    Bridge pins for J-45?

    in Gibson Acoustic

    Posted · Edited by Hall

    I agree with jt's insight on this one.  I have guitar cases and drawers all over the  house with no longer used custom made bone bridge pins in them!  I'm always on the look out for small topped pins be they bone , ebony, rosewood , plastic or any material really.  The smaller the top and the less mass to the pin makes a difference I think I can hear on my guitars.

    Thanks, Buc.  I wanted and needed to see that one again as I could kind of remember it!             

       *jt, point taken.  I just appreciated the lad's explanations a bit more the second time through.   Maybe the owner  had to go with who he could afford, or with who he had knowledge and was comfortable, etc.   We  do not know the circumstances.

    I watched the video a second time, and enjoyed again.  It's always interesting to watch an instrument receiving attention.   I listened a little closer and absorbed a little better what the guy had to say about why he did what he did, particularly with the back braces and the plate.   Whether we can agree with him or not so, he did offer an explanation to why he was doing what he was  doing in those two areas.  I would sure like to think such was with the owner's blessing for certain.  But, it was worth hearing what he was saying to explain his actions .

    I'm very aware of what is inside a guitar. I'm just curious what "interesting stuff" is inside this particular series that I'm expected to scour the internet to find a single, unnamed YouTube review to learn about.

    I'm beginning to remember why I took an eight-year hiatus from this forum.

    Gimme a break you guys.   I ran into the video on the Acoustic Guitar Forum.

    Hall,

    Are you going to tell us what they found inside, or are we supposed to guess?

    OK.

    I'll go first.

    They are actually built from re-purposed Ikea bookcases?

    RBSin To:  No, I'm not telling.  I'm not buying one either.  Just thought some folks might want to go to YouTube and watch the video for themselves.

    I just watched a 26 minute pretty intensive review of the Gibson G-45.  The guy was more impressed with the soft case than the guitar.  I must be yesteryear plus on the case thing.  I thought he was pretty harsh on the guitar.  It sounded ok to me on decent speakers.   I saw his point on a lot of stuff, but not every negative point.  And, it passed some criticals. I ran into the review on another site by chance.  I guess it is on YouTube also.  They cut the guitar and there  was interesting stuff on the inside.  fyi

    Cool how that works.  [omg]

    I'm at an age where things concerning computer capabilities that much younger people take for granted and are routine for them are still fascinating to me.  [wink]

    In the same place and of the same age.    I'm afraid computers and phones will always remain contraptions to me.  Ouch.

    I have held onto my only artist signature guitar which is a SC CW from the 2011 run and before Gibson charged an extra grand for the name and/or torrefaction process.   It was $2,300  then.  The ten years past figures into the price also, I realize.  Back then that was too much really!  It is  one of my favorite guitars on sound and build.  I'd love to compare it with the current one.  That would answer the torrefying question once and for all for me.

    The space they occupied is now empty, and no one is going to fill it.   It doesn't matter who that person was to rest the world, to the people who they have left behind, (kids, parents, spouse) they were their world.   That means something to everyone with a pulse.

     

     

    Well put, kidblast.  Thank you.

    OK if you're home and don't drop your guard.
     

    As the virus took hold at first, guys I worked peripherally with in the building trades began to bemoan their soon to be lost jobs. One asked me if I needed help. He said he's ready to rob a f....kin bank if he has to. A light went on in my brain,  and realizing if things go downhill, I'm going to want some kind of alert and record of who goes up and down my isolated driveway. Grab and run hits are on the rise in an ever worsening economy, so my plans were laid.

    I can wave a gun at someone who I find standing in the doorway, too, but it's the lone country house that gets the attention of random marauders.

    That is why I have Brad and Brent .

    Gabor, you want 3M 300LSE double sided adhesive sheets.  I have used on HB guard.  Re-stick the entire thing with this and your problems are in the past.   There is a post with good directions on here somewhere.   Maybe one of the computer knowledgables on the forum here can find it for you.  If not, I'll look.
