I had a chance to get this the other day ,but I snoozed and losed

hollywoodrox

I’m a big Tommy Heinriksen fan ,he’s a cool dude and I love Alice cooper band / Hollywood vampires 
  And some of his solo projects even , like Crossbone Skully etc .

  Anyway I was a bit dubious as it was strung with 12’s & I thought my god it probably might not be able to be set up for 9’s because it looks. Bit of a lash up as it’s a Gretsch conversion by Palermo or something .

Anyway next day I looked someone had snapped it up. Leaving me feeling somewhat dismayed . It would have been ace to have & it’s been played by him on stage & there’s lots of pics of him with it . Kinda sad .

It just occurred to me I wonder if Essex dude bought it ,I hope he doesn’t triple the price he bought it for.

He knows better than to try that sort of thing.

It'll be 30x.

@hollywoodrox did it go for big money, if you don't mind me asking?

hollywoodrox

It was a fixed price . £1595  and I’ve got most owing to selling some stuff on eBay using the 
  80% special offer & a small windfall . 

I thought it was a good price for a player who I like from two bands that are quite famous 
eg Alice cooper & Hollywood vampires 

Heres  a link to the advert

I haven't heard of Palermo as a brand, but it reminds me of some of the Rock N Roll Relics models.  That does seem a very decent price, sorry you missed out in it!

Yeah, but he'd just try to sell it based on my fame.

I love rock n roll relics , they do a Johnny thunders one and I like one used by a guy called Ace von Johnson which is a Les Paul one with a black & white Stars and Stripes , then Gilby Clarke of guns n roses plays them too I think . There are a few for sale here but not the particular ones I like.

yes I thought that was very reasonable & it’s clearly his as its spot on in the picture 
there’s just been a white 335 one sold in America too

Yes he’d probably get it printed out and do a limited edition Giclee print lol

Nice, I take it that’s a modded Malcolm Young sig of sorts? I lose track of the Gretsch iterations

Yes , from what I could make of it

That seems very well-priced. Sorry you missed it.

Wow that’s VERY cool! I’m a MASSIVE Alice fan, so have seen Tommy play loads of times over the years now’  and also with the vampires… I would have definitely had a punt on that myself - damn shame you missed it @hollywoodrox

Mike Palermo builds a lot of his guitars.

I didn’t know that, I was initially worried it was a copy like the painted player do ,it seemed such a good price for a player of tommys stature

I was looking at some of the clips on Palermo's channel and wasn't quite sure what he does... am I right in thinking that they're not new builds, but existing guitars which he customises, relics and in some cases puts a Palermo brand on?  I guess that reduces the value of the original guitar, but then the value depends on how much the customer wants to pay for the mods and/or artist association.

Yeah’ think that’s the case? Certainly Henricksen’s SG’s are… Think his done some guitars for Joe Perry now as well, along with others.
He definitely builds replicas to order, looking at his website.

I'm a bit confused too.   

I don't often criticize others, but I'm struggling to see beyond the sort of poorly aged partscasters that regularly pop up on ebay. 

I'm sure they look fun on stage and I don't mind extreme relic as an aesthetic choice so good luck to him

Brilliant thanks .
i should be looking at an SG but I bought one once & couldn’t get used to the neck ,it seemed very very long & somehow in the wrong place . I know it’s an illusion but I found it weird
