  1. Don't tell anyone but I played the wife's Guild today, too.  

    It's one of those GAD models from the exotic orient and after a few years it's started to sound really good.  I guess it just takes time for these things to come around.  

    P.S.

    I did play a Gibson but it was a Firebird (the kind you plug in).  No Gibson acoustics here but if we had one I would have been happy to have played that, too!

  2. Thank you.  These are old pics but same guitar.

    Yes, you should go get you one!  You'll have a friend for life in it.

    P.S.

    This is an HD-28V which is a bit warmer sounding and has a stouter neck than the HD-28.  Either one will do, though!

  3. I don't know why this is but during the warm months I only play electric guitars.

    As soon as the weather turns to crap out come the acoustics to cheer me up.  It  must be something from my childhood when I found comfort in playing an acoustic.  Have something a bit better than what I did as a kid, though!

  4. I've had 07, 13 and now a 2014 Firebird V.

    The 2013 and 2014 have lower frets than my 07 did.  I don't miss the 2007 one, the 2013 was a beauty, my 2014 is my favorite guitar.

    There was a nice 2014 on eBay that just went for $950, I thought about getting it but I'm buying two (as in two) used motorcycles soon - one Triumph, one Buell.

     

  5. I think this guy is a moron who just destroyed a perfectly good guitar.

    Finish checking is caused by either rapid temperature swings (cold guitar into warm room) or the wood wasn't dried properly at the factory.  Ted McCarty was horrified when he took over the reins many years ago and purchased kilns to get things done properly.

  6. If you are the original owner who filled out the Warranty Card, I would contact Gibson and tell them that what you have isn't what you believed you were purchasing.

    I would have done that first to give them a chance to correct things.

    They've always been a stand up company in my limited dealings with them.
