  1. Unfortunately no, but after some research I found a shop that makes laser engraving on plates at a reasonable price (the laser engraving is more accurate and cheaper than milling engraving, but needs to engrave 2 times to get the same depth of a milling cutter). Cut to shape, engraving filled with enamel, costs around 40 euros.
  2. Yes Dave, the dots are in mop...I have the same j200 custom in burst as yours. I love it!!
  3. Thanks BK, no business here, just a great passion for gibson acoustics...If anyone is interested, I can suggest the steps to reproduce the original pickguard, the material that can be cutted/engraved with a cnc laser engraver, etc...
  4. hi folks, just wanna share my last customization, I replaced the rubbery pickguard on my standard j200 with a self made custom scratchplate. I drawed the guard with illustrator then cutted and engraved with a laser machine. I decided to left out the rings around the rosette, I like better the look now. What do you think?Merry Christmas to all!!
  5. i've seen many guitars with a not properly fitted neck angle, and i've been away from them...but it happened to me to notice some issue when was too late to ask to seller to replace the guitar...I'm sure that gibson will solve the problem.
  6. the four ribbon bridge: the two ribbon bridge:
  7. A proper height saddle (much better if made of bone instead of tusq) and a new set of strings, can considerably improve the sound. Recently I swapped the tusq saddle on my J200 with a taller one made of bone, the results were very impressive, much more volume with a significant increase in low frequency.
  8. haha, that's true, that particular guitar is like an antenna, it doesn't happen with other guitars ...maybe the reason is because it's not a gibson? Thanks MR GIBS!!
  9. We recorded this live performance recently, I am the one who sings, and luckily, the guitar is played by a much better guitarist than me. http://soundcloud.com/ritchie69-1/i-never-dreamed-youd-leave-in
  10. Hello! I'm Rick from Rome, Italy. I've owned many acoustics in the last 10 years, I fell in love with Gibsons at first strum.
