Totally uncalled for!  Perfectly abnormal LOL! It especially hurts if the guy is not only playing a guitar you're lusting after, but if he's better than you are (no offense, I have no clue), it only makes matters worse. Don't ask how I know this LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally uncalled for!  What do you have for a guitar/guitars??? Trade one or two or sell one to get the one you've always wanted...

charlie brown Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 You's in the wrongest place, asking what's wrong with you, wanting another guitar!! Â I've been lusting after a ES-345, for decades! Yet, I have so many nice guitars, already, that it's getting harder to justify adding any more. Wanted an ES-355...but, I have a "Lucille," so that's pretty much the same thing, only without "f" holes. Â If you (really) want it, can afford it easily enough, and it won't cause marital problems...go for it!! Â CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I used to want one of these, but I got over it. Â Unfortunately I got over it by discovering the L-5 Wes Montgomery, which is most certainly going to remain on the shop wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't got a premium, but I have a 2010 standard Epi ES -175 which is a beauty, alongside a 2012 Gibson ES 175, plus a number of other hollows as you've probably seen. They are great! Mind you, I play jazz mostly...  Here's a blurry picture of them together (the camera I have blurs unless you use a flash - think it's broken)...  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versatile Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 ES 175 love is perfectly understandable....  IMO and anyone else's with aesthetic taste the Florentine cutaway has real beauty...  Personal favourite 'squeeze' today is the ES225...  Slimline hollow ES175 shaped beauty with P90's  It doesn't get much better...  V  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I have always wanted a Gibson Byrdland, but (thus far, in this life) I have only seen them in magazine photos. Never once ran into one in person. Â I remember that Ted Nugent used to play one, back in the day. Â It's on my bucket list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Oh, and I really dig that Bryan Adams song. Thanks for posting that, Larry. Â It took me about ten seconds of listening to realize that it was produced by Jeff Lynne (of ELO and Traveling Wilbury's fame). Jeff's production style is unmistakable! Â Such a great guy, and probably my number one influence musically. I bought my first Gibson Les Paul (a gold-top Deluxe) in the 1970's because I had seen Jeff playing one on television. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
