Good reminder to humidify your Gibsons folks ...

Sounds good Buc, think this is the righ key for ya.

Did you notice how pristine the backs of both guitars looked ? I have a feeling something really, really heave fell on top of them both at the same time..

wow ... ive never heard a Gibson with such note clarity like on that Dove ...frigging amazing.

I own a 2008 Dove and 2002 J-150 (J-200 without binding). Id say the main diff is the super jumbo is more balanced, while more bottom end with the Dove. I really like the Dove a lot, even more than my Hummingbird, but, the J-150 is just too good and gets 80% of play.

43mm nut for a banner LG-2 ? Are they nuts ? My 43' is 45mm and baseball bat profile ...and 19 frets.

They both sound good but im wondering if a baggage handler was having fun with them on the same flight ....jeez.

Thats really lovelly Guth. I do recall hearing a couple of your tracks some 8 years ago that I really loved. It really inspired me to start my journey with fingerpicking. This is a lovelly reminder.

I wanted to kill this guy after 1o mins ...soooh annoying.

So I was told from others i was bit too bleak and the demanded a happier tune ... but todya the sun is out, so here is my fave happy go lucky tune from The Cure .. The maple jumbo in full flight in this one. Sal says to keep on posting so ..

glad you enjoy it .. here is a live versioin of the original for those not familiar with the track .... gorgeous track, meloncholy, sad ..

Keith, good to hear from you, thank you for listening and stay safe !

Anne, thank you,. Good to hear from you, stay safe our there !

Yeah, probably a bit too much projection for straigjt up strumming (like an AJ) but for lead work, finerpicking and hybrid strumming its a winner ...which is more Slash's kina style, so makes sense.

Very smooth Sal. And that J-45 studio has a lovelly dry tone to it, dont it ?

Thanks for listening and your comments guys, nice to be back on the board. Yeah, i just felt like i wanted to capture this tune in the current mood. Yes Lars, Nick Cave & Bad Seeds, and yes, it does showcase the power of the big bodied maple Gibby Jumbo. I really do love how it sounds plugged in, both in terms of the note clarity but also the layers of sound you can get out with relatively little work .. theres only two chords in the song, but the single notes really do ring out. Stay safe out there and thank you for listening and commenting. EA

Absolutely Sal, glad youre posting also, what else were gonna do ... took a pandemic to get me out of my slumber.

Kinda captures the mood of the world right now ...doesn' it ? Trust youre all keeping safe out there and self isolating in your man caves with the Gibbies !

What a great comparisement. Both sounded great,. I was listening mainly from a perpective as the guiar as a vocal companion. I thought if just on its own, played without vocals Id prefer the chunky, dry tone of the vintage SJ. But with vocals, Id go for the lusher, less boomy tone of the modern SJ.

I do .. havent sold off since the AJ about 3 years ago. Just dont play out much these days, but its all still hangin on the wall. But if I was going to let a Bird go it would be the Hummy over the Dovey ...

30 second sample .., pleease..?

Nice one, and great to see they went back to proper sunburst rather than that orange honey burst they’ve been applying for years on the standard, non vintage models.

I also got one of these cheap wireless systems but went back to cable as i found the tone was a bit compromised and more importantly could hear a split second delay which put me off when also doing vocals. Pity.

Given this thread is six year old you might have some challenges with getting a response. However I had a custom guard made for my J-150 few years back that still looks like new and is of much better quality than the standard version you get on a J-200 these days.
