Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi Casey and thanks :-) Wow! You got lucky. If it's got the original Velvet Brick pickups they'll be worth a couple of hundred bucks each - easy! Personally, if it plays great I'd leave it. If you ever decide to move it on buyers will like the originality but if it's your main guitar you've got to do what you've got to do :-) I've had one of those Roadrunner cases before and they're superb quality so you really scored. Enjoy it! Cheers, Gary :-)

Hahahaha, hi Bob :-) I was down the rink today watching a guy performing a really neat Waltz Jump which is where you'd start on jumps and even that's a pipe dream hahahahaha. As for the guitar, I'm so happy it plays well because I really like the finish - especially on something that won't break the bank. Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi Peter :-) I just had a look at some Mick Ones images and you're quite right. It also looks like he's still got the same guitar, too. Yes, I love the finish, too. Have a great weekend too. Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi Chris :-) You are the first person to have noticed the strap/guitar thing hahahahahaha. Well, you wouldn't got out in a black suit and wear brown shoes, would you? Although my dad did - he had sartorial dyslexia! I have to say that these guitars look a million dollars and the intonation is as good as a fretted instrument can be. Well worth the money providing you're prepared to put a bit of work into it. Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi Mick and thanks :-) Yes, I love the finish! It's a beautiful cherry sunburst. You seem to get an awful lot of guitar for your money with these and they can all be set up to play nicely with a bit of work. Take care too mate. Cheers, Gary :-)

Hi Rod :-) I like the neck question. The HB necks I've played feel like a chunky 50's profile. The Les Paul's I've played with a similar neck is the LPJ with the black pickup shrouds that look a bit like EMG's - I think from 2013. The Les Paul 100's don't have a chunky neck and what I always say is they have more 'real estate' on them as they're a bit wider. I like the 2015 models for the brass zero fret nut that's 100% adjustable with the turn of an Allen key and although the necks are wider and flatter (which makes vibrato action on the High E miles easier) they're actually pretty slinky. Not like an Ibanez Wizard or SG but slimmer than a Standard. If I were in your position I'd be off down the local music shop trying a bunch out. A thousand quid will get you a used Studio with change for a nice amp - even in a store I should think and you can't beat sitting one on your knee and falling for it. Cheers, Gary :- )

Hi David :-) Wow - thanks for the info! Yes, I get the analogy about the rebranded chocolate bars. They reckon that some supermarket 'own brands' are proper brands in generic packaging. So it certainly seems that these were worth the money for the part alone. I was hoping it was a maple cap so thanks for that :-) Cheers, Gary :-)
