It's a real Gibbo. They had it in UK Guitarist a couple of years ago. Great guitar.
What makes you say it was Rick Derringer? Never heard that one before! Sounds like Slash to me - on heroin probably, playing a bit fast, but still sounds like him 8)
Very cool guitar......
but you like Garage Inc? Seriously? :o
Just kidding. That guitar rocks, and looks a like like Hetfields cool customs without the $ 8 bajillion dollar price tag.
Dont know about the trussrod cover - I just left it as is. Pickups were usable, but I swapped em to Duncans anyway. I'd play it for a while before you decide to switch em!
I've had all the guitars you've mentioned there. I had a PRS Santana III with a ten top - it was a step above my friends McArty in terms of fit and finish. The best constructed guitar I've ever seen quite easily. But I sold it because it had no 'mojo' as you put it. I would definitely go towards...
I'm debating at the moment whether to sell this one. Seymour Duncan pickups, pro setup - absolutely wonderful guitar but I've got too many. So many I just sold off a lovely PRS this morning :cry:
