Hawkeye53 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hello everyone, Long time guitar player from the west side of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame city. My collection contains mostly acoustics these days, but in the past I've owned LP's and various hollow bodies. On the acoustic side, I have no Gibson's, but hope to remedy that soon (got my eye on an L-1). I do own and play a McIlroy a25c, a Larrivee P09bz and a very unique Parlor circa 1915. The stuff that goes in the miscellaneous section are: Fender double neck, 8 string, lap-steel and a few Oahu lap-steels. These days I'm mostly interested in playing, technique, writing, cowriting, producing and coproducing songs. I am looking forward to talking guitars, music, and everything else that's related to sound. Hawk eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skchurch Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'm Scott--although I have had many Gibson Guitars in the past, I currently have a Jackson Browne Model A (selling on the Acoustic Guitar Forum), a Jackson Browne Model 1, and a J-45 Custom Koa (which is gorgeous). In the past I have had an LG-2 Americana (just sold), a J-200 Elite, a J-185EC (two of them actually), and a Hummingbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duluthdan Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Here's a picture of the most recent Gibson, the J-45 Custom Koa, which I am loving! Here's how to post photos - doing it with the little snips will drive you nuts because there is so little file room supported. http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/11005-sticky-how-to-post-photos/ So I see you are parting with one of the JBs - the one with the Trance Audio Amulet - that's a super nice guitar, but I suppose it makes sense to pare down from 2 to 1. Good luck with your sale. And welcome to the Gibson Acoustic board. How about a picture of that Hummingbird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennisczech Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hiya, I'm an acoustic picker from the UK, and am a fan of the old Gibson sound. I particularly enjoy playing smaller-bodied instruments and vintage ones when I can! Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanstreak Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Howdy! What part of the UK are you in? I lived in Hertfordshire for 5 years from 05-10 and miss it quite a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennisczech Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Thanks for the kind welcome guys. I live in a small, conservative town about 30 miles west of London. I play in a wonderful old Irish pub in a place called Slough, and I drive past Windsor Castle every time I play. The other night there was a huge, full orange moon rising over the castle as I drove to the pub, it was magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versatile Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Welcome aboard Mr D... Personally I don't play Gibson acoustics (I just want you to know that)... Too expensive and mostly too big too... Preferring the dulcet tones of Ovation, Taylor, Takamine etc Gibson electrics are well cool though, so it's not all bad news... Have a nice day...

BigKahune Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 . Welcome. Good to have another Gibson acoustic fan on board. So, what guitar/s do you own, and what's your favorite? . . B) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennisczech Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I currently own a 1949 Southern Jumbo, which I am planning to shift at some point, as I find anything larger than an OM or 0000 just too big. My other guitar is made by Ron Pinkham of Woodsound Studios Maine, and it's a great-sounding piece, here's a link: Pinkham clip My favourite all-time shape is the L-1. I played a 1930's L-1 today that had a delightful sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
