What do I have

[James Mark Hatley]

I bought this when the brand was very new. Always loved the action. I’m interested in what it is. Model, etc.

Looking through the posts it may well be an RV-2. I knew at the time I should probably not have it bored out for the Schecter Tremolo but it was purchased instead of doing a custom neck Strat and I wanted to play it. It also has a graphite nut. The locking nut was removed. Always stayed in tune better without it. Everything else is original. Matt Tap at Garland, Arnold & Morgan did the custom work.

I've also got a unique ES347 from '81. It is an Ivory finish, and not listed in the Gibson registry. I was told Jimmy Wallace was involved with creating a few in this finish as an Alex Lifeson tribute.

I've destroyed my wrist and am too sad to play much anymore. I would love to find a home for these, but don't know how they would price in todays market.
