I do recall the guy or store was in NY somewhere where i got the SJ. They did mention it was hide glue on the construction of the guitar, I feel like i have some weird bastard child of a SJ, but she's my keeper.

What do you prefer for acoustics, Gibson or Martins or some random builder? I have to say, we used to have a store here before it closed (they retired) and the selection was insane. Martins to Froggy Bottom acoustics! If you haven't had a chance to play a Huss and Dalton, you need to try one. I really dig that company, i will say for acoustics i don't get into collins or santa cruz or taylor.

dig that, i love guitars man. Dude the 37 (named it maddie), but with ph. bronze strings medium gauge its way too powerful. Corrected me if wrong, but even the VTS stuff in regards to guitars, they can still open up more correct?

Not the best, but it works

I use low tension, even on dreads. They just sound unreal, sadly their lifespan is short imo. Favorite strings (in order): Santa Cruz Tension Martin Retros Martin Folk n Steel Everything else is whatevs to me

lol, who knows. I am gonna record a video of it tomorrow and post it along side a fight between the SJ vs the 37 AA In the words of Mortal Combat, "fight".

by the way the 37 is loud af and super powerful, its like heavy metal folk ****. Anyways ive been going through so many string sets, nickel strings mellow it out a lot. Waiting to try my santa cruz tension strings (those are my favorite strings ever by a country mile)

Dig it my man. What capos you using?

You got it boss SJ and 37! You know I've never played a D-18 : ( Eventually I want to get a smaller body guitar thats all hog and thinking M-20 or the Martin OM, but martins to me that are not dreads weird me out for some reason.

I don't think the 37 gets sharp, like the one I bought. You know how Martins are you can play ten 28's and they all sound different, thats why i wanted to make sure i snagged this one. Loved it too much, didn't want to drop the money but whatever. I will I am not a fan of the relic guitar stuff, but quickly got over that. I can record this week! Do you want a video just on the SJ or SJ vs the 37?

I think they did, but it was so goddamn long ago and cannot recall. What got me down this rabbit hole I recently played a SJ standard and it felt completely different and starting wondering wut da fug do i have

just on the inside with the orange sticker

Will do, what's the best 3rd party site everyone uses? Here was a video I did between the 37 and the HD28V, its hard to capture the differences VIA YT cause they compress so much but there is a "huge" difference. I'll do one between the SJ and 37 though

100% By the way I did just google this, but couldn't find anything. Was there ever a Gibson era where they made SJ's with Tbars like Martin? Just picked up an D-28 Authentic Aged 1937 and that is an unreal guitar, that and my SJ are my favorites by a country mile. Nice thing about those two guitars you cannot really compare them, two totally different animals.

Agreed, I am assuming its an early TV SJ at this point. I have never seen a standard SJ with a banner headstock, dunno its weird. I guess it doesn't matter what it is, I am just curious. This is my ride or die guitar, have two but this Gibson SJ is a special thing.
