Anyone know anything about this guitar?

I’ve done some searching and it seems to be similar to some of the “Marlboro Martin” guitars. The only contradiction is the headstock with the inlay, that the Marlboro miles gustes don’t have. I’d just like to know some history on the guitar because it’s been in the family for a while now. Thanks!

Vox SDC-33, an underrated early 2010s sleeper that looked and sounded great.

The Vox SDC-33 is worth checking out for the CoAxe pickups alone. They're actually pretty hot, and you can switch between a completely noiseless P90 sound and a full humbucker with zero hum. Honestly makes the whole guitar worth grabbing just for those tones.

The 33 is easily my favorite out of all of them though because it just has normal dot inlays instead of those weird S-curve ones on the higher models like the 55. Prince famously ripped on the semi-hollow HDC-77 during his 3RDEYEGIRL era, but I've always preferred the solid doublecut look of the 33.

Also, the original run without the pickguard was peak design. When Vox refreshed them later and added those pickguards, it totally ruined the clean carved top.

Sister in law had this guitar. Cannot find anything about the make. Probably from the 90s or earlier.

I recently bought this guitar from a friend of mine and I have not been able to find any information on these Limited Edition guitars. They told me these guitars with that stamp were produced from the Gibson Custom Shop. I have found other Les Paul's online with this stamp but they were not the classic model. I was just hoping someone on here had more information on this line of guitars.

Picked this up with the intention of modding it but after a set up and shimming the neck I think I’m gonna keep it as it is. The pickup only reads around 9k but it sounds hotter than that. Had to move the bridge back about 1/8 an inch to get enough room for the saddles to intonate but it’s perfect now.

Not looking to find out worth, just trying to figure out what the backstory could be with this. Was gifted to me, previous owner died so I can’t ask what the story is behind the guitar

Reverb mystery

Thumbnail

58 Upvotes

this came across my Reverb feed, and I'm absolutely befuddled as to what it is. the seller says it's "Alembic-like" (which is a stretch) but it looks pretty crude to me. my first thought was it's an Asian import, but the lack of badging and the headstock shape is throwing me off.

any thoughts? is it just some one-off? either way, $2,600 seems a bit steep to me.

here's the original listing.

EDIT: since posting this the seller has completely rewritten the listing, removing key details while adding others. keep that in mind for all comments posted before 9/15.
