[New Guitar Day]

Well done.

[NGD-non Gibson]

Well done.

[Two Gibson’s consigned, and one in the door...]

Very nice CW, enjoy!  I have a  SS Crow CW myself that has pretty much claimed first place with me among my Gibsons.       … That AJ has caught my eye, hmm.

[Love this! Hedvig Mollestad Trio.]

Really nice.  A hint of Soft Machine!   Thanks for the post.

[D-Day]

A,  WELL DONE and an OUTSTANDNG to all who participated.

[USA Property tax]

wry smile insert

[Just bought my first Gibson...]

Welcome and well done.

[AJ Supreme]

That was good.  Enjoyed the song , the guitar and the vocal.  Thanks for the sharing.

[unexpected absence from home]

Well done, and get well soon.  Sounds better there than here on caring level!

[Repairing an Acoustic Bridge Plate]

Great post!  Much appreciated, re: time and trouble.  I have a Plate Mate from StewMac on  an old Norlin SJ and it does the trick, but your own plate looks much more effective.   Well done. 

[What Ya'll think so far?]

Yea, I don't do well with change either … especially on these infernal devices.

[How much for a haircut where you live?]

Who has hair still?

[One Gibson and One Martin only]

Southern Jumbo, D18

[Corrosion]

I wash my hand before I play a guitar. That helps the strings last.

[Gibson 70's era Cut-Off Dates]

I have a 73 SJ I have kept, but I would for certain have to be able to play and inspect from that era before a buy.

[Polish a satin finish]

I don't know about satin, but I have polished a couple of VOS finishes to gloss without any problems...……. if that helps your thought process any.

[New amp day]

Well Done.

[Happy Birthday, Link Wray!]

Yes, with my Melody Maker and Skylark amp. Much appreciated post. edit: plus white T shirt, black Chuck Taylor high tops. Levis and Crew Glue!

[A look inside a new 2019 Les Paul 60s Standard]

Stayed for the entire video. Nice Les Paul guitar!

[Another Attempt At A Les Paul]

Good luck with this one. I know what you mean. I maintain a 58RI from 2008 and an old The Paul in my collection. The weight of the 58 has always kept me from being comfortable playing and enjoying it. Great guitar for a young strong back, but that isn't me. Hope though, you are happy this time with your new LP. It sure is pretty!

[fingerpicks]

I second this, although you sacrifice volume I can still get what I need (especially w/ a mic or p'up). I feel it's just plain easier to stick with the fingers (not long fingernails either). Probably lots of reasons why this doesn't work, but I say simpler is better...

 

I third it. Have preferred my own nails since it all began.

[Using John Lennon For Advertising Is Wrong...]

Yea, guess I'll suspend all my endorsements.

[New J45 Standard Sound Question]

And one vote for John Pearse 12s phos brz. I try everything and always come back to these on all my guitars, including two J-45s. *Give yourself and the guitar some time together. Good luck!

[Does Tone-Rite really work?]

So …………………………………………… I believe I'll just pass on the 10 day thing then as it's all just too subjective to step into any deeper.

[Does Tone-Rite really work?]

I ran the ToneRite at mid for 72 hours on two Gibsons mentioned early on here. I was cautious about the setting and hem-hawed about the results. I'll fire it up on high and let it go for ten days and see if I notice anything more conclusive. Have to pick out a guitar I'm willing to use as a tester first. Will probably use a Quilt Bird for this time around.
