@duffman18 4 года назад

Yeah it reminds me a lot of the Les Paul Recording, which was the kind of les Paul that Les Paul himself used to play. It's got all these added electronics and things in them, I believe this Artist model was actually inspired by the Recording model. But yeah the Recording had two output Jack's for stereo play, and boosting and cutting of various frequencies, and very unique pickups that have never been imitated or put in any other guitar, those Recording models sound absolutely beautiful and the only way to get those pickups is to get a vintage Recording model for $10,000 or whatever. I'm hoping Lollar will make some new modern version of those pickups, like how they made new Charlie Christian pickups

The Knack broke the Top 100 with "My Sharona" in 1979 as well as Queen with "Fat Bottomed Girls" that same year. Sweet hit with "Ballroom Blitz" in 75. Crazy Horse had a smash in '79 with "Rust Never Sleeps" which would sound cool on that guitar. Rock music was beginning to lose out to Disco; but, there was some good guitar back then. We survived. There will always be guitar music. Always.

@snuffygrunt2842 5 лет назад

jonathanlovitt - They were refreshing at that time. As were others. Such as The Pretenders. The Heart Breakers. The Clash. Guitar bands. Good stuff. "Disco Sucks" was the battle cry. ACDC became one of my favorites.. only to find out Bon Scott would soon be dead. That was a drag, but they came back hard as ever. These days I'm amazed. Some of these kids can shred. Insanely. Guitar music will never die.

Holds notes for days, and can play rock, country or anything in between. It’s heavy, but who the fuck cares when you have the best Les Paul ever in your hands. Get a padded strap for fucks sake.

Steve Khan recorded his classic solo on Steely Dan’s Glamour Profession with an ES version of the Artist series. The genuinely fine Artists IMO were those made by Ibanez from 1981-83 (or so). Well…made for Ibanez by Fuji-gen Gakki and Terada.

@johnclay3773 5 лет назад

Steve Howe also used the ES version of the Gibson Artist on Asia's first tour - I don't think he ever recorded with them, but with all the switches he could cover the tones of many of the guitars he used in the studio with one guitar. I think he had 3 of them for that tour - and he added an upper pickguard to his (i.e. a second pickguard on the bass side of the guitar).

@chrisjames1924 5 лет назад

For the record these things were above Les Paul Custom guitars at the time. They cost more. Were top of the line. The most expensive NEW electric guitar either Fender or Gibson sold. But, it bombed. Nobody wanted them, and up until quite recently could be had for under $1000. The sustain on mine was unlike anything I'd ever encountered in a LP - just out of this world. Also, the fret board was to die for. It was like gliding across silk. It was that good. If you find one in the UK for under £2500 - BUY IT! In the US they can be had for quite a bit less.
