Orville by Gibson Ebony 57 Les Paul RI & Korean Peerless Epiphone Dot

Fifty9

Hi folks,

I'm having a bit of a clear out as I've simply got too many and depending on interest, will let one or two of these go. Pretty firm on price but don't be shy if you've an offer thats reasonably close. There are minor nicks / play-wear but none have issues that require repair of any kind.

Dot - £375

(Natural, Peerless factory, USA Gibson 57 Classic pups, chunky neck, v thin finish, nice grain, original hard case).

I had a nice Chinese Dot but this one has a much more solid & well put together feel to it & is generally better finished.

@Fifty9 - just click in the box that says "Direct Link" and that will automatically copy the link, then switch to the text box here and paste it.

Lots of people get grief with PhotoBucket nowadays, so your ad will be a lot more popular if you embed the pics here.

nice pics - what's the headstock logo on the goldtop?

Orville if I'm reading the pics right?

Looked like navigator? Either way, doesn't seem to be in the op's list

Oops, that might be my doing.

I just picked on one of the pics in the PB link and posted it here to demonstrate that it was possible to embed the pic in the thread.  I didn't check that all the pics related to the ad ...

So now I want to know the price of *that* guitar!

Fifty9

Sorry fellas. The GT is a navigator but isn't currently for sale as you've spotted matt. Only had it a few months and I've never played a guitar as nice. Simply stunning. 

http://www.espguitars.co.jp/navigator/nlpstdp.html  - better spec than a Gibby 56 RI, better quality & finish than the 58 VOS I had and at current FX rates, ahem ... £2850 new...

I've the one folder for guitars on photobucket so shared that as I wasn't getting the pic embedding. Sorry for the confusion & will have another crack at embedding the pics.

I'm basically having a bout of anti-gas. I'll not get the same quality for price again on a les paul, 335 or tele but its just one of those things.

Wow..Well, looks great, didn't know they existed :-)

I have the Navigator Goldtop and it's awesome. I'd love to buy another one if it's ever for sale. Interested in the ObG too

Fifty9

Hey there Hydra. 

So your post has caught me in a bit of a moment of weakness as I've been considering moving the Navi on this morning to raise funds - it's the most valuable I have. Really not sure tho as its also comfortably the best and I'll not get one like this again almost certainly.

We're both in London tho right? Wanna meet sometime soon & check them out?

Hydra19

Yes, please. I am looking for another Navigator Goldtop with P90's but I won't keep the P90's, will try some mini's. Please do let me know. I'm leaving the country for good in a month and my last goal is to get another Navigator 

Hydra19

How is the sale of the ObG coming along? I might hold off on the 2nd Navi for know and then this ObG seems very attractive, all the more so if it can get to SW London

Fifty9

Hey Hydra,

Still got it. Only trade offers so far and for nothing I particularly need. After a nice amp only. I'll let you know should I get it to London soon.

Cheers,
