Hi All
I've just joined the forum after receiving the link to this site in a nice reply from Maree at Japanese Vintage Guitars.
I've had a quick look around and there are some amazing collections here - very impressive!
I'm looking for some information about my Orville by Gibson Les Paul Custom which I bought about 18 months ago. I must confess to being more of an acoustic guitarist, so I've never really got attached to this guitar, despite the fact that I think it looks great and plays really well - therefore, I'm thinking of trading it in for something extravagant, as I've never really had a top notch acoustic before. Having said that, Maree from JVG said some encouraging things about the look of my guitar that have actually given me pause for thought as to whether I will sell it. Maybe I should start getting to know it better instead!
I hope you'll forgive me if I just ask what you think about this guitar, and what you think I may realistically expect to receive as a trade (or to sell) if I do go down that route so I don't get stung.
So, onto a description - the guitar is an Orville by Gibson Les Paul Custom, honeyburst quilt. I'm really unsure as to what pick-ups it has, or any other of the technicalities although it doesn't seem to have any fret edge binding. The serial number is G207592.
I'd appreciate it if one of you afficionados out there could have a look for me and give me some feedback. Here are some uploaded photos, so I hope you like it! Many thanks.
