  1. The Fishman’s sound is hard to beat.. I’m curious about the AER Amps.. They’re in their 4th Generation?
  2. I put a Set of Fralin P-90’s in my Casino & they are as good as the Gibson P-90’s in my USA Casino.. That said, if you’re going a Johnny Winter sound that would be Mini Humbuckers.. Sweetwater carries several makes including Gibson.. My Gibson Firebird V has Gibson Mini Humbuckers & they sound great.. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.. I’d go with the Gibson’s… https://www.sweetwater.com/c965--Mini_Humbucker_Electric_Guitar_Pickups
  3. Gibson used to have a Legacy website listing many past Guitars but I think it is no more.. ES-135’s, like most Gibson’s, have gone through many changes over the years.. Most important are the Pickups. PAF’s, P-90’s, P-100’s & probably others.. Hope this helps with your 1992 ES-135..
  4. Every once in a while a Guy comes along…. That takes us to another place.. Jimi made sounds no one ever heard before! He changed everything.
  5. Most recent are Series on Netflix & Prime.. Rogue, Vikings & Peaky Blinders
  6. Do you remember The Beatles? John & George played them… From what I’ve read it’s the only Beatles Guitar that appears on every Beatles Album…
  7. If you do let me know.. It would be great to meet up, have a Beer or three & play some Tunes.. Nice job on Desperado too..
  8. Any idea what they’ll negotiate in price? 15-20% or ?
  9. It looks & sounds cool.. Install looks pretty easy.. Not too expensive.. I might have to buy another Acoustic so I can get one..
  10. That is a beautiful Collection of Acoustics my friend.. I do hope we get the opportunity to meet up one of these days & do some Pickin’ & Singin’!
  11. If you’re buying from a reputable dealer they give a 45 day no hassle Return Exchange policy. Play them both for a couple weeks, decide which one you like & sell or return the other..
  12. Usually you can get better deals from Stores like Sweetwater, MF or others..
  13. I’ve been looking at getting another Acoustic. I’m pretty familiar with most makes & most price ranges.. For my preference I’ve narrowed it down to Gibson, Martin or Guild.. A Dreadnought 6 string.. A D-28 is one of them that’s high on my list.. I’ve been to quite a few Stores & have played several. They’re all great! Recently I went to a Recording Session at a friends house.. He has a really nice Collection of Guitars too.. He had just got a D-28.. I tried it out & was so impressed. It sounded great & played like buttah! It played easier than any of the D-28’s I’ve tried.. I asked him what he did.. He took it to the same Luthier that Sets up all my Electric Guitars.. He did the usual Truss Rod adjustment.. He also removed the Shim Martin puts under the Saddle, filed the Nut Slots to perfection & Dressed the Frets.. Lubricated & tightened the Tuners as well.. As well as a quality new Set of Strings.. 11’s or 12’s… My friend said he told our Luthier to take his time & get it the way he’d want it.. It took a couple weeks.. I am pretty good at doing Set ups & do a lot of my own if I have the time.. But, when I get my next Acoustic it will go to my Luthier.. Moral of the story, don’t underestimate a great Set up.
