  1. A friend from high school called today asking what this guitar is worth. His father bought it new after getting out of the service after the war. It really has not been played in decades but he had the amp and guitar worked on and everything works. The original tuners were replaced. He is asking me for a ballpark figure. Can anyone help? Where would he go to get this appraised? Thanks.
  2. I've got one I might consider selling. It sits in a closet most of the time. Sounds good and has all of the case candy.

  4. I've got one that I obtained in a trade with a dealer who had one forced upon him and felt he would be able to sell it. So I had some trade stuff he thought he could sell and it was a couple of guitars I did not play but just sat in a closet. I also have a Waterloo. The Waterloo is a bit drier sounding but the Gibson is a bit louder. The Gibson cuts like crazy in an old time string band context and of course sings like a bird when fingerpicked. The top is amazing torrified Adi and the finish on the guitar is first rate. I am not crazy about the tuning machines but they work well enough. There is a distinctive Gibson sound to the guitar and I find it quite enjoyable to play. The D string really rings out and if any thing I need to play the guitar more. It is light weight and punchy in sound. A very good axe all in all. The Waterloo sees more action and when playing in dance halls the Blues King with the LR Baggs gets the call, but for jamming and around home this guitar is a go to axe. I hope I live long enough to really break it in. I have allergies that prevent me from playing older, moldier guitars as much as I love them, so this is an updated vintage thing I can enjoy. The plastic end pins were a let down, but the 1932 model may have had them. I had a nice set of bone pins that worked just fine there.
  5. Can anyone recommend a replacement tuners for the Mini Grovers on my L-00 Blues King. Is there any direct replacement or oe tha you would recommend?
  6. I am surprised that no one has mentioned Larivee as an underrated guitar. They are very good for the money. Eastman guitars are often very good too. The overrated guitars include Blue Ridge, Ovation, Fender acoustics, 1980's guilds.
  7. Been a fan of Ole Lightnin' for more than 1/2 a century, got to see him play along with a lot of other old blues guys. They could transport me to another time and space more completely than any other music. The cruel realities of their lives was an unspoken presence. They were wise men and very human all at once.
