The tuners will have to go

[E-minor7]

Yea, , , guess white pill shapes are waiting.

 

Such a surprise - I heard the thing as a vintage small body guitar.

 

With your allowance -

well dam... something told me it was maybe something like this, as you don't seem like an LG kinda guy... but too many variables in the sample to really know at all.

 

 

 

Enjoy the playing Grunt!

Beautiful. . . And yes, the turners need to go.

 

Had some fun on the other thread. . B)

 

Congrats and enjoy.

 

And I'll be looking for a pic update when you get those tuners changed.

Are we talking just because of looks and period? 'Least they aren't gold! Elaborate a bit, please and thanks.

 

edit: Real nice guitar too, by the way!

[MissouriPicker]

Nice guitar. If the tuners are "stock" with the guitar and they do a good job of what they're supposed to do, I'm usually fine with them. The guitar should work well for you. You've got the ability to make it do whatever you need. [thumbup]

[bayoubengal1954]

Congratulations, bbg! I didn't hear a large body either, but you were playing quite a bit close to the bridge to mess with us.

Nevermind... This is a 29 right?

[EuroAussie]

Nevermind... This is a 29 right?

 

Glad im not the first that asked .... but what exact model is that ?

 

I guess J-29, as J-15 has a different guard.

 

Crikey .. it sure doesnt sound like rosewood in the sample, much thinner.

Much apologies. 'Would've never guessed rosewood.

As of now, I am officially no longer calling them tuners. And those turners have to go. Yeah, that's what threw my ear off.

 

Happy NRGD

[blindboygrunt]

Thanks fellas

Yeah , it's a j29 and maybe the iPad mic makes it sound 'thinner'

Or maybe it is thin .

I'm liking it.

Apart from the tuners , which are just weird looking .

They'll do for a while .

 

Little or no mention of j29's here in forum .

You all hiding in the corner ? Or am I the only one with one ?

[blindboygrunt]

And turners is a much much better word for them 😄

[duluthdan]

Heard somewhere that the J-29 may be discontinued ? My initial guess was D-28. So at least got the Rosewood dread part right.

I'm pretty sure Larry (MissouriPicker) has one and he really likes it.

[Buc McMaster]

Nice get, Grunt! You'd never have convinced me it was a J-29 with that recording.......but hey, what do I know.

Well I have an Eastman E20SS. It's kind of J29ish! I love the warmer sound of rosewood on a short scale.

[flatbaroque]

I've played a couple.I liked them a lot.I think it will be a good addition.Did you score it on Gumtree? Wouldn't be that many in your neck of the woods I imagine.

[sparquelito]

I don't get it.

 

What's wrong with the tuners on that guitar?

 

[Jesse_Dylan]

I was gonna say it's either a J-29 or a J-35, but that just shows how ignorant I am. At least I would have gotten it one or the other.

 

The J-35 and J-29 have the different bracing, so I think depending on the mic they can record a bit thin. They are fiery, sizzly guitars. I played a J-29 in person and liked it. It is not as overly-warm as some rosewood guitars are. Although I like warm.

[QuestionMark]

I don't get it.

I have the same question...what's wrong with the tuners on the guitar? I also don't get it. Also, I don't get why anyone would buy a specific Gibson model that comes with specific tuners and then immediately change, destroying part of the asthetics that makes it that specific model. It's not like Gibsons are imported lower grade guitars that might have inferior tuners that don't hold a guitar in tune. They are stock, reasonably higher grade tuners used on a Gibson guitar's model, not junk tuners that don't work and would need replacing so the guitar can become playable. That's a different story and replacement is necessary for the guitar to be playable.

 

Well whatever...just make sure you keep the original tuners should you ever sell it. I would think a buyer would want the tuners the Gibson guitar came with for asthetics purposes. I know I would want the original spec tuners on any Gibson I have or bought used. But, it's your guitar.

 

Just my 2 cents.

Unless, of course, to somebody's trained eyes, those are already after-market tuners.

 

And if the desire is to get back to 'all original' configuration, then I can get behind that.

Aesthetics aside, I've never had an acoustic with tuners that were unusable. That includes a $60 "Silvertone" guitar from Amazon and a used 80s-era Applause. The first guitar I've owned with "name brand" tuners is my J-15.

 

I'm far from an experienced player, but with all the guitars I've owned/played I've never thought of replacing the tuners due to a functional deficiency. If anything, I'd like to replace my fingers sometimes. Aesthetics are a different issue and up to the individual taste of the owner, and I don't begrudge anyone for spending their money the way they want.

I agree and don't begrudge anyone for spending their money the way they want. It's their guitar. I just personally wouldn't if they are workable and part of the stock asthetics of the original guitar. If they didn't work, that would be another matter. Or, if someone changed them on a high grade guitar, I'd look for originals and replace them back to the stock originals...

 

But, it's a personal call, but as a suggestion one should think the subject through...

Whatever floats the boat.
