'78 Professional 2671
ganda nito. is it supposed to be a lespaul ? how does it sound... kinda reminds me of a Zemaitis, except he didn't make archtops...
The only similarity between this and a Les Paul is the general shape, generally heavy weight, and that it plays like butter. Otherwise, it's a totally different guitar:
• "German Carved" top designed by Roger Rossmeissl of Rickenbacker & later Fender fame
• Solid Zen Ash body, thinner overall than an LP
• Maple neck
• Heel-less neck to body joint
• Ebony board
• Coil-tap / phase switch
• Solid plated brass control cavities behind
• Scalloped headstock
• "Almost jumbo" frets
It's a very versatile, bright and spanky guitar that sustains forever. It was Ibby's top of the line of the Artist-Professional series, commonly referred to as the "Randy Scruggs" model after the famed bluegrass picker who endorsed it and used it almost exclusively during that period. Two sets with this baby and you'll walk off the stage about 2 inches shorter. Kind of like 70's Les Pauls in the 10 lb. range.
^ chambered kaya?
No chambers. Parang bato 'to. Made in the era when people believed that "mass is the gas", "heavy=sustain", and "brass is the monkey's ass".
