  1. Along with Gem Archer as well both playing Epi's in this recent vid -
  2. Yes! I have another guy with a 2006 model for sale at the same price and a similar condition. Thinking I might be better off with the 06!
  3. I know this is a Gibson forum but I've got a chance to pick up a 1979 or possibly a 1980 Martin D-18 and hope one of you guys can help. Are those years known as good/bad/indifferent for the D-18? I know next to nothing about Martin but this is an under-the-bed kept guitar that's supposed to be in terrific shape and the price is super cheap.
  4. Well I've only just come across this thread and it's got me wondering if my Masterbilt Frontier is like that as well.
  5. If you still need this let me know. I have a high-end DSLR and could take a pic of mine for you.
  6. Here's Chris Stapleton playing one, and of course it sounds fantastic even with that extra pickguard on it lol. I guess it could be a vintage one but don't think so.
  7. I bought one, replaced my old 1994 Epi Hummingbird with it. It's wwwaaayyyy better than my old one, save for possibly how pretty that old one was!
  8. I bought one over the summer from Sweetwater. It's fantastic! Perfect setup right out of the box and sounds incredible. I've played the USA Frontier and while it was very nice as well I don' think it's 4X as good!
  9. Anyone actually opened the little envelope with the Adidas sticker? Wondering if it’s a sticker or a vinyl peel-n-stick that you can remove?
  10. My NGJ150 is amazing! Plays and sounds beautiful. The only complaint I would have about it is that the back has very little "flame" compared to the example pics on the Gibson website. The shoulders have a bit more than the example pics though. Obviously wood is different and as long as it sounds great I'm not bothered with that. Side question - anyone know what strings come from the factory? Is it the bronze or the phospher bronze?
  11. Is there anything unique about the case that I'm not aware of? Seems like just a regular case to me.
  12. I'm curious as well, although my NG J-150 doesn't seem to have that, but does have some nice flame on the sides
  13. EF-500M now too! https://www.ebay.com/itm/234083346333?hash=item368074679d:g:tQkAAOSwLmlg6I3l
  14. I need new knobs for my two archtops, a Sheraton II from 2012 and a Noel Gallagher Supernova. I bought the Gibson brand ones but they seem like they don't quite fit correctly. Are they the right ones and I'm just putting them on wrong? What about these from StewMac? https://www.stewmac.com/parts-and-hardware/knobs/top-hat-bell-reflector-knob.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Retargeting&fbclid=IwAR3cv9xWBsGbCiQfAQxZZvi8SV1bUB1Rw8O9q7EgycYw6ff7eDrNyygqH64
  15. Probably, but just to be sure buy a beater guitar you can play by the pool!
  16. I'm with a lot of the other folks here and think that looks gorgeous! But if you don't like it then I say exchange it.
  17. I'm buying some just for that name product to be on my shelf lol
  18. That one is interesting. It could just be the camera angle, but it looks like the left side of the back has lots of flame while the right side has little. Mine has almost no flame on the rear of it, but there's some nice flame on the shoulders. I think I prefer having it on the shoulders if I had to choose.
  19. Ya being that Noel is using a natural one now too it may as well be considered a NG J-150 too!
  20. Not one bit of that for me! Mine has to be one of the most impressive sounding and feeling guitars I've ever played. Been really happy with it!
  21. Thanks guys, picked some up and got it cleaned up nicely! Ended up going ahead and removing the guard off my Epi EF-500M as well. Both clean as clean can be!
  22. Ya I was a bit worried about the nut width as well. J-150 has 1.69” and J-200 1.73” but I haven’t found it to be that much different in feel. I picked up an Epi IBG Hummingbird a few weeks ago and it has the same 1.69” so already been playing with that.
  23. Forgot to ask, any particular brand that you’d recommend? Home Depot nearby has this - https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klean-Strip-1-qt-Varnish-Maker-and-Painter-s-Naphtha-QVM46/100122813
