Thinking of trading my R30 combo in for a Gibby 60s....

Tribute Les Paul. Honey Burst. This thing has taken me visually. I want to play one.

EDIT: And just so people get to see my insanity, this is the guitar:

Fair trade value-wise. But, I would miss my Rocker too much. I know you rarely use your's so if you don't want to explain a 1K purchase to the wifey.....trade away. You won't get enough at a shop though. You'll have to sell your combo and buy a guitar, or find someone who has one and already wants to get rid of it (unlikely since they're so new)

If you sell your R30 combo and buy a R30 head, I'll buy that from you!

The 60s tribute guitars from Gibson are all pretty cool. I've tried one and liked it. The SGs with p90s seem solid also. I like my LP special even though it's not technically one of them. Maybe gonna put some Lollars in tonight, or at the very least wire wire up the replacement pot circuit. Giving 50s wiring a try before putting in a treble bleed to see if it actually helps.


Anyways, be warned that if you sell your R30 you'll have to pick up another Orange in the near future. Forum rules!

[Neiloler]

Haha, I'll pick another up sometime in the future, sure, sure.

I was thinking of either finding one used, not likely for a littlewhile, or seeing if I can trade it into Git Center, which wouldn't likely be cost effective. I'm thinking it's going to have be sold first.

Don't play one - that will make you buy one .

I don't play my Rocker 30 very much either, but it's not for a lack of awesomeness. I have thought about selling it to someone who would make good use of it, but I think I would miss it as soon as it was gone.

How many guitars and how many amps do you have? If shifting the Rocker 30 would only leave you with the Carvin for gigs, I'd say don't do it. Every pro musician needs a good backup amp.

[Neiloler]

I've thought about the idea of a backup, that is a concern. The other thing I'd like to do is build/buy a Deluxe Reverb. A LP into one of themselves would sound lovely, especially the P90s.

I'm at this transitional period where I feel I need to cut the fat out and move forward. The Rocker is great, I enjoy it, but I don't long to play it anymore. I need thicker tones that it seems to want to give me on the clean channel, and I want less distortion than it gives on the dirty channel.

Made it happen. Here's wishing it sells high.

[jason41224]

bill it as a rare collectors piece. it's working so far as i'm selling my 80's Carvin head

if you do sell it, i wish you luck on that Les Paul. that honey burst caught my eye as soon as those came out. absolutely gorgeous guitar.

Nice posting- if I were shopping for one I wouldn't hesitate to buy that one as listed. Some people make their ebay postings pretty terrible and it makes me wary to buy. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks dude. I figure it's the difference of a few words and a few more pictures, and it makes a big difference in people trusting you as a seller. I know I'm honest, but it's a trick/art to help other people understand that.

I just passed on bidding on a R30 head on ebay because I didn't get the right feeling from the seller. His pictures were poor quality, and there was very little to the description. I mailed him asking about the condition, if there were any nicks/blemishes that you couldn't see from the pics. He said it was in basically mint condition, and could take more pics if I wanted. I said that's ok, I don't need more pics, but I still didn't have a good feeling about it- so I passed. I prefer to know the story behind the amp, why the seller is selling, how frequently it was used, etc, without having to play detective or 20 questions with the seller. IMO spending the extra 10 minutes taking extra pictures and typing up a clear/precise description makes your item worth like 10% more to sellers.

I have one of the 50s tributes in the honey burst. It gets so much love at every show. The other guitarist plays a legit artist tribute from the 80s with a gold top mini humbucker/p90 and bigsby. Full Neil Young replica and dudes come talk to me about my 2009 $800 LP

You will probably need to put a new switch in it so factor that into the price.

[brianr0131]

Very fair price and honest well written listing Neil. I hope you get what you want. Also, I hope you don't miss the Rocker like I would.

Good Luck!

I've been GASing for one of these myself. At first, I really wanted the goldtop, but now I'm thinking I like the worn ebony finish the most, just looks really classic and obviously a little less flashy than the goldtop.

Hope you're able to get one! But mostly so you can do a video review for us...
