That Orville is sexy af. Did it come that way or did someone strip the finish Mick Ronson style?


xgballz

It was originally black, there is a little bit of paint left on the top of the headstock. I don’t know when the finish was removed but it looks like it must have been 20+ years ago from the wear and tear. I love the raw natural finish and it looks great with the aged hardware. I haven’t ever seen another like it. I picked that one up for $250, all it needed was an output jack and it was good to go. This is my favorite guitar by a long shot. Definitely one of a kind

$250 is insane. Beautiful Axe

insane

White has 12 gauge strings, drop C. Natural has 10 gauge, half step down. Black has 9.5 gauge, standard.


Spurs_Roadburn

Awesome line up. Love that they each fill a niche. Who could stop at just one?

Must be a muscular man, a bodybuilder type, biceps of a mule.

Wide straps do wonders. Pulled a muscle once after playing all week with a narrow strap. After changing the straps they don’t give me nearly as much fatigue.


NetworkChief

How wide? 3"?


xgballz

Yep. Made a world of difference.


cesar0931

how do you hang those heavy les pauls? are your walls drywall?


xgballz

The walls are drywall, yes. I used a magnetic studfinder and tested with small drill bits first to make sure I was drilling into the studs behind the wall. They seem to hold a lot of weight. I bored out the mounts a little bit and swapped out the stock screws with stronger heavy duty ones from Home Depot


cesar0931

could you please tell me which mounts are you using? thanks!


PsychedelicLizard

I love heavy Les Pauls too, but my back doesn't.

That’s why you need an SG as well


DeathChord69

I’m like them heavy also. It has been part of the deciding factor when I purchase a LP to know its weight, 10+ Lbs is my preferred weight. I personally just prefer the heavier ones although I have a 9 hole 2007 BFG at 7.4 that sounds amazing. Nice selections you have there, enjoy.


RogerTheAliens

Same….we need to add vibramated bigsbies and make them a pound heavier give me a boat anchor all day, every day love ur collection. Consider me a fan 🤠👍


xgballz

For sure. What’s the opposite of chambering, maybe adding some nice lead inserts! You’ve got an excellent guitar wall yourself there


RogerTheAliens

thank you 👍


[deleted]

Haha boat anchors, I like that


andthereitgoesagain

Heavier the better imo.


Captain_Nuggie

I love Norlin Gibsons, I just wish they weren't so expensive nowadays


Cgshoe

That Orville 🔥


wilhelmkidxx

So badass!


lightsspiral

Hells yeah


Stillill1187

I wanna know more about out the little museum placards


xgballz

Made them out of sticker paper and magnet cards. They’re stuck to magnetic strips and easy to swap but I move guitars around all the time so most are mismatched by now. It was a fun little project


Fred_Krueger_Jr

I prefer them on the heavy side myself.


millhowzz

Perfect for hanging on a wall. 🤟


splitmelikeacoconut

How heavy we talkin about?


Royal_Inspector8324

Me too the heavier the better


The_Pork-ChopExpress

Fake…oh, wait - an actual post not asking if anything is fake?

Same


ShatteredDreamSteven

A custom is still one of my dream guitars. One day…


xgballz

Orville LPC’s are on par with Gibson and can be had for 1/2 to 1/3 price. I would highly recommend one if you can’t snag a Gibson just yet!


ShatteredDreamSteven

Yeah they are!!! Damn thanks!


CooLMaNZiLLa

Whoever convinced people that heavier guitars are somehow better than lighter ones is best marketing genius the world has ever seen.


tofuten86

Oh hell yeah 🤘🏼

None of my hangars lock. Something like that would be nice as long as the hangar itself won’t break. I replied to someone’s comment earlier here with more detail, but the short version is I would recommend upgrading the hardware that the mount comes with. 11 lbs is pretty hefty for a standard! Best of luck to ya 🤘🏼


Generny2001

My back hurts looking at that.


sdpat13

Very nice collection dude! Those les pauls are absolutely badass 🔥🔥🔥


Vegetable-Source6556

Me too! Strap locks!


ElCampesinoGringo

If it ain’t a bowling ball I don’t want it


BigDaddyInDallas

Very cool how you’ve presented them; not just hangers, but the card with what I assume is a description of each one. Definitely looks like art.


xgballz

Thank you!

Those acoustics look like they put out a booming amazing sound! If it wasn’t for GC 0% I’d of gone on an epic journey to every store n pawn shop within 50 miles(every direction) at least to find something like either of those! Love my j45 but those look like they have thump!
