Hahaha!


Interesting LP. Does the neck have a scarf joint & a heel cap? Any pics of the cavities?

 

[marcusnieman]

Nice... the elusive Limited Edition model from Mikes Music.

Great guitars.....MIK to MIJ specs.

I'll post pix of the neck joint. Although I've been playing for over 20 years, I don't know much about guitar construction...somebody posted: uh oh ducking for cover...why?

I don't have pix of the cavities, but I can make it happen. Any info you guys could provide would be great! Thanks.

 

[epex64]

I researched it...scarf joint. pix tomorrow!

Wow. I did not realize such controversy surrounded this instrument! First, thanks for the link. I have to disagree with the gentleman that referred to it as firewood. Haha. It's served me well in the 6 years I've owned it. In fact, I toured with Murphy's Law and some other bands and I still have not had it set up. It is probably ready for one now though...

Here's a little more history. This git was originally obtained by Eric "Roscoe" Ambel in the early 2000's. (I don't know where he got it). Roscoe used it for a spell, but then got a Gibson endorsement when he started playing with Steve Earle. Roscoe sold it to my drummer, who basically mounted on his wall for a few years...I bought it in 2005.

I'm saying this guitar is rare because I cannot find another on the market. I'm sure there's plenty out there, but it looks like nobody wants to part with 'em. I don't really want to either, but I need the dough...Anyway, I have no data to determine market value. I'm gonna let it sit here, but I'm listing it on fleabay later tonite...I have it on NYC C-list. Thanks for the input and feel free to add more comments. Here's a link for ya: I fucked up the solo but it was my 2nd gig with ML:

They are good guitars... I had the goldtop and one of the 59 models. Forgot about that long thread discussing them. I'm guitly of the hype as well.....

 

[epex64]

I can't find production numbers. Anybody have any idea how many were made?

 

[jacco]

No for they all had the same production number..
