    INTRODUCE YOURSELF

    in Gibson Acoustic

    Wow! Beautiful guitar, Welcome aboard. Lot's of members from your neighborhood here.

     

    Hi All

     

    New here, from lovely chilly London (but Australia originally). I'm a casual player and always wanted a Gibson, but somehow always put it off as I couldn't justify it for cost reasons. Still, over Christmas I got my dad a Epiphone Hummingbird, which was so nice that it got me thinking, maybe I'd get a Hummingbird for myself, but a Gibson. So I went online to research and after a lot, and I mean a lot of deliberation ended up with the Songwriter Deluxe. I had heard good things about the SWD and the price here in the UK was decent when ordering from Thomann in Germany (even if ordering a guitar off the internet made me a little nervous, but no worries in the end, the process went very smoothly and the guitar has a lovely tone straight out the box), couldn't be happier with how smoothly it all went. I wasn't sure if a hard case was included but thankfully it was.

     

    I ended up getting the Songwriter Deluxe Custom EC in Vintage Sunburst, mainly as I play up the fret board from time to time, plus the electro-acoustic nature of the guitar could come in useful from time to time and I'm always partial to some tasteful bling (I'm going to keep the guitar for decades so why not go extra for the Custom). Went the sunburst option as am quite fond of that look.

     

    All in all, I just love the guitar, I had also for a long while mulled over whether or not to get a J200, I think some variant of that will be my next guitar down the road to complement the SWD.

     

    Here are a few pics btw:

    J60 bought in 1970????

    I bought a Gibson guitar in 1970 at the Sam Ash Music Store in Hempstead, NY. I still have the sales slip. It very clearly says on it that it is a J60 model.

     

    The guitar itself is in excellent condition. I am trying to determine its value. Is there any way to run the serial number against a database to be sure what model it is.

     

    Is it possible that it is a J60 from 1970?

     

    Thanks for the help.

     

    Look for a serial number on the label or printed in ink inside the guitar. post pictures of said guitar. and pray that it isn't a 1970
