That was mighty good - and the dread sounds distinguished proud. Lots of authority in both song- and wood-work.

Only 1 respons ~
Wonder if the bros. ever realized they went Norlin.

They call it T-type I believe.
Probably the so called Calibrated T-Type humbuckers. Look forward to hear what you think about them.

Always so intriguing - which pic-ups do we hear ?

Zooming in on a 335 here and find it necessary to ask about the 'tabs' on the Tune-O-Matic bridge/saddle. Nylon or steel-chrome ? What is the difference on an electric guitar. Bass-mid-treb-wise. .
I'm certain this is the best place on earth to bring the Q forward. Even though it may be hard to describe the 2 flavors.
Thx.

Hello People,
Three years later, i found the real name of the seller (liar and thief) of my fake Gibson Dove. His real name is John Cihelka and he lives in St-Adolphe d'Howard province of Québec. Sometimes, he call himself Frank, George, Jean or Del Monaco. He is selling his fake gears between Montréal / Ottawa / Winsor area.
There is many complain on this man on kijiji.
Cheers
Splendid work, Olive 🎖️ Keep all senses awake , , , , and take a good long weekend. .

Don’t post allot but what is the easiest way to post a pictures ? Keeps saying file to big, do you have to change the file size on the picture ?Yes, I get that too. Has become harder for me to post pictures - also by Imgur. Still use it though - load up there and now copy Direct Link.
Try Imgur, sir.

Better stay safe inside that groovy uke, Buc - apart from that it would suit you well. .May Santa be the great decider.

I had done something similar. I picked up a 1957 Gibson country western with a headstock break and someone attached a 12 string headstock to the neck
Wonder when this happened, , , and if there are pics, , , and sounds. .

Don't know if the new one would fit like hand in glove, but basically yes. You (obviously) need the be aware of the exact scale-length, , , and perhaps compensate by the saddle. This of course would be harder if the 66er still has the adjustable ceramic or rosewood saddle-insert.
I had a 1966 CW which got a long scale Gibson neck - but the adjust. had been fixed already. The luthier moved the new standard sized slim saddle.
Good luck - have the feeling finding a free flying neck is a challenge in itself.
Do tell more as you go.

This seems to be one of those instruments that can create miracles on a track. Well, , , , maybe it doesn't even need a track. .
I'm sure it will blend well with your wife's 200.

I just picked up a hog-backed jumbo Guild 12-string (F-212XL). I've already got a rosewood backed jumbo Guild F-512 and a jumbo Guild braceless arched lam maple backed JF30-12.
The new F212XL really surprised me. It is a monster of a sound maker, oddly like my JF30-12. The F512 rosewood is a bit more refined and not shouting it out from the rafters like the other two. Still, all keepers.
F-212XLCongratulations ^ it looks stunning. Some guitars have a certain authority about them - count the Guild above in.
And heps for that serious 'Triangle of 36-bronze'. Never ever heard of anything like it. An impressing'n'original passion.
I 'only' have an older Ibanez here - when asked it says "I'll do my best, yes".

Heck. Smell The Glove got censored, and that was way back in 1984.
Hehe, , , yea, censorship wasn't invented yesterday. The butcher-cover got the knife somewhere around 1966. .

I think it’s one boy and one girl on the cover. That cover does not come out in todays woke world.
Go to where it says packaging and it talks about the cover.
Okay, the climbing kids are siblings, which doesn't move the immediate interpretation of the scenery : Young fans exploring rock/rocks.
Is your woke-statement serious - has the cover been censored/altered in re-releases !?
Anyways, the outer motif doesn't really blend with the inner gatefold. And the same can to some degree be said about the 'Zep 4' sleeve. Yet I personally like the idea of the old torn down house with wallpaper & framed picture in contrast to the modernistic block in the background - and in that context the branch-carrying geezer may work. Still it's a strangely sentimental point-of-view or angle when considering we're talking a progressive rock band in the midst of a cultural explosion.
That said, it was just a few years after a new conscience regarding the irreplaceable value of some older buildings/scenes/environments was bein brought to life over here (don't know 'bout US). Up til circa 1968/69 all new was considered progress - and tearing down old miserable stuff didn't cause much reflection. The Zep-camp might have sensed there was an awakening zone in between. .

It’s just an album cover. Houses Of The Holy had naked kids on the cover climbing on rocks, why? Once again it’s just an album cover that someone came up with and the band approved of it for the cover.
It's the same kid, isn't it - the same young fan exploring the ROCK realm.
But an old burdened man ?! , , , found on a market by the front singer. . . -

Hehe, , , at the other hand LP-covers had shown and taught us quite a bit at that point already.
Seems the berries was a double sweet coincidence.

Not long after I bought my first Reel to Reel Tape Recorder.. It was a Sony that had Sound on Sound capability. I was able to layer Tracks! WOW! I thought it was the Coolest thing! I still think it’s pretty amazing.. Although, the Technology has evolved so much it’s amazing what you can do now!
Les Paul was the first that I know of to layer Tracks. But, Paul made it really Great!
I remember Neil Young praising the record for its loose qualities not so many years ago.
Admit it was like that - pretty avantgarde, , , and let's not forget it happened before Bob's Self Portrait.

The main differences will be the nut width and that bracing across the board started getting heavier around 1968. Your '67 will have the skimpy nut while a '69 will have returned to the 1 11/16" nut. Other than the J200 which stared sporting the so -called Fuller Brace in the early 1960s, the "extra bracing" you are talking about did not enter the picture until 1971. As to the pickguards they started to get thicker much earlier than the end of the decade. As far as I know though the now infamous "flubber" pickguards are associated with Bozeman and not Kalamazoo-made instruments.
This was my guide into the very same topic 13 years ago speaking. What a voyage it has been. . .

Someone should tell these fellas that they are not being very sexy. Probably has plastic pickguard protector on his black p/g. Prob also knows a Joni Mitchell song:
😆 Just heard the tune by writer Malvina Reynolds and also the P. Seeger version for the first times in 40 years. And actually liked it a little - interesting too, , , as it points fingers at all the sources that keep a healthy society running. In that way it both very well behaved and a tool for dangerously undermining counter-culture.
Will zoom in on If I had a Hammer during the weekend. .

I generally hate the look of pick guards so I don't have much experience with them. Do they get marks on them from playing? If so, do people replace them eventually? If not I'm wondering why someone hasn't invented some kind of coating that could be put in the same area as a pick guard that would protect it.
1 - Yes, but nothing serious the first many years.
2 - No-no-no, , , some people replace them for primarily 2 reasons : deterioration fx lift ups and taste. But the majority of p-guard-players just keep them as they are which works fine.
There are kind of transparent films to put on the helpless top. Very un-sexy and only for over careful 'sissies' and clever-heads who probables will play Little Boxes on a Hillside all their life. .
Bee Gees J200
in Gibson Acoustic
Posted
Point taken - my question was primarily meant as a general question. Who and who didn't understand the significant change of the acoustic Gibsons from 1968/70 and many years on. Talkin 'lay-people' and pros. The Gibbs, who I liked a lot over the many decades, especially in the early phase, would very hard to figure there. They used acoustics yes, but never in that serious singersongwriter way where the Norlin-effects would stand out. And for a good solid strummed rhythm-part inside a song there's even a chance the tight N will be better.
I'll have to look into the CBS phenomenon.
And agree, , , a good well kept and seriously broken in Norlin can be a fine experience - a different one though. .
