A spooky little bump to soothe the terrors of the night.  Er, okay, just seeing if I can nudge the Wow’s over 20…..

I'd Wow it twice if I could

Thanks Steve.  I love it too.  It’s painful!

As an update, there was quite a lot of interest in this last week and various options offered.  Nothing has quite worked out yet but I’m now in a position to consider trades plus cash.  Many thanks for all the interest and appreciation of this fine guitar.

Hi, Are there any specifications online for this guitar?  I’m wondering if the neck is similar to the 57 LP which has a deep C shape.

These are what I've found for the current models on the Gibson site

https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Electric-Guitar/CUSI7K186/Double-Gold

They describe the neck as a '50's rounded C.  I'm not really a Gibson aficionado but I don't think they would have been vastly different for 2020.  From my own experience I don't experience this neck as being particularly chunky or baseball.  It feels slightly smaller to the R8's I've owned which is one of the things I like about it personally.  It feels just right to me, I like a 56V on a Fender so fairly big but not the Nocaster big.  This neck sits in the middle somewhere I think.

I've held off bumping this beautiful guitar as I'm not that keen to sell it (yeah, yeah, I know... ) but I thought I'd mention that I'm heading up north to Durham this weekend in case anyone along the way/north of the border might be interested?

Cheers Olly, I don't think it is unfortunately but thank you for the suggestion and close to the kind of thing I'll consider.
