Campbell's custom


This was announced recently- Vivian Campbell's Custom Shop signature Gibson LP. The fingerboard is still a non-wood selection (richlite) but I like the fact that there are DiMarzios in there (Super 3/ Super Distortion). It reflects the endorser's choice & not something steered by the manufacturer. In my opinion, Mr. Campbell deserves this deal but for the rest of us, the USD4,999 price tag is prohibitive. But then again, we remind ourselves that, at the rate things are going, they need the money.

Sure is pretty! Funny one of my cheaper guitars with an ebony fretboard developed a hairline crack, spanning three frets. I thought to myself richlite would never do this! lol. Though, Id rather have the ebony board with a repaired hairline crack...
