onewilyfool Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Since we have a post of "First Gibsons" I thought I'd start one for "Last Gibson" What was your last Gibson acoustic? Last one I got was the Advanced Jumbo, Antique Natural…..THIS is the guitar you want to go to jams with…lol…..I like this better than my friend's D-28 which is a natural comparison. Not bass boomy and overtone-ringy like the D-28, it has the J-45 type sound, great mids, twinkling highs,and the thumpy Gibson bass. This definitely has more punch than my J-45 Pure voice, although I hesitate to use this term, I guess you could call it a 'cannon"…lol…I've never taken pics of this little devil….but here is the inspiration for latest models….

duluthdan Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 That'd be the 2006 J-45 Legend for me. Like Martin SP strings, go figure. http://acousticletter.com/gibson-j-200-vs-taylor-618e/ Getting tired here, that first link is to the Gibson/Taylor comparison.

BigKahune Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 . Similarly, my last one was an 2013 AJ Red Spruce. The Adi/Rosewood combo is sooo nice - it has become the favorite of my Gibsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayyj Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 A 1929 TG1, in lovely condition with the dark, handrubbed sunburst. I already had a small body L1 and a 14 fret L-00, so the TG completes the set. I'm a tenor guitar enthusiast anyway and this little Gibson is far and away the best tenor I've played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duluthdan Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Not counting two Gibson ukes I picked up this week, a J45TV a couple weeks ago Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, I thhink the J-45 TV is tough to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRC Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 First one purchased and last one purchased = only Gibson I've owned = J-35. Wonderful guitar and I seriously doubt this will be my 'last' Gibson. Currently looking at the LG-2 AE. With Gotoh 510 open back tuners (original tuners were way too stiff) and upgraded truss rod cover with white trim.

ajay Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Mine is my til death do us part 2002 Advanced Jumbo Vintage Sunburst. I custom ordered it from Gibson so it didn't get hammered on while hanging in a guitar shop. I ordered it from a small shop in Buffalo. My only beef is that he lifted the Gibson pick that comes with all new ones! It was only at the shop for two hours and he pinched it immediately. Makes me wonder how good those picks are! I love my AJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Funnily enough I am discussing neck sets on another forum, with my last bitza Gibson - 1937 L-0.. Can't link a photo from my iPad, but you have all seen it..... BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodehopper Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Just about a month or so way from our first anniversary ....when she moved in with me. Got my J-35 last year and I am still trying to live up to this guitar. It is my go to guitar for jams and also great at home played at lower volume. This one really is both loud and it's voice stands out amid other guitars. Great when I am playing well, but it also seems to amplify my fumbles and mistakes too - yin & yang. She is just what I wanted when I got her! I would take this guitar to any bluegrass jam and not feel anything but sorry for those traditionalist who only even consider playing Martin Dreads.

ajay Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 That is a beautiful Gibson. It reminds me of a Natural Dwight Yoakam HonkyTonk Deuce that I demoed before I bought my AJ. It was a sweet sounding guitar, but I just couldn't get the hang of the short scale. I love the vintage Firestripe against that Natural finish. Very beautiful guitar! Gibson puts the best finish on hands down whether it's Natural or Sunburst. Everyone else's Sunburst looks like Graffiti ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobouz Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Gibson J-15, dated 1-2-14. It's the only J-15 I've seen with the custom shop logo. Don't know why or what may be different, but it's a wonderful guitar. Bought it from AMS, and they use it for their stock J-15 photos every time they run out of inventory. It can currently be seen here: www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-GIB-RS15-LIST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 It has been quite a while for me. The Gibson gang has been relatively stable. But the last to come live with me was my 1942 J-50. This is the strange one that left the factory with a burst to try and cover up a screw up in the top build. It was almost a basket case when I stumbled across it. But after year with the repair guy it was reborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorick Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Wow, Dave. A Century of Progress. Definitely a cool guitar. I have played one of the originals, and it had a sound all of its own. It also had a neck like a baseball bat! Could have used that guitar in some of the brawls I've been in over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
