Working at the unemployment office would be a tough job.
You'd know, even if you got fired, you'd still have to come back in...

A truck driver stopped at a roadside diner for lunch and ordered a cheeseburger, coffee and a slice of apple pie. As he was about to eat, three bikers walked in......
One grabbed the trucker's cheeseburger and took a huge bite from it. The second one drank the trucker's coffee, and the third wolfed down his apple pie. The truck driver didn't say a word as he paid the waitress and left.
As the waitress walked up, one of the motorcyclists growled, "He ain't much of a man, is he?"
"He's not much of a driver, either," the waitress replied. "He just backed his 18-wheeler over three motorcycles."-

Don't worry, I'm here to stay to crap on your pie and make you eat it too.
I don't get that one !
I'm just saying Gibson needs entry level guitars at a decent price to keep relevant. The J-45 is no longer a "workhorse" because they're too expensive for a working shlub to drag around to coffee shops for tips.
The J-15 fits that bill, as does the G45.
And they need to keep the tree-huggers off their arse's, because they tend to whine loudly. These kids feel a need to save the World and walnut fits right in.

Putting the girl up first was good manners.
Walnut is a great wood. My J-15 is full sized, so sounds very full. It's a different animal from my Rosewood/Ebony J-45, but it's certainly not bad. It's just different.
As for Gibson building those thinner bodies and the low price, doubters don't have any idea of the concept of keeping the lights turned on and making payroll.
As for the whiners, you can always start your own guitar company. Start your own Forum while you're at it.

I'm sorry you elders refuse to admit his voice is not what it once was.
I never mentioned his voice. Ever.
McCartney's voice isn't what it once was.
Nobody's voice is what it once was.
Who gives a crap? He's Bob freakin' Dylan. It's the package, man. The big picture.

I saw Bob in the last few years. Great show, the King of stage presence, fantastic Band.
Shut up and respect your elders. He's earned every quirk, and we are all aging together.
He's outsold every damn one of us.
He doesn't tour and work because he needs the money. There is still a demand.

The best amp for an ES-339 is a Mesa Blue Angel.

Don't know Epi's but I bought the first year Gibson ES-339.
I went acoustic and swapped it off, but it was a GREAT guitar.

Get up and get something done ya bunch of slackers...

Is it hand wired, point to point, in U.S.A. ?
It should be for those dollars.
In which case it's pretty sweet.
I had a Holland amp for a minute around 1998, but let it slip away.

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin.
However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his buttocks. The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.
After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty!
One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you."
"My darling," he replied, "I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."
