No info from me either……However, if Gibson made it before, chances are they’ll do it again……in one form or another. Whatever, it will likely be a very sweet instrument.

We get older, but do we get wiser? Most of us do, but for me that doesn’t mean we have to grow-up.

Good, good music! Nothing beats human emotions and music. Very cool.

I’ve never noticed any potential visual imperfections on my guitars. In all sincerity, I don’t look for them. Don’t know that it matters to me. Maybe it should, but it don’t. I can understand why some people take it very seriously. ……..If I like a guitar, I just play it.

Naive question here.
What does it do?
or is that irrelevant?
I’m with you. Have no idea what I’d use it for. I get lost with all the music gear if I need to do much more than plug it into the wall and then into my guitar.

I’ve been using an IPAD for several years now. I’ve got a desktop computer, but use the IPAD a lot more. I take it to all my gigs and have all my songs/music setup on it. For me, it’s very convenient for gigs.

J15s are a great guitar. Same for the J35. All the big “flagship” models are going to be far north of two grand. You might find a used one in the 2000 neighborhood, but it would likely be closer to 2500 or 3000.

when I was little I'd crawl up onto the rear deck of my dads old Plymouth. when he would brake i'd roll off and slam into the back of the front seat. it was a lot of fun. he'd laugh too. lol. ponds were still clean enough to swim in. swimming in streams in the woods behind my house, catching salamanders, playing baseball till it was so dark you could barely see the ball , the baseball was 3/4 electrical tape cuz the stitching was busting loose. cracked bats nailed n taped together. you had to hold them just right or it would sting your hands when you hit the ball. letting the water run from the garden hose till it got cold. building ramps to run your bike off of cuz Knievel just made another jump. being gone all day long without your parents freaking out.

How did my generation drink from a garden hose and not come home till the street lights were on and survive?
Same here. At the parks we’d drink out of the water fountains and so did the dogs. There were no such things as seat belts and riding in the bed of my dad’s El Camino was a blast.

I would like to say April 16th of this year I've been drug free for 29 years. life is relatively calm & quiet these days.
God bless you, my friend!
i don’t take chances anymore. I stop and think about what I’m doing before I do it. I don’t play senior softball anymore. My doctor said I could, but I can’t throw the ball because of a torn rotator cup. It hurts like hell to throw a ball and I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold a guitar in the position I always have. I don’t drive fast cars now. Life is more precious and more precarious. I can still do most things I want to do, but now they’re not so necessary. I just want to do what I can for as long as I can. So far, so good.

I change strings approx. once a year, along with the batteries. I rotate my guitars in-and-out of gigs. So long as they sound good to me, I’m good with it.

Run…….Lots of Asian fakes being passed-off as the real thing.

Just wait until this guy gets going and shows us what shredding is all about.

Excellent, Anne! Done in your own quiet and very personal way. I particularly like how you pause between words and phrases, adding drama and tension. You are VERY easy-to-listen-to.

Anyone regularly play an arch top? Like most of us in here, I sure as hell don’t need another guitar, but the bear must be fed. Anyway, I’ve always kind of been intrigued by them, but always considered them to be “big band” and Jazz guitars. Last Saturday I saw/heard this gal fingerpicking a Godin arch top and it had a really good acoustic sound. I thought they were all electric guitars.

I need to get that. I have it on my list of stuff to get. It took me a while to get used to his voice.
For me he might be the best songwriter of them all. Lots of songwriters I can connect with : Dylan, Cash, Lightfoot, Joanie Mitchell, Carol King, Rodney Crowell, and numerous others, but Prine had a way-with-words that tends to surpass all the others. He seemed to talk about everyday things in simple ways I’ve never thought about. I enjoy them all, but John Prine is special. One of the things they all have in-common (to my ears) is that their songs seem made for a lone human and a guitar.
-
Last album I got was a collection of John Prine songs. I love his stuff.

A few weeks ago, on Facebook, there was some Chinese outfit offering J200s, Birds, D28s, etc. for $59.00.

Haven’t watched this video since it first showed-up in here. However, I must admit that watching it now has given me the opportunity to notice some things I might have missed earlier……First, I really like her Gibson. Plus, her hands/fingers are very nimble on the piano. In addition, she’s aging well. Thus, I’ve decided that I probably would not kick her out of bed for eating crackers.
-
Maybe the particle board is coming apart……Just joking. I have no idea…..But, if it’s a sweet guitar, it likely wouldn’t bother me.
-
She was really special. One of a kind and a real nice human being from what I’ve read over the years.
-
And the world changes……Hope I don’t accidentally buy one of those things, mistaking it for a guitar…..Guess I’ll have to WATCH-out!

yea, - I can't imagine the guys that walk around with Rolex or even higher priced watches.
then again, I'd bet most of those guys don't get why we have 25 guitars..
Yeah, but those guys don’t understand that guitars are like women. You can’t have too many.
