Zomby, which round hole archtops do you have? We are a dying breed!! lol

Man, you could meditate on the back of your Koa J-200.....just beautiful!

Man, I must say, I like your screen name....GREAT blues name!!!! Wish I'd thought of it!!!

Congradulations on the new house....Let me know if you need any professional advice. I'm a residential Architect, and often do pre-buy walk throughs, with clients, offering design advice/critique BEFORE they get the house....Client gets a few ideas, and often avoids a "difficult" house.....Have a great holiday!

Live music...thanks for the great advice on the forum about songwriting....

(continued) That argument falls flat when you consider the numbers and quality of Taylor and Martin (which are basically machined and assembled and not "luthiered" as Gibsons are, but still....I think people who buy Gibsons are looking for a sound and accept the imperfections as the "character" of a gibson, how else to explain it?

Devellis....I really appreciated you post about QC at Gibson..... I agree with you totally....When a Gibson costs as much as a Collings, Bourgeois, Huss & Dalton (and to some extent Santa Cruz) who consistantly put out virtually flawless guitars, THAT is the big question. Let's say it's impossible to put out flawless guitars with thwe numbers tha Gibson produces???

Hi Soao...never heard back from you.....everything OK?

I have no idea why they locked it?? Poor guy, if you believe his story, he paid $1600 for a guitar you can get online for $400...that's why I don't use ebay...it's almost criminal...the seller should be prosecuted

Hi Soao......I didn't know there were so many varieties of turtle picks.....I imagine only Sea turtles are protected right? My frirnd used to try and find combs and jewelery boxes and such in antique stores to make picks out of them....lol....where did you ger yours?

Hi Stein...here is the guitar I'm interested in.....

Let me know if you can help...I'm interested in the Tacoma Papoose for $250 (or less if he will take less...lol....) It looks like it is in good shape

Bob...I knoqw you have old and new Gibsons, guitars with bling, and very plain.....but here is my question for you....which of all your guitars, do you feel has the best sound for you? I know it's like saying you have a favorite child......but just wondering....That Kel Kroyden must be right up there if it sound anything like my friend's.....mabe rank the top five..I would be interested...

Hi Matt.....When I post these things, you never know where they are going to go, but always fun.......take care!

Here is the link.....I am going to see if he wants to trade....and was trying to see what the used ones go for......

Thanks for your help...Robert

But I can really "hone" a song by playing it in public....conversely...I really know when a song is a "dud" for my voice and playing style..if you know what I mean....good luck on your gigs.....break a leg!!!

Great to hear from you!! I was off the forum for quite a while..all the infighting and personal attacks were getting to be too much....it has calmed down a bit...just NEVER say anything that can be construed as negative against the Mother company....lol..I'm still doing my Cafe gig.....I have found that playing in front of others...is the BEST practice possible..I don't know how...

How you doing old man??? Good to see you!!!

Jannus...Hope all is OK with you, I see you are upset, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater....anyway...take care...it does bug me too, and I really hate the company policies...but there are a lot of good workers and good products

Moe....if I may ask......What do you charge for a house party??? I've been offered a gig at a house party, and have NO idea what the going rate is??? Any help appreciated

Hi, Thanks Chas..Back of neck is rounded but not chunky...1 3/4" nut...there is a lot of specification information on the web:
