JuanCarlosVejar Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Folks, I've never shared this story with you. Most of you know I was in search of a lefty L 200 After long search last year I found one at Tall toad music in Petaluma CA. I talked to the manager Chris about buying it and about a month after the inicial conversation I purchased it and had it shipped to Fuller's. The second day of travel the train suffered a derailment and various items were affected among them was the emmylou .It arrived at Fuller's and I was concerned the neck had snapped but upon inspection Jeremy let me know it had survived intact and that it just need a minor trussrod tweak . He said it sounded very nice for being so small . It's a 2011 with the signed orange label: [ Thanks to Jeremy M and Co for building them sturdy !

duluthdan Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 That is an excellent looking guitar - good to hear it survived the train incident. My brain still seems to skip a beat when you post pictures of your guitars. [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisrownSal Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Beautiful JC! I thank Gibson every time I pick up my two Gibsons. They have created flawless instruments for me, in terms of fit, finish, quality of manufacturing, and most importantly delivering the sound I need to hear when I play.

mountainpicker Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Congrats on another in the stable. My father was left handed, and raised in an era when they tried to "cure" you of your affliction. I always had a curious fascination with watching him use the house can opener when I was a kid. It still kind of weirds me out to see left handed guitars as it just doesn't look quite right but I know they aren't easy to find but probably easier in the internet era. Anyway Juan you have quite the trove of guitars. Are all of them lefties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-1854Me Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Nice catch, JuanCarlos! The L-200 is one of my favourite models; hope you enjoy yours! Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanCarlosVejar Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 What a beauty! Let's hear her sing. I don't have her with me she is still at the shop.I just moved to California about a month ago and I hope to have an apartment by the end of the month . That way I can have this and other guitars shipped to me. My sole companion right now is a lefty L00 The one in my avatar JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
