I dug Frampton with Humble Pie. I guess he had to leave his balls with Marriott when he left.

I thought Frampton played a Les Paul Standard, no?

Very nice!

How did Schenker miss out on the opportunity to have Gibson do one of his Vs?
Bad apples for agents and business manager that cut the deal with Dean to put out those signature boat anchors, instead of the gear he actually plays. STUPID!!

Would have been cool...

[Hardrock69]

No shit.
But Mikey is a virtuoso on guitar, a sucker on business matters.

You ain't kidding. Here are some of his other classic lousy decisions.

1."Why should I stay with my brothers gay band? Scorpions will never amount to anything?"

2.UFO? Ah fuck it, I can do better on my own.

3. Hang up on Ozzy when he calls to ask for my help after he lost his guitarist.

4. "I think the mountainman- homeless look will help me sell more of these shitty Dean Flying Vs."

Damn shame man. One of my favorite guitarists...

LMAO!

I would say it is more of a "homeless-bum" look than anything else.

Though when I met him in 1999, he was looking pretty sharp.

No. That is the Peter Frampton Signature Model.

The "Inspired By" Frampton Guitar is different.

Signature Model:

The V looks great, but I guess its success, at least here, will be a victim of Gibson´s pricing policy.

I might check out if some of them show up on Costco´s website!

Reminds me of the Ace Frehley signature model they made...only with a paint job.
