| Gladiator GG258 From the makers of Blueridge Guitars We got this guitar on 1/19/2011 It was a nail biting event just waiting for this thing to be delivered. I first noticed this in a Saga catalog somewhere in the middle just sitting there The moment i saw the picture, the asymetrical curl of the flame top figure, the smooth carve of the top, the lightly brown burst faded sunburst finish, I thought this guitar is reminiscent of an anniversary 1999 Tom Murphy dialed in LP. We can't call it what we'd like to call it but it is what it is And that it is a really nice well made guitar You pick this guitar up, it feels expensive. The Gladiator GG258 is a high end electric guitar It doesn't matter what name a guitar has on it's headstock, if it's made well, using seasoned well cared for woods, a good design and correct geometry and if it plays and sounds nice, then branding is irrelevant in this day and age. From the carve of the solid maple top, to the delicate carving of the binding along the ends of the frets, this guitar had a pre-determined destiny and that was to blow doors on guitars costing 3 times as much. The neck is quarter sawn mahogany and is topped off with very nice piece of quarter sawn rosewood with 22 medium sized frets and pearloid trapezoid inlays in the classic sense and layout Chrome plated Wilkinson humbuckers play a big part in transmitting the sound to the road in this guitar and they ring out true and clear with no microphonics at all. Chords are strong and phrased full, not individual messes like some guitars delivery and you cn feel the whole body resonate. This is due to a full neck tenon joint running right to the back edge of the rhythm pickup cavity, giving the string energy transfer rate full power. It sits on your body comfortably, not too heavy or light, just right, weighing in at about 8 1/2 lbs. Now to the look, the finish is a nicely graded faded brown sunburst, and the flame top ripples with an old look underneath. Not too perfect in the book matching, but that's what makes it look authentic. There were many original '58 and 59's that were mismatched and not even close, and that's what added to the magic. No one would have guessed that, that guitar at $249.50 with case would be what it is today. This guitar breathes that fire that those guitars did back then. While it's not dead on perfect in some small aspects, it's first impression makes you say Wow even more so when you play it. I took the guitar apart when i got it, looking for faults, couldn't find any but did find a solid 1/2" maple top and a deep tenon neck joint and the proper carve to the top and the neck heel. I just ordered three more of these, 2 in the same finish and the other in Vintage Cherry burst and I can't wait to see these others. These will quickly become an instant classic and sought after guitar There are only a few being produced right now and I believe I have 95% of them that have been built so far. Add on of these to your arsenal, you will play it all the time... Gladiator GG258 Vintage |
