Hey Lexicon,
I'm new to the Forum also. I still have a 1969 Gibson J-50 acoustic that I bought in 1972. I also have an ES 335, which I think is a great rhythm guitar and a great Blues guitar.
Hello Rich, My name is Rich also and I am also new to the Forum. I have a 1969 Gibson J-50, which I bought in 1972 and a 2001 Gibson ES 335, which I bought in 2002.
Sorry, but I can't help on your question.
I am a singer-songwriter guitar player. I own only American guitars - Gibson, Martin, Taylor, and Fender. I have a 1969 Gibson J-50 and a 2001 Gibson ES-335. I thought that I would introduce myself with a video I just posted on You Tube featuring my 335 called Pandemic Blues. Here is link to that video:
