NPD (New Plecky Day)

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

I visited the Gibson Garage in London yesterday after touring Denmark Street. I have been to the garage a few times before so I knew not to expect to see many basses — there were probably about half a dozen on display.

 

I ended up buying a beautiful cherry 'inspired by gibson custom' epiphone firebird and couple of t-shirts, and the branded pleckies that are offered when trying an instrument are a cool touch.

 

I didn't want the hassle of lugging the huge firebird hard case back home on the tube & bus, so it will be delivered on Tuesday or Wednesday next week. (when the missus will be back at work.)

Probably my favourite guitar shape of all time.

Mine too — this will replace my existing firebird which is a fantastic instrument, but having grovers instead of banjo tuners has always bugged me.
