Sgt. Pepper

I got the big cut on both my man tubes, so condoms are a thing of the past.

Sorry for your loss. I lost my mother last March. Not sure what guitar it is, but go on Reverb and see what the same make model year and condition are selling for.

I think the only place there is more wood is the center block. I think the upper and lower bouts are the same as the rest of the sides.

It's it a Gibson guitar and doesn't the strap say Gibson on it or am I reading it wrong? Or did it happen with a different strap?

Unless I'm dumb or wrong both are different in every way. I've seen the ones that raise up like the one above, but the first one with the huge letters, never.

You can do what you want its yours. It might improve the balance, but the weight of the guitar will not change. I need another hole in my guitars like I need another wife.

Put a shirt on or get a room you two. Nowadays that would be considered kiddie porn.

Man I can't stand that guy and the band he fronts.

The grain on my 000 seems uniform across the whole top, my D-41 is tighter at the center and wider at the edges and the 12er, J12-16GT is tighter at the center and wider at the edged and the D-15M is at another house. That is all I got and I ain't got no more. I strum them they sound good, I finger pick them they sound good. Like I said I think we as guitarist tend to over analyze stuff to the n'th degree.

I know. The only FM songs I like once Stevie and Lindsey joined are Lindsey's and Songbird. The Welsh era was okay and people go gaga for Peter Green. They were good back then English Blues is just not my thing.

Yeah I know but that is the reason I am on the forum to learn from others. I could look up anything all day long, but then what is the point of being of the forum I'll look it up myself.

I picked out my own clothes today without Beato's help, but I'm probably dressed wrong.

Yeah but its not a real court of law, just a bunch of old windbags with each side having their own agenda (ok enough depression). Not sure what grain I have. They look really close. Can someone explain the difference to me how tight is tight and how wide is wide? Any one?

So Gibson's own products react with their own guitars. Nice. So Steve there goes your theory out the window. I guess if its gonna happen its gonna happen. No matter if the strap is on for an entire gig or 5 mins. I think all my Martins have nitro finishes and I leave them in my Hercules stands whenever they are not in my hands with no barrier between the guitar and the stand like a lot of people do. I know the issue is a strap, but nitro supposedly reacts to any and everything. Never had a ill effect. You obviously did and I've heard of it happening and it comes up all the time. I guess you can call Gibson and talk to them. I'm sure they are just gonna tell you "it happens its nitro". Bummer. Plus Gibson fans are unwilling to give up their nitro finished guitars and they tout it as the best lacquer.

It's belt worn. Yeah if it came out of the factory like that it would cost at least $500 more. But seriously. It happens. I guess you could have some spray some nitro over to get it back, but it is on the back and chances are you are going to put another ding in it anyway. Haven't dinged my D-41 yet but on that day I will cry like a girl.

These are Schaller Grand Tune's. If I could just change the buttons to black I would, but it looks like the button and shaft are together and there is no screw on the button for removal. I'm gonna just leave em on. There nice tuners, just gold. Just watched a YT video and the guy took those tulip shaped ones on Kluson's off with a claw hammer. Nope.

Exactly how tight is tight and how wide is wide. All mine look pretty tight. Are you guys measuring with a machinist rule?

You're exactly right but this is a forum which is a place to share your thoughts and ideas and opinions as well as helping others with guitar related issues or we can just post specs about a 1937 J-45.

One of the reasons I bought my BB due to it and found I had no need for it. Great guitar but useless feature for me. My BB was an 09

Nothing wrong with a Fender Amp. Loved all the ones I've owned. Congrats.

Yeah that could be but I owed a 28 and I would compare it to a Rocket Ship vs a Spitfire. There is a reason I sold my 28, 18, and 35 to get it. And none of those guitars were dogs. It's just that good. Made some cash too.

There are not enough signature guitars out there, so one more can't hurt. I thought he played G&L now

I still hate gold. Had gold on my BB and it was everywhere, pup covers, tuners, switch, and the jacks. I know it is supposed to look expensive, but when it tarnished it looks like garbage.

Your right there are tons of great players out there and LB is one of them. I was in the second row, and It was insane seeing it live.

I play my guitars and don't analyze every nuance of them to the n'th degree. I like it, it sounds good, I buy it. It's that simple.
