  2. Just for curiousity sake, a little past 3/4 of the way down, just after the Washburn section is the Fascinator. They were overpriced, didn't sell, and were discontinued. The rectangular box w/Fascinator logo is the Gibson id (vs Regal) according to the various info I can find. fwiw http://www.fox-guitars.com/Gibson-Made_Brands.html Slightly worse for the wear:
  3. zw, no doubt about what you're saying. The guy I bought my 59' LG3 from ($500) threw in the Fascinator. The LG3 needed a good bit of reconditioning work but it turned into a prince. I started on the Fascinator, stopped and started again... then decided it was a frog and much more than a smooch was needed. The mahog and spruce (adi?) is very good wood, but the bracing inside is buggered to n'th. I quit drinking 20+ yrs ago, if I restart this project it might push me off the wagon. There's a little man inside my head who keeps telling me 'put it in a cave for the troglodytes when they return', dunno. best
  4. Thanks for story, love these old archtops, had a 46' ES150 for 35yrs. I have kinda sorta given up on restoring my 1935 Tonk Bros Fascinator by Gibson, it has the same lovely binding of your guitar.... but in a world of bad shape. The Fascinator was a low end model and not sure it would ever be worth the trouble. I picked up a 2012 John Pisano by Eastman and well... the Tonk slumbers. regards
  5. Willie Dixon is smilin.... Elvis did a song about your dog.
  6. Rosewood saddles are still used on archtops with nickel strings. You might like nickel strings with the bone saddle? jedzep.. love that innovative idea on the bridge. I cut my own bone nut/saddles and love to tweak. great job
  7. GC in Marietta GA has a 1993 J200 jr on the wall which I played a week ago. Also tried another 1992 at a different store. The maple/sitka on both had a dull/sluggish voice in the deep tones, not a clear tone to my ear. The mids-highs were excellent on both but the deep tones were a stopper for me. It's not like the HD28 bottom-out tone, just muddy to my ear. I think if you find one that has clear deep tones you'll have a jewel. Best wishes.
