A TASTY PIECE
2003
Gibson TV Special
It is a new guitar, but has a very thin matt 'Limed Mahogany' finish
which isn't too durable,
and the digital pic over-emphasizes the stain imbalance on the front.
It is equipped with a pair of P90s which sound brilliant
!
The Mahogany body is only 1 1/2" thick, which is quite a bit thinner than
the originals,
but it does resonate really well.
Unfortunately from new the 'fret finishing' wasn't too great, but with with a
little care
and attention the fret ends were re-finished and intonation sorted.
This is a very nice guitar, but would be greatly improved if the frets were 'dressed' as
well.
I wouldn't mind having this guitar at all.
