NOG'D ............... new old guitar day
OrdinaryNimda replied to mihcmac's topic in The Gibson Lounge
You are definitely the one to ask about p90s. I like their sound very much, too! 👍 Did I understand correctly, that you use the same strings on electrics and acoustics? So using the very soft to the fingers electric guitar strings for acoustic guitars? Is the natural acoustic sound still OK, even if you play it with no amplification? -
NOG'D ............... new old guitar day
OrdinaryNimda replied to mihcmac's topic in The Gibson Lounge
Interesting looking guitar. And no surprise p90s found their way onto it! 👍 May I ask what gauge strings you use? -
The distance of pickup spacing is marked wrong. Of course it is the middle of the outside poles, where both E strings are supposed to cross. The numbers are correct, though. I looked up some info, DiMarzio and S.Duncan have differing spacings for the bridge pickup (DM=48mm, SD=49mm). Some say, the covers can be used interchangeably, even though I am sceptical. (I have a guitar with a SD SH-4 in the bridge position, the others with humbuckers are Gibsons. Maybe I should do some measurements.)

I've always liked the sound of the Hammond organ. Jon Lord reigns supreme here for my musical taste. But I wanted to check it out at the roots and did some YouTube research. Here I found a Jimmy McGriff album, and the first song "I got a woman" is so spectacular, I have to share it. To not get banned by the Moderators for posting non-guitar materials, I checked the guitar player of the band. It's Thornell Schwartz, who was also a well known jazz guitarist, and is seen with a Gibson ES-175 on a photo. Wish Gibson would start making those again. 😁

2019 Les Paul - fingerprints under the finish
OrdinaryNimda replied to dmc.cmd's topic in The Gibson Lounge
Good choice, the sound is first. -
It won't ever stop... just like the sustain on that LP? 😁

A Horse With No Name, America 1971
OrdinaryNimda replied to Rene Asologuita's topic in The Performance Hall
Yep. And they had quite a few good songs on their first and second albums. 👍 -
Get a good leather strap, at least 3 inches wide, with no buckles and metal parts. She should always use it when playing, even when sitting down. And then just learn songs and practice a lot. If she likes to sing, that's even better. These guitars are beautiful and sound great, plus feel natural to the hands. If your daughter likes music, she will love playing it.

I have Schallers on my ES-335, and didn't notice any "contact" when sitting or standing.
-
Beautiful guitar and it's even more beautiful after restoration. I am not a fan of "relic marks" on guitars, even if they are of natural causes. It should look like new, but sound like Heaven itself.👍

May I ask what model Gibson that is? (I have no idea of what kind of Spruce that is. I am no expert, but looks beautiful enough to me.)
-
I am noticing this "submission" on an ES-335, very stiff and hard-sounding at first. The more I play, the better the sound seems to get. My thinking was, it is all psychological and just having to learn to listen to it properly. But on an LP Standard, the sound seemed super great immediately the first time I played it. (Both were new guitars with a great initial setup.)

Great topic Title. I was 100% sure, when entering this debate, that it'll be about a new PEDAL Already had some pre-prepared statements... 😄 I have a Gravity, but not the kind on the photo. This is really interesting, because I have found out in the last few years, that every kind of pick sounds, feels and plays differently, and so much more on different guitars. One has to actually try them out in all scenarios in the never-ending quest for great sounds.

What's the point of this? I clicked the (life-sized) Tobacco Burst Firebird - and it's "Out of Stock". 😒

Confession is therapy enough. 👍

Les Paul Standard Bridge Pickup Ideas?
OrdinaryNimda replied to HamburgerShins's topic in The Gibson Lounge
So, basically a hotter pickup? -
Who will be the first guitar-maker, to make guitars that change from aloha-sunburst to bozeman-blue, from one song to the next? 😁

Is this a five-dollar joke?

2023 should be a great year for Gibson Acoustic Guitars!
OrdinaryNimda replied to Larsongs's topic in The Gibson Lounge
It's a "passive" chip, like on old credit cards, where it just bounces back some code (e.g. serial number), which is then accessible in their database. So no big deal in any case (except for ruining those slabs of precious wood). I think it's all #bs. 😁 -
Danvill Rob: I am logged on to Facebook - and it gives me a blank page.

OrdinaryNimda replied to Larsongs's topic in The Gibson Lounge
I read it too. There was a link somewhere and the date was recent. So it is not "fake news" in any way or form. For a manufacturer it's the proper thing to do, to inform their customers of any policy change. So it's a WIN-WIN for everybody. -
And just some minutes ago, the second series of THE PROCESS has begun on YouTube, showing how guitars are made in Bozeman, Montana. Wild coincidence, or 2023 coming for great acoustic guitars?

And being dazzled everytime by the wonders of price inflation? 😲
