  1. At least there was a barrier. And I hope you were both clothed?
  2. I have had (have) several Martin's. Gone are a D-35, 2 - D-15M's, a D-18, and a D-28. I currently own D-41, 000-28, J12-16GT and a D-15M. To me that's yukky looking.
  3. Gregg was also good at marrying Cher. But not so got at staying married to her.
  4. On Reverb I've solded 4 guitars (one was local pickup), one Amp (local pickup) and a bunch of pedals. It has lower fees than flea bay. I have sold or traded everything now and what I have left are all keepers.
  5. The day has finally arrived. Tracking says what we all love to hear "Out For Delivery". I think it could have gone faster by the old Pony Express.
  6. In the last few months I sold my Guild JF-30, Martin D-18 and Martin D-28 and traded the D-35 in for the D-41. Down to 4 acoustics and 1 electric bass. I am pretty much done. After strumming a D-41 I could go to a 42 or 45, but the 41 is damn uber.
  7. Ok. Yeah its modal drone stuff on that and Suite Judy too.
  8. So I got a CSN tab book the other day. And I know the tuning for Love The One You're With (actually a song off Stephen Stills first solo album) had a alternate tuning and the tuning like on all tab books is on the first page in the upper left. But what am I supposed to do on the 5th and 3rd string tuned to C with a down arrow? Go to C then half way to B since they are a half step apart? I'm stumped.
  9. I recently bought a Martin D-41. It has gold (not a fan of gold hardware). They are Schaller Grand Tune open back tuners with the screw down nut, not the press in grommet. If anyone wants to trade like for like, I am open to trade for chrome or nickel or what ever silver is for my gold ones.
  10. It will be delivered tomorrow. What an ordeal. Last update was it left Fayetteville, Arkansas on its way to Arizona.
  11. I can see it from here and yes it definitely is, unless its not. Call Gibson, look at the pots to see if there Gibson, or we need pics.
  12. You have to just experiment and see what you like. You could try flatwound stings.
  13. PO just up dated the tracking. 9 days and it made it from Newport News, VA to Memphis. Unreal. I can drive to Memphis in about 10 -12 hours. It must be going by mule pack.
  14. That is a great statement. I usually see my guitars in the light too. In the dark they are a lot harder to see.
  15. I thought the USPS was 'Merican. The PO can abuse it equally as good if not better than Fed Ex or UPS.
  16. It was $65 shipped and fully insured for the full value.
  17. If you can do what you want and live how and where you want that is all that matters. I know I could never make it in the music game, so I guess I'm tied to being a corporate wage slave.
  18. Understand, its your axe. The fact that you didn't go with a Martin is irrelevant in this scenario. The real issue is you got a Gibson its not perfect (nothing is) and, you like the sound of it and have to live with the imperfection, since it appears you are keeping it and not exchanging it.
  19. You say its the size of a cent, I'm assuming you mean a penny and you say it's barley visible. To me that is not small. So is it there or not? You seem not pleased with the quality and I would send it back cause they ain't cheap. And then your last statement you say "At least I don't have a problem with the J-45" but you started this thread and it appears you do or you would not mention it.
