  1. I own a 2016 standard Hbird and this is not it . Yours is obviously the Hummingbird Vintage model . The Vintage model is more a throwback to the 1960’s with the darker cherried mahogany back , the darker sunburst on the front .Tulip Tuners while the Standard is more for a modern approach with Grover Tuners , Electronics and Heritage Cherry Sunburst Congrats ! JC
  2. Alternatively if your L 00 does not have electronics (or it has them but you do not use them) you can cut a thin strip off a business card , and that will give you enough height . Gibson even talks about that method in a video ,around the 7 minutes and 50 seconds mark : I use this method with a few of my Gibsons and have great success with it . JC
  3. I use Ernie Ball 11’s on mine . I know most people play blues or finger style on their L 00’s , I do a little bit of that but I also love to strum it very softly . JC
  4. It was wonderful to hang with a like minded and passionate spirit . It’s fantastic when life provides the opportunity to spend time with someone as nice as gumbino who is indeed worthy of the prefix “ the great” in his name. He went home with an Epiphone Inspired by Hummingbird in Natural which conjured up images of The Stones at Nellcote back in the 70s. I was in to get some accessories. JC
  5. He can believe what he wants about his own guitar . He payed for it and not you . show some f’g respect for people’s opinions … JC
  6. You can’t get any faker than that . JC
  7. The world is made up of those who can afford a Gibson and those who can’t, if you can’t afford one … you go on YouTube or other platforms and cry about it . Gibson just made the Bozeman plant larger … so I don’t think they have a demand problem .Last I heard they were heavily back ordered Not all content on YouTube is good content . JC
  8. That’s because Gibson is no longer attending the NAMM show , and is no longer following the typical January announcing of a new line/expantion. JC
  9. I purchased a left handed G writer not too long ago ,It’s fantastic , feels like a million dollars even with the satin finish . Glad to see other people enjoying the G series . JC
  10. I used that guitar because it exemplifies that original headstock question . And originality has nothing to do with orientation. both of these still use the same orientation that Gibson would have used and that’s the point … JC
  11. Is the “belly” on your guitar’s bridge facing up towards the headstock or down towards the end pin ? i believe Gibson flipped the orientation of belly of the bridge at some point in 1968 , so if your belly is still a belly down like the one in the link I posted , it’s probably earlier than the 1968 moment of transition . if it has the belly pointing up then it could be a very late 68/early 69 as they were transitioning to the Square shoulder J 45 body . here’s an example of a belly up bridge model : https://www.musicgoround.com/product/41121-S000039692/vintage-1969-gibson-j-50adj-acoustic-guitar-w-ohsc JC
  12. You mean like this headstock : https://guitarpoint.de/product/1966-gibson-j-45-cherry-sunburst/ ?? JC
  13. Maybe email Gibson with these photos attached and see what they have to say about it . Gibson may have thought of 1,000 ways to test that finish … but users in the real world encounter scenarios that Gibson may not have thought about . I once had Gibson finish one of my guitars in a completely different color than what I ordered, They took it back and refinished it in the correct color . JC
  14. The 1942 Southern Jumbo with Rosewood they have in stock sounds like a million $$$.And that’s coming from someone who hates Rosewood . I hope you get it . JC
