Gibson gothic explorer II

[sg guy]

I am always looking for a first run GOTHIC or MENACE to fall through the cracks on the cheap,...

Don't mean to derail the thread but are the Menace models pretty good or rare even? I see a Menace Les Paul locally for sale around $700 with
OHSC. I thought it was some kind of fake chibson at first then later learned about the Menace models. It looks weird with all the grooves and stuff, and the Gibson logo with the heart/spider web looks cheesy... But I kinda dig cheesy lol

--the MENACE & VODOO line ups where supposed to replace the GOTHIC line up.... Sales didn't follow either like the GOTHIC's. So back they came as the GOTHIC MORTE

-I think every incarnation dropped a little in quality so the best guitars are first run GOTHIC's, hen the VODOO's, MENACE and finally Morte..

Thanks, I do like my 1st run Gothic SG... wish I was a bit more careful with it though, oh well.
