Παλι κοροϊδο ηταν. Τι ακριβως εχει αυτή η κιθαρα που κανει $500000? Η εμφανιση, ο ηχος, η "ιστορια"? Yeah right.
(Μονο αν το πουλησει πιο πολύ θα του φυγει η ταμπελα του κοροϊδου)
Ακριβώς!!! Με οποιανδήποτε καλή Les Paul και να έπαιζε ο Green, τον ίδιο καλό ήχο θα είχε και αυτό το ήξερε καλά ο Peter, γι' αυτό και την έδωσε ελαφριά τη καρδία....
Εδώ ακούμε κιθάρα, ενισχυτή και πάνω απ' όλα τα δάκτυλα του Green...
Και φυσικά στα δάκτυλα του μετέπειτα ιδιοκτήτη της Gary Moore, ακουγόταν τελείως διαφορετικά...
Εδώ ένα απόσπασμα από μια συνέντευξη του Jol Dantzig...
To be honest, when Moore played, it sounded a lot like Gary Moore even when he channeled Green’s licks. When it was my turn, I did my best to replicate Green’s signature riffs on the very instrument that made the recordings I’d learned from. Moore managed to be gracious about my playing. Still, with both of the guitar’s pickups selected, we acknowledged that something was special about the tone. If it had been any other guitar, we might have stopped there
A pickup creates current through the use of a magnetic field coupled with coils of wire. Both the wiring and the orientation of the magnetic poles determine polarity. If you alter either of these, you change the phase of the pickup relative to another pickup. So, with the wiring intact, I decided to test the magnetic polarity with a compass. Bingo! The magnet was reversed on one pickup. Because the pickup internals looked undisturbed, I concluded that it must have been a mistake at the factory. With
Gibson having made over ten thousand electric guitars that year, the odds of the mistake showing up in Green’s guitar seems incredible. But strangely enough, Joe Bonamassa recently acquired an original ’burst with the same condition!
Much to my surprise, the story of my examination of the Green/Moore guitar has now entered the lore surrounding the instrument, which explains the stream of inquiries. As for the Peter Green tone—here’s one more sidebar. Not long after our meeting, Moore received delivery of a guitar we’d built for him. It was equipped with Slammer humbuckers designed for me by Steve Blucher. Standing on the shop’s loading dock, I took a call from Moore who was almost screaming with enthusiasm. “What pickups are in this guitar?” he demanded. “They sound better than Greenie’s guitar!” He asked me to ship him a half dozen sets immediately for his other guitars. I agreed and hung up the phone, but the depth of his statement didn’t sink in for a few days. I laughed as I realized that tone is often “Greener” on the other side.
Όπως καταλαβαίνουμε, πρόκειται για μία καλή κιθάρα σίγουρα...
που όμως κι αυτή όπως και τόσες άλλες διάσημες, δεν δικαιολογούν με τίποτα την εξωφρενική τιμή τους.
Μια πολύ καλά κατασκευασμένη φούσκα, με όλο αυτό το vintage περιτύλιγμα, σε μια εποχή που αλλάζει τόσο γρήγορα και άλλο τόσο γρήγορα δημιουργεί 'μύθους'!!!
