  1. Always entertaining to revisit something that impressed in the past - in this case 3 decades ago. Gives a fine impression of how outer'n'inner would moved (or stayed) since then. I'm close to saying the orangy-Dove has the tune-o-matic bridge. But what about that pale one in the beginning. .
  2. Yes that's right - people with insight say they are among the most versatile el-guitars out there. I'm not of of them, , , but am trying to learn by doin', , , and reading. Like this vintage-mature-burst semi-hollow peace-axe a lot.
  3. The 2020 just after landing > PLAY ! LOUD which means new steel
  4. Not much we see of it here - but you should post some el-sounds when the stars stand right. As mentioned mine is from a relatively new batch over there, which means is has the T-type Calibrated pick-ups - a nod to the second wave from between approx 1967 and 80. Some say they are too bright, , , must be the people who don't think the vintage 335s can get too muddy (or can't control their knobs). Well, , , it's quite a field to dig into - especially the original PAFs, which some are 'religious' about, , , though those pups don't have any general voice at all. Remembering the profound wisdom in einmal est keinmal (ein est kein ), I started out with 2 and jammed away some 10 days plus/minus New Year. The other one was a 2022 that came up much softer or less potent - tempted to say m y s t e r i o u s. After a lot of mind'n'soul-pendul-swinging, the strong creature stayed. 22 - 20
  5. Thanx Sal ^ as you may know a 335 isn't just a 335, so much depends on the pick-ups, which (if not modified) means year. What's the name'n'date, , , ond colour of your electric voice ? Mine is a grown-up-tobacco-58-burst - like it a lot.
  6. Apropos flaming Doves goin' to quilt - here's my Firebird, , , , , , in the company of the new 2020 ES-335 which Santa most fortunately brought just before X-mas.
  7. Impressing all the way - suits them to dive brown. Not quite so 'loud'. How I'd like to compare it to my, , , , not Dove, but (blonde) Firebird.
  8. Recall recommending the Dove in the phase where you realized Hummingbirds probably weren't goin' to be your ticket. Never really heard response - the Umanov-incident may have played in. It's hereby drawn back - you are too far and happy down another path. . Have to agree - there is a delicate/thin/clear/tinny high end to most square Gibsons, which in my ears calls for that half step down. However I believe there is a chance the Bird and the Dove arrives there via half-different stairs - maple bein' one key factor of course. That's also why the thin high ends reached are related yet not all similar. And yes - the 45/50 seem to steer free of this challenge - the horse simply having too much ground-contact. Hahe, , the guys aren't dangerous as long as we don't cross the line. Hope that's not done by calling them a crypto-comedy-duo. In that case I better walk carefully now - done that several times and really like them. . Quite a surprise you didn't get the blonde bass - it was SO obvious in these cans and without a doubt made me prefer that one. Still - let the 2 guitars break in and we'll see. Both of them will probably end up amazing. Natural for acoustic jams - orange for studio sessions.
  9. Absolutely yes - but it's no hawk.
  10. As we know the Doves are pretty rare fliers living in an altitude of their own - and as we also know they are mighty fine guitars, , , not least as recorders.. It's good to celebrate the classic 62 once in while. So now now is now, , , and the remarkable difference makes this film special. Check the Quinton & Paul testers doin' their thing. And enjoy Apart from that they don't seem to answer the headline Q - well, , , never mind. . .
  11. But you may get a break in the stand-up business. .
  12. O the EJ-16s - workhorse of bronze - sound good here. I still use them to here and there too. The voice is not beyond a healthy roll back, if you ask me. But yeps, you have to sing'n'swing it. . Admit bein' kind of glad you returned to 6. The little fella signalized retirement.
  13. Yes, I think the adjustable square is remembered - was it a contemporary Country Western. Anyway, have fun experimenting. Both the guitar and you deserve the investigation. .
  14. Can't think anything else - unless something extra complicated ravages the equation.
  15. Pardon !? , , , , never seen anything like it. Mine is as normal as it can be.
