Signature Model: Steve Clark

[RockNRoll89]

only if there is no kahler

Why? The kahler is pretty coo actually...at least i think

I contacted Gibson, and they said that it could be a possible limited run guitar, but they need more evidence that people will buy it and that it will sell. Any ideas?

I'd love one, but it would be too pricey for me, just like the Randy Rhoads model which is one of my dream guitars. Sorry I know that's no help. I would love to see a Steve Tribute made.

I would rather see Vivian Campbell get a Les Paul deal.

Oh yeah, the guy plays an LP on Holy Diver so he deserves a Sig guitar......

Viv was the first one to bail and play super strats during the 80's.

The guy has a track record. Got his feeling hurt because Phil Lynott chose Sykes for Thin Lizzy of him. He was very vocal and talked smack. Then he and Dio have a falling out and he leaves (he says he was kicked out) so he goes on to play in various bands and then stands around in DL playing "pour some sugar on me" and "Hysteria". See the trend? What a douche.

Don't forget Ronnie Dio said "He's an F'in A-hole"

So let him have a Kramer Nightswan sig...............

I had the pleasure of meeting Steve and the rest of the band in 1981 during the High n Dry tour. They had played the Wintergarden in Dallas, TX and were hanging out by their tour bus afterward. They were still a raw hungry rock band back then, prior to being transformed into a commercial money machine by Mutt Lange, Joe Elliot and Rick Savage.

Steve, Rick and Pete were just guys playing and a rock band and they loved it. Sav and Joe were already trying to be "Rock Stars".

Although they were not the same band I had seen in 1980 and 1981 when Steve passed, it was truly a sad day for me. Lots of questions that only Steve can answer. Money does not buy happiness or a sense of fulfillment.

I would buy the sig LP out of respect for the work this man did during his career and in remembrance of his spirit.

Awww the good ole days. What a great band back then,

So how did you get on with this? Gibson will soon run out of colors to dye the Slash models and may need a new idea.

GIBSON is to busy making sig models for guitarists with mass appeal like DJ Ashba (sarcasm intended),I if they can make a sig guitar for him why not Clark he shurely contributed more to rock then ashba
speaking of sig models , you would think Gibson would have done a Chuck Berry model, talk about being loyal to Gibson for so many years

I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

And I have one.

So, counting the original, Taylor Barefoot's Gibson and my Epiphone, there's three of these in the world so far as I can tell. Anyone else? I saw one upthread that had the three pickups and Kahler, but it still had pickup covers and black accouterments, so I don't entirely count it.



Oh, and uh... bump!

I came to this thread thinking one was already there ...

He changes Steves parts up and makes them his own. He is also the best guitarist that has ever laced em up in that band...he holds back big time Viv's work in Dio was godlike...he deserves a Les Paul on his own, regardless of DL membership.

He also beat up Danzig over a bowl of soup....which earns him cool points.

On rumored fight between the DEF LEPPARD and DANZIG camps at a European festival back in 1993:

"He [Danzig] made a rude comment to my wife, and somebody, not me, gave him a bit of a kick from behind, and I guess he was mad about his soup getting spilt. It must've been really good soup for him to get that upset, but it was Germany, so the soup probably couldn't have been that good; it was probably really, really dark, with all sorts of nasty stuff in it. Anyway, Phil Collen (Vivian's fellow DEF LEP guitarist) was ready to go — he's a black belt in karate, but Danzig backed down. It really was over nothing, other than that bowl of soup."
