Chibson imports...

[NancyJohnson]

I've bought a couple of knock off Fender Jazz/Precision necks in the last year, but have never gone the whole hog with a completed guitar.

 

I'd sold a few books pre-Christmas, had a little surplus and decided to take the plunge.  I've always adored the original Gibson Futura shape (with the split headstock), so pulled the trigger on this:

 

 

So long as the body and neck are OK, everything else is dispensable.

 

Gawd help me.

They're often not terrible to be fair. Ive had a few Chibsons over the years and most have been perfectly decent players - some easily at Epiphone Les Paul level. The ones with set necks and the binding over the fret ends are the best IMO. Most convincing too if you want to be convincing. Good luck sir, hopefully you'll get a good'un!

Tricky shape to cut into firewood 😛

 

I hope it turns out ok. I’ve got no idea how this works, if it’s knackered can you send it back or are you stuck?
