There’s only one Gibson I really covet; a ‘54 LP Custom. Ever since I heard one amongst Gibsons of many years on a Johan Segeborn video, this particular model with its unique pickup arrangement really popped for me. It’s why I got my Tele with the Lollar Alnico Vs. Of course vintage ones are wildly expensive, and even the two reissues Gibson did over the years are pricey.
Now there’s a new secretive limited reissue to honor the Dutch legend Jan Akkerman, as outlined in this Trogly video. Of course there’s a catch. First the price. Not bad, all things considered, but more than my nonexistent budget allows. The second? You can only buy them from France or the Netherlands.
If only we knew someone in the Netherlands. (Of course, catch #1 still applies for me, so even that wouldn’t help.) But, one can always dream.
