Rambler Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I have had the exact opposite experience. I've bought some of my best Gibsons online: L-00 Legend (dealer in Arkansas), Fuller's 1943 SJ Re-issue (dealer in California), 1959 ES-335 Historic (individual in NY), and 1968 ES 335-12 (dealer in Minnesota), as well as other non-Gibsons. I've also bought several other good ones on Craigslist (and driven a lot of miles to do it), including a 000-28 EC and a 1947 L-7.Lucky, I guess. Or knew what you were looking for. A lot of mine were tryouts. Like, a short scale Martin 00018 might be a more ergonomic J45. It was a great guitar in an objective sense but not at all the sound I was after.

The dman Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I've said this before I think Gibson's strategy of not allowing stores to list their acoustics online is the dumbest thing ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldCowboy Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 But don't I have to read before I know if I like? Is this a test? I believe that sometimes a post needs to be opened to find out like or dislike, but I've never had to get beyond a few lines before deciding whether or not to continue reading. Maybe more detailed test directions should be included😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCowboy Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 😂 Mind your toes on the racism line there buddy Yeah! Some of us don't appreciate your reference to ducks.... As far as the ethnic food observation is concerned, our local oriental restaurant serves Cajun frog legs, and they are AWESOME. On days when those are not available on the buffet table, they always make me a double order as soon as they see me walk in the door. Great people, even w/o the frog legs😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldCowboy Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 'Do you have frogs legs ?' 'Yes' 'Well hop over and get me a steak' That's like "Do you have crabs?" I see potential for this thread to take a new direction that's guaranteed to aggravate someone😄 Allow me to demonstrate further: "Do you have fish oil?"

MissouriPicker Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I don't think the Chinese jokes are very funny. You wouldn't either if a Chinese restaurant opened-up down the street and lots of cats and dogs were suddenly missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
