MissouriPicker Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Good article and video. This stuff is interesting to me. For me, I find it difficult to describe “the Gibson sound.” What I call a thump, someone else might call a twang. What I think is too bright, someone else might think is a deep bass, and it’s all good. I just like what I like. I can likely grow to love the sound of most good guitars and a lot of those guitars happen to be Gibsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyd Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Good article and video. It was interesting, but I'd call it an advertisement and not an "article". ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Very attractive guitar - sings so warm and sweet almost too polite. Then again the guy has rather a light'n'gentle right hand. What's there not to like. The Gibson-sound !?, , , well, then this is definitely wrong number. Thx for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Here is another fellow with his J-50. He's very sympathetic and competent, but the way he under-plays the sonic variation between James Taylor's bridge w. adjustable wooden saddle and his own modified, now conventional version, makes me a bit suspicious. The difference is huge. 1964 ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx8EmutRQ3A Regarding Taylor's p-guard it seems he did without it from what must have been the J-50-start. Approx. 1966 ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
