Horrid GAS- Any Gibson 295 Players?

goldtopper · May 10th, 2008, 10:21 PM

Gosh I'd love a 295 with P90's. Anyone have one out there that can reasonably talk me out of it?
I love everything about them, with the very *possible* exception of the trapeze tailpiece. I have had TTP's before, but normally am more comfortable with a stop tail pice.
Any love out there??

Hm. Lemme think. I have a 150 and a 335. What's 335 minus 150?...

PS - Without a trapeze, how can you swing?

I recently bought an ES 295.
I much prefer the Bigsby loaded models- understand completely about the trapeze.

There is a thread about my new purchase somewhere on the Bad Dog Cafe- but let me say I am overjoyed to have this guitar.

Obligatory guitar pr0n:

If they came with the trapeze/wraparound thing, they'd be irresistable. Fortunately, the Bigsby makes them resistable for me.
