Hi,

Thanks for the welcome. I know what you said is very true.  I’m just here to get what input others may have on various products. 

As far as the cranky ones I just don’t have time for them.

Thanks, jayguitar

I agree with you on 16 year olds these days,

LOL .

 I haven’t met any here so far and hope I don’t.      jayguitar

After playing nothing but Fender for 20 years I just bought a 1996 Blueshawk and I adore it.   There is something about Gibson quality that stands out from the crowd and I have always used my tone controls quite a bit, so the Varitone circuit was made to order.  The Blueshawk is now my favorite guitar.

I am interested in talking with other members as to anything Gibson and Blueshawks in particular.   I am an experienced guitar and amp tech, but I am very hesitant to modify this amazing guitar.  The only thing it could use is a slightly hotter bridge pickup.  Thoughts?

The Blueshawk is a fine guitar. I want to get one. I’m thinning out my Gretsch collection so maybe I will get one. As far as a bridge pickup. Maybe a Seymour Duncan?

Is the tremolo system just an L-shaped metal tailpiece that bends? Looks unstable, but maybe I'm wrong...

Yes it is L shaped but it isn’t unstable.  The

dirty fingers pickup is very cool.

I am enjoying this site. Though I do belong to

other sites I have noticed attitudes much different than when I first joined them. 
Anyway, thanks for making me feel at home.

How was it listening to all those girls screaming?

Despite the screaming they performed very 

well.

I also find it hard on the eyes - comes across as an amalgamation of about four different guitars...

I bought an N-225 online and I don’t like it. 
It is really ugly. It is faded cherry. I promptly 

put it on consignment in a local music store

it is still there.  I bought it new with hard shell case. If anyone wants one point them

my way

Hi,

That’s a nice guitar. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Thanks for the Welcome! I sure appreciate it. I own several Gibsons and I love them all. 

My favorite is my ES 335. It is a beauty. 

Tomorrow I am going to get an SG Special faded cherry. I’m looking forward to it. I’m doing a trade for it. I’m trading one of my Gretsch guitars for it. 

What Gibson is your favorite?

Hi,

I am new here too. I just want to say that your guitar sure looks great. I don’t have a Les Paul but I had one years ago.  

I have an ES 335, ES 339, SG Special, Les Paul Melody Maker and an old Melody Maker.  I enjoy all of them.  I have other guitars as well, I am 71 years old and I have accumulated a lot of guitars through the years. I just wanted to say hi and compliment you on your guitar.

Hi !

I’m an old man. 71 years old with the mind of 

a 30 year old. Lol !!! In my youth I was on the road for 18 years and Gibson was there with me. I own several Gibsons and I still enjoy songwriting and recording.

[What is your favorite Beatles album?]

My favorite was Sgt Pepper. But I enjoyed and owned all of their albums.

 I’m 71 and grew up in rock and roll. 

In August of 1965 I saw them perform at the Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. They were great!
