  1. Yinz guys?? You must be from Pittsburgh. Welcome to the forum!
  2. So sorry for your loss, Tom. I pray you can find some peace.
  3. My AJ is definitely the loudest, but my J 200 is almost as loud.
  4. I like the Martin lifespans on my J 200, also. They work great on my AJ, too.
  5. If they listen to people like they say they are, they need someone to go out and talk to people. He seems like he can already give a lot of knowledge of what people are looking for. He might be able to let Gibson know what is going to sell. Also, he give them an instant presence on you tube. I don't know if Bozeman needs him as much as Nashville. I will watch any content Gibson puts out, but I don't just take their word for it. The independent reviews are pretty important, which you won't get from anyone working for Gibson. I watch all of Don's videos, and he does a good job showing products in the best light, but he isn't going to tell you that something is no good. If it gets to production, his job is to sell it. Gibson acoustic, for the most part doesn't have a problem here, because it has been mostly good stuff. Nashville, on the other hand, needed someone to stop the bad ideas before they got to production. A few bad ideas has taken years for them to recover from. Even the best salesmen, and brand experience people can't sell a bad product.

  7. The corner lifts on my J 200 also. I think the rate is much higher than 2% for the flubber guards. However, I push it down and it stays until the next time. I see it as a trade off. It lifts but the thistles don't wear off.
  8. I found my 2006 AJ used at a local shop. At the price I paid, it is by far the best value of any guitar I own. It is the only used guitar I have, but at almost half the price of a new one, it was like I couldn't afford not to buy it. At least that's how I justified it to myself. Actually, I jumped at the chance to buy it. It's the only one I have ever run acrossed for sale, new or used. When I got it, I could not have afforded a new one, but the price was right on the used one.
  9. Next time I go for a visit I'll get a couple of pics. I'm not sure about the saddle, I will check it out. My dad had a couple of pins put in to keep the bridge down. It probably needs a neck reset, but we both have "better" Gibsons around to put the money into fixing it. It still gets played a little bit but what makes it cool is it was my grandfathers.
  10. Oh I forgot to mention, my original intent was to mention that the one I speak of is marked as a "2nd".
  11. My father has my grandfather's square southern jumbo. I think he told me it is a 63, but I questioned him because I didn't think they were square in 63. It is not in great shape and the bridge is lifting, but it does sound good. If it wasn't a little beat up, it would look just like seventies-fan's in the OP. I'm jealous because his probably sounds and looks good. Enjoy it.
  12. I always thaught the J 15's I had a chance to play reminded me of maple. Not exactly, but it was the closest thing to compare them to. Is this sort of what you can see in the chart? I don't know, but it is what my ears told me.
  13. It also doesn't have a maple neck, they are mahogany I believe.
  14. I don't think they make any solid maple necks. I don't know if they have always been like that or not, historically speaking, but J 200's have a walnut stringer. J 200 customs have a stringer, but it might be rosewood to match the back and sides. I don't know about the Dove, they have maple necks but I don't think they are solid. Forgive me if I am wrong and I don't mean to spread wrong information, but the point is you don't have to be disappointed in a 3 piece neck.
