:rotflmao: floyd roses and EMG's. thats awesome

 

[oldguy]

That's some of the best funny I've seen in awhile..........and they deserve every bit. I esp. like the "torque screws" bit.

The D-tuna and EVH dive bomb references cracked me up.

I'll go ahead and say it. No banjo is worth $50,000. Ever.

haha "its a steal"

Sure there is. If you can get one to cover up the harmonica player it's worth 50K.

I stand corrected.

But what if the harmonica player is covering tot's levitating singing organ?

Actually the D-tuna joke is a bit silly. Earl Scruggs and Bill Keith developed a preset banjo tuner way back that allowed you to instantly tune up or down. It could be adjusted for a semitone or a tone in range. Adrian Legg uses them on guitar to great effect.

Here's an earlier version. See the second picture and accompanying text

Other than that, :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

It would have to be a BIG harmonica.

 

[ZMAN]

I bet those people find it hard to talk now with their tongues buried so deeply in their cheeks.

 

[FrankenFretter]

Another fine Gibson product that has not had the price artificially inflated at all. Those folks must be losing their collective shirts on this one. Makes me wonder if there'll be an Epi version for only $30k...?

Men scream & women swoon when I'm about to break into song.

I've never figured out why.

 

[SuperSwede]

Excellent reviews, thanks spud

welcome to the bank.........your taking out a second mortgage to buy a banjo.

 

[ibanezjunkie]

lol i think the funniest part of this is...

$4996 per month price plan.

i dont know many people who make that much in a year.

 

[Trailer Park Casanova]

Wow $50 grand???
Guess Wayne Newton will be in the Cue for this baby.

The one and only positive thing about most guitar players being broke is it probably keeps instruments prices down.

That is some funny stuff! I really thought the price was a joke until I saw that http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Acoustic-Instruments/Banjo/Gibson-Original/The-Super-Earl.aspx has it listed for $55506 MSRP! :thwap
