  1. Choices. 1. Ignore it and keep guitar, 2. Return guitar for refund, 3. Exchange guitar, for another of the same model. Only you can decide on which choice to make. Good luck. RBSinTo
  2. Since I began playing the guitar around 1963, it is possible I might have unknowingly used one at some point, but that is just conjecture. And while I oppose slaughtering Tortoises to make guitar picks, I have no problem with commercially-raised Nylons being humanely killed and processed for them instead. RBSinTo
  3. Chief, I agree that Paul is a fine singer, although was he the best voice in the group is debatable. I prefer his singing, but that's just my opinion. And yes, he is a versatile musician, but I believe that George's guitar playing was vastly superior to Paul's or John's. RBSinTo
  4. Chief, I don't know if Ringo was the best singer in the group, but I believe that George Harrison was by far, the best musician of the four. RBSinTo
  5. Once again, my teacher and I got side-tracked from "Stormy Monday", because I happened to hear a cover of a Carl Perkins tune by that British band from Liverpool. And when I found a really accurate set of lead and rhythm guitar tabs, and took them to my lesson, I discovered that my teacher loves rock-a-billy music, so for the last few weeks we've been working our way through this: RBSinTo
  6. Steve, Why do you think she needs a pickguard on her back?????? I'm confused. RBSinTo
  7. Needs a new neck and re-fretting. Was the headstock broken and re-glued with molten chocolate? RBSinTo
  8. In answer to the title of this thread: No, there isn't anything that won't be counterfeitted, if there is money to be made fraudulently. But this is nothing new, just more prevalent today. RBSinTo
  9. I'm late to this party, but it seems to me that one of the most important criterion for a MUSICAL INSTRUMENT would be the quality of the sound it produces. And if this particular guitar was not a genuine Gibson, shouldn't that be very apparent just by playing it? RBSinTo
  10. KingJames78, I own one. Any idea when he'll be visiting me? RBSinTo
  11. The ability of AI goes far beyond assaulting the integrity of musicians and their music. And as it is used more and more in the future to cloud and distort reality and truth, we will find faked videos of John Lennon and Tom Waits to be the least of our problems. RBSinTo
  12. My biggest surprise at hearing this news is the lack of reaction from people interested in music who populate this site as well as another one I frequent. As both a music lover and a Canadian, I admired Robertson's work and the wonderful music that he and his mates in the Band made. Rest in peace Robby Robertson. May his memory be a blessing. RBSinTo
  13. The Gibson guitars I like ( ES335, and j-45) are still bring made, but the Martins that aren't (except perhaps by the special order Custom Shop) that I'd like to see re-introduced are slope-shoulder versions of the D-18, and D-28, dreadnoughts, as well as the n-20 (the guitar played by Willie Nelson).

  14. FYP., You really must stop sniffing that Gibson Guitar Polish. It's addling your brain. If it was really necessary to hire a lawyer to get this resolved satisfactorilly, and he allowed the other lawyer to negotiate down from a Martin to a Gibson, he would be in deep $hit. RBSinTo
  15. Sparquelito, There once lived a guy in Nantucket, Who one day simply said "£uck it!" For my brain to smarten, Some guitars must be partin', So he traded the Gibson for a Martin. RBSinTo
  16. Imagine if the guitar owner's headboard had been next to the wall. He probably wouldn't be able to worry about what shape his D-28 was in. RBSinTo
  17. Really, it could have been worse. It could have been my D-28. RBSinTo
  18. Sheepdog 1969, I "composed" a ton of silly, nonsensical songs for our children when they were young, and in all, the lyrics and the song titles were identical. I explained this to them by saying, if you forget the name of the song, but remember the words, you'll know what it's called, and vice versa. As for the tunes, they just seemed to coalesce simultaneously with the words. Strangely enough, none of these songs ever made the AM radio Top 1,000,000. RBSinTo
  19. We keep the basement stairs permanently lit 24/7 and before LED bulbs, I was replacing incandescents every few weeks. Now it's a surprising event if and when an LED bulb needs changing. In this case, the new technology is better. RBSinTo
  20. Chief, Keeping in mind that up here in Canada, for the most part our "right to bear arms" consists of us wear sleeveless tee shirts, 9mm inserts in guitars won't be seen anytime soon. Best I can hope to have is a spot for a salami sandwich and maybe a dill pickle. RBSinTo
  21. Larsongs, Isn't that one of the reasons some manufacturers are now using wood that has been artificially aged in addition to traditional methods and even hide glues in some models? Not exactly an original idea. RBSinTo
  22. Chief, As they are both Martin D-28s, I have no doubt they sound very good. However what I am interested in is the difference in sound between them. In other words, does the body shape influence the sound in two dreadnoughts each made from the same tonewoods, but shaped slightly differently? RBSinTo
  23. Chief, I've never heard the sound quality of a musical instrument described that way, so I don't understand your comments. RBSinTo
  24. Chief, I'd love to compare the sounds of the D-28 slope-shoulder and the regular square shoulder version, as for reasons I can't explain, I really prefer the slope shoulder shape, and wonder how and if the sounds vary based on the body shape. RBSinTo
  25. Chief, Be sad that he's dead, but happy that he lives on through his music. RBSinTo
