Any chance you have link to some sound with this exotic acoustic. Yeah, there is one ;-) I did not record anything yet, but these days I'll try to do it and post here. Sounds pretty good for a brand new guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse_Dylan Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I am scared mine will not all fit in a photograph, but I will try soon. It is what I've listed, plus two Composite Acoustics and a 6-string mandolin. It is not just my lady that wonders what I'm doing but also my mother and father and probably my neighbors... It is a shame that Buc's only guitar was accidentally made backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds pretty good for a brand new guitar. That would be something ^ I got to know this brand many years ago from Donovan and Harrison and always found them exciting. Congrats on yours - my ears look forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I like looking at those and not going to attempt to sqeeze mine in to one photo! Probably have heart attack taking them out of their cases and putting them back..... Or, headlines in the paper: 'guitar hoarder found dead under pile of guitar cases that appear to have fallen on him and smothered him'! BluesKing777.

tpbiii Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 cant wait for Tom to chip in, he will probably need two pages to cover all his vault. I would like to post some pictures, but let me beg off on sort of the main focus of our flattop guitars -- basically Martins and Gibsons from 1930-1969. We love the combination of history, musical styles, instruments, and community that these encourage. Because there is pretty broad interest in these instruments, they tend to be pricey -- we had to manage them as a 40 year investment portfolio to own them. But we had a lot broader interest than just those -- with musical interests to match. In addition the our sort of "home" genre of bluegrass -- think dreads and mastertone banjos -- we also loved mountain banjo, minstrel music, blues, ragtime, old time, folk revival, and mountain folk too. In my younger years, I even played in some (bad) rock bands. When you spread a large net, you catch a lot of stuff. Most vintage instruments have been pretty good investments -- but they were certainly not all pricey and they all made music. So here are a few pictures that seldom get shown. Specialty instruments from the 20s and 30s -- often found at flea markets -- my wife's collection. Electrics Here is some older stuff -- before 1929 My wife is a bass player -- she loves old Kay S-51 "Chubby Jackson" 5-string basses. But she has more -- here are a few And finally old turn of the century banjos -- a minstrel, clawhammer, folk revival, and flea market favorite -- particularly in the 1970s. Let's pick, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blindboygrunt Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hey just love that J50 ( and the Birds not bad either lol ) A hummingbird really is a beautiful thing no doubt , , but you're right in what you say I think. The j50's simplistic beauty really sticks out here. Having always wanted a hummingbird I think if someone said take your pick out of that row , I'd find it hard not to take that j50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The J50 is the first one I grab to work a song or idea out. Until this past week! That's natural though... honeymoon and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
