Anonymous asked: Hey guys, before I get to my question, I just want to let you guys know that I think you're great. You guys have great music, and you guys really stimulate the economy, I mean, every time I listen to you guys I have to go buy a new pair of pants. Any ways, Brendan, where did you get your Gibson Grabber from? I'm looking for one and they are really hard to find. Did you go somewhere specifically to buy yours, or did you just happen to find it after numerous trips to different music stores?
Hahaha, thanks for the post! We are glad you are diggin’~
As far as the Grabbers, I have had two of them. The first one was a ‘76 which was super heavy, really full sounding and just a total beast. I got this bad boy at a Guitar Center for $375.00 before the Grabber craze started.
I ended up buying my second one from my friend Gareth who is in Funeral For a Friend. He was getting exclusively endorsed by anotehr guitar company and wouldn’t be using it any more. Since he bought his because of my referral he gave me first right to refusal. I think I got it for like $450.00 but only because we were good friends. This one is a ‘78 I think and much much much lighter a little thinner in tone but really cuts through well and gets bpretty aggro sounding when distorted.
Good luck with the search!
