Location: Budd Lake, NJ | So, TJ, did you hang it up next to the thermostat so's it would help lower heating costs, or to rev up the air conditioner? ;) :D (I'm sorry; I'll be good now.)

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I just played one of those last week at a music store. Nice guitar (for a Gibson)
I also noticed a couple of those flame guitars going REALLY cheap on Ebay. It was tempting to bid on them, but I have other ideas higher on the list. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | i do not comprehend words that have that many letters in them , so what the fu#k does that word mean? Well, there's always Wiki:
A sphygmomanometer (pronounced /ˌsfɪɡmoʊməˈnɒmɨtər/ SFIG-moh-mə-NOM-i-tər) or blood pressure meter is a device used to measure blood pressure, comprising an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, and a mercury or mechanical manometer to measure the pressure. It is always used in conjunction with a means to determine at what pressure blood flow is just starting, and at what pressure it is unimpeded. Manual sphygmomanometers are used in conjunction with a stethoscope. The word comes from the Greek sphygmós (pulse), plus the scientific term manometer (pressure meter). The device was invented by Samuel Siegfried Karl Ritter von Basch in 1881.[1] Scipione Riva-Rocci introduced a more easily used version in 1896. Harvey Cushing discovered this device in 1901 and popularized it. A sphygmomanometer consists of an inflatable cuff, a measuring unit (the mercury manometer, or aneroid gauge), and inflation bulb and valve, for manual instruments. |

Location: South of most, North of few | GWB, and anyone else out there that doesn't know, that little white box on the wall is merely a combo thermometer / hygrometer. (hope I spelled that right) Just tells the temp and humidity in the room. It came with one of the guitars I bought from someone somewhere.... |

This isn't Orange, but I will have to see it in person.
And maybe I can discover what's the difference between a GCXT and a 1778T-RF
 
It is claimed to rarely be played, but it still has greasy fingerprints on it.
Listing and Description here...
But yeah... People keep posting pics of Flame T's and I get all nostalgic. :D |

Great catch, OMA.
The 1778T-RF has the entire body painted, not just the top. |
