  1. Quite the looker. Congrats! 😎
  2. I frequent the Lounge forum which tends to have more electric players. There, over the last few years, this “neck shape - pain” topic has come up a coupla times. As I recall, some of the players with trouble preferred the “V”/“soft-V” shapes. Having previously found the V comfortable, it should work out for you. If you made modification and didn’t like it, you should be able to recover some of the value by selling it.
  3. Originally the Southern Jumbo come out in the early 1940s as a “deluxe” version of the J45. As is typical for Gibson, the specs have bounced around a bit. In recent years there have been dozens of versions of the SJ and J45. Trying to make specific comparisons now is going to be quite a chore, except to point out the original idea - the Southern Jumbo is a “deluxe” version of the J45.
  4. Yes KSdaddy. +1 The Electric division went with the new serial format. The Acoustic division stuck the the older format.
  5. I remember Guitarstrummer - good forum contributor. Sorry to hear of his passing Scott.
  6. Sound hole wise, kinda looks like a Gretsch Rancher, but that was a bigger guitar - large lower bout. I agree with Zomby - if that’s a Gibson, it was probably modified.
  7. Welp . . . Quite the looker! Turned out great. 😎
  8. Possibly: started out as a legit Gibson, but at some point suffered bad neck/headstock damage. Then somebody did a neck replacement with an Epi neck and put a Gibson waterslide on it to go with the original Gibson inside label … making it a a multi-brand Frankenstein repair.
  9. Congrats on your Ric 360. 😎 I’ve got a 360/12. I love it. When I first got it, tuning/intonation was a chore. I put a Ric 12 saddle bridge on it which made all that go away. Enjoy.
  10. I did a search yesterday and came up with this on guitar.com Gibson’s community forums appear to have been shutdown. The web domain has been gone since last Thursday at the earliest. Also: Gibson appears to have quietly shut down their forums and support. Glad it was a solvable tech problem. 😎
  11. I haven’t come across “rounding” the edge of the saddle before. I would try a coupla other things before messing with the saddle. Try reseating the E string in the bridge. Try another E string. Hope you find a solution.
