Some tasty DCs available in the classifieds

This for £1800 - Gibson


Or this for £1300 - Rock n roll relics


So which would you go for?

Is it just me, or do the pickups on the RnRR one look much too close together?

Wow - missed that one. Quite spendy though.

Similar vibe but much less money

Whichever one weighs less!

All lovely. 

I wouldn't sell them if they were mine.

from the one's posted so far, the first one for me, Gibson Historic DC Special,  with the correct size, small headstock

I think that may be '61 position, v3?  I would go for this one because of 'neck' pickup placement, would sound cool under a load of dirt

Having said that, cost no object, the '59 refurb without a doubt

I think the neck pickup in V1 or V2 position sounds better than the V3. More body to it. Not much difference between V1 and V2 when I tried one of each type of DC, alternating into the same amp.

Or get @miserneil to make you one. It would be better then any of the modern ones, that’s for sure.
