PrairieSchooner Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The '92 J-200 in my avatar. Actually there's an RB-250 that's slightly more recent, but I'm not sure if banjos count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the slopes but also the RJ tribute Here's another look at my '07 J35 FVG, which, arrived in May. THAT is a guitar I could fall in love with. I'll bet it plays and sounds just like my J-45 Legend.n They can't be that different. Looks very similar. What string do you use? So far its Martin SP lights for me.

Looks very similar. What string do you use? So far its Martin SP lights for me. Right now, I'm using Martin Retro Lights (nickel). Accentuates the punch factor. With PBs, it's more zingy. Plays great, regardless. Soundwise, yours and mine would be close, maybe a little more punch and snap on the 35 (at least, that's the impression I had comapring an OJ to an L).

Yorick Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Rambler, that's a beauty of a guitar. I use the Retros on my FVG J 50--and love the punch. Takes me back to the days when nickels ruled the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I use the Retros on my FVG J 50--and love the punch. Takes me back to the days when nickels ruled the world. Not to highjack the thread, but once I got used to the nickel sound (which didtnt take long), I was hooked. Really like 'em on my National steel as well. PBs on that one were too 'furry'- now its like a big hoking archtop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajay Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 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. Update: I bought my AJ in October of 2002. I just emailed Customer Service and told them about my Gibson Pick getting pinched. I'll just say that Gibson's Customer Service is staffed by some AWESOME folks. I dreamed of having a Gibson ever since my older Sister got her's when I was six. My only two acoustics are my AJ and a Gibson made '68 Kalamazoo KG-10 al Mahogany. After they hooked me up like they just did, my only acoustics (or electrics) will have The Gibson brand on them forever. This company is just unreal.

onewilyfool Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 A beautiful Gibson PureSound…….the best pickup I've ever played, and best J-45 I've ever played…..thought I'd revive this thread…lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullmental Alpinist Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 So now I'm confused. I thought Clarence White's D-28 is supposed to be the greatest guitar ever made and so Tony Rice plays it. But Clarence is shown here with a blonde AJ. Ironic. Anybody know the story? FMA BTW: I'm glad this thread was revived. It makes great reading. Congrats to all of you and your great guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 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. The neck is definitely different and I like it.

Tarrr Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 My lonely only Gibson, I restored it last summer... road hard for 33yrs, survived being in a laundry room closet for the next 20, and... well, your shinny new guitars are pretty but.... I'll keep this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I've never owned a Gibson flat-top, or ANY other steel-stringed round-hole flat-top guitar for that matter. So.... I guess I should not have even responded to this thread, I just like to show you the "other side" now and then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-1854Me Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I just reclaimed the last guitar I purchased (bought earlier this year) recently, a '43 SJ: It was at Dennis Berck's for a neck reset, and some minor tune-up items, and some Willi bridge pins. It has a large neck, and -- surprisingly for me -- it is still eminently playable for me (I usually like a low profile C-neck), likely due to Dennis' excellent set up job. Sounds great -- I'm a happy camper! Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not under a bed, that's for sure. It has been used, and has some wear, but it just hasn't been played heavily, and it has not been 'left out in the barn after the dance' sort of thing. Comparing the rosettes, I have a photo of my '53 and this '43 side by side, and you can see the difference: Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
