  1. Hard to dislike anything about that tone, and nice tasty strumming also!
  2. Because its not a Gibson. Simple truth.
  3. Love this look with the waverleys and 200 guard. The J-15 has always been a weakness for me, lovelly Gibson in its our right.
  4. Sounds like a bit like Ship Song or Weeping Song, take a listen Lars. The song from a few years back, technically its done, I play it out live and it gets feedback positive, it does sound good. But .. Ive still not fully recorded it with all the parts, no idea why. I had so many people push me to lay it out done so its part of my history but I still have not done it. Might be a winter challenge !
  5. Thanks for the input folks. I checked again and noticed the ones with compensated saddle were the biggest culprits, the Dove and J-150 specifically. The TV Hummingbird is spot and suprisingly, or maybe not the 43' LG-2 has 100% spot on intonation, even after 80 years. Might take the maple cousins for checkup at the luthier..
  6. Its a mix of straight and compnsated saddles. I do have a good luthier i could take them to. You guys dont have this problem on your Gibbys ??
  7. Why is it so rubbish ? Almost all of my Gibsons intonation gets really poor as i fret up the neck, where its almost half a tone off normally when im on the say low B on the 7th fret. When I try my Furch its dead on, and the Martin pretty close, but the Gibbys so sloppy. Why is that, and is there a way to fix this folks ? cheers, EA
  8. Lars, have you been listening to Nick Cave tuens recently ?? Sounds the prince of darkness all over yoru song, love the organ !
  9. Hey Sal, for this type of stumming i thoght the the J-45 really sounded wonderful, open, musical. The Martin sounded quite compressed, not so many notes ringing out. Would be good to compare the two fingerpicked, where i would imagine the Martin would excel more.
  10. Actually, pretty big fan of Gibson maple here, but only on large bodies ..own the Dove and J-150 and love the warmth, yet cripness of those guitars, not missing the overtones you tend to get with rosewood. I had two rosewood Gibsons, the Songwriter and the Advanced Jumbo, moved them on both. Still own a Martin with rosewood but hardly ever play it. Personal taste I guess.
  11. Owned the cut away version. Sold it. Sound it like Gibson meets Taylor. But i also realised I dont like rosewood backed Gibson acoustics.
  12. As i dont gig much these days i realised i now change strings on average six to nine months, maybe more on some. But … as im doing a 3 hour gig today and have really worn Elixirs on the J-150 i thought it might be worth a change. Wow, the tonal differnece is massive, especially on the bass, and when plugged in a gorgoeus light chorus shimmer is heard. Old strings on a qulity guitar sound great, but new strings give great dynamics and value also.
  13. My 2002 J-150 i managed to buy for $1400 ten years ago. Its my favourite Gibson in the stable, the tone and playability is supreme. Not surprised they go for 3-4k now, that period was majestic for those guitars.
