My daughter has an Epiphone that is a fine guitar for the money.
Not a fan of Yamaha.

My experience with walnut was I thought it was a louder brighter version on rosewood. The issue I have is it exposes my flaws more than rosewood.
I'd agree the walnut is brighter. But (in my case) not louder. But, like I said, the top has a lot to do with that.
My J-45 (rosewood) is a booming cannon for some reason.

They say it’s because Rosewood allows a scooped Mid Range which is considered ideal for Guitarist’s who Sing…
I've heard that description for decades, but it never really fit my J-45. To my ears, the walnut sounds more scooped than rosewood, my J-45 is WAY louder than my J-15 and they have the exact same body specs.
But, having said that, I've heard other rosewoods that weren't as loud as my J-45.
Ya gotta figure though, the top has a helluva lot to do with those nuances, so maybe it's all moot...

A man tried to start a fight by throwing dough, shredded cheese, and tomato sauce at me.
So I said, “You wanna pizza me?”

This one is great......
So Joe had these headaches...
The doctor said, "Joe, the good news is I can cure your headaches. The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition, which causes your testicles to press on your spine, and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."
Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He couldn't concentrate long enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife.
When he left the hospital he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men's clothing store & thought, "That's what I need - a new suit."
He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit." The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see ... size 44 long." Joe laughed, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years!" Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly.
As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?" Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure." The salesman eyed Joe and said, "Let's see, 34 sleeve & 16-1/2 neck." Again, Joe was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years!"
Joe tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As Joe adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about new shoes?" Joe was on a roll and said, "Sure." The salesman eyed Joe's feet and said, "Let's see ... 9-1/2 E." Joe was astonished, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in the business 60 years!" Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?" Joe thought for a second and said, "Sure." The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe's waist and said, "Let's see... size 36."
Joe laughed. "Ah ha! I got you! I've worn size 34 since I was 18 years old." The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. A size 34 underwear would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one heck of a headache."-

A blind pilot walks into a plane waving his walking stick
The passengers all look at each other in disbelief. The flight attendant gets on the PA and says,
"Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, the captain is legally blind, but rest assured, he is one of the best pilots in the world with over six thousand successful flights."
Next the co-pilot makes his way to the plane and he is also blind and uses his walking stick to make it to the cabin.
The flight attendant gets on the PA and says,
"Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, the co-pilot is also blind, but rest assured, he is the second best pilot
in the world with over five thousand successful flights."
At this point the plane begins to take off from the runway. As it gains speed, the passengers grow tenser. The plane keeps accelerating more and more and as it approaches the end of the runway, it still hasn't left the ground. The plane is approaching the end of the runway at high speed and the passengers scream, "Oh my God, we're all going to die!!"
Suddenly, the plane takes off and begins its ascent.
The pilot turns to the co-pilot and says, "The day they stop screaming, we're screwed."-

I'm a contractor, and I remember about 25 years ago .................... I will say it looked terrific after it was all finished.
I knew a guy in the Mesa/Phoenix area whose dad was a contractor and did this in the late 70's for a wall in a restaurant using old, distressed lumber. He paid us to go get the lumber for him.
It too, turned out fantastic.
You could get better clear coats back in those days....

Besides, it really is a stupid and classless move.
Agree.
Nothing worse than a Karen whining about capitalism while they make so much money they can't spend it all without destroying things that would otherwise have been appreciated by a younger version of themselves.

Cheesy.
I don't care about relics but at least Gibson hired a professional.

I haven't been back since they renovated it. The "bullpen" was still alongside the 3rd base line last time I was there.

When I was gigging in the mid 70's at the tender age of 17, I became quite popular with women in the bars that were twice my age.
Nowadays they call them Coyotes.
Back then I called it gaining experience....

I just saw a partial pic of your '33 Gibson Mandolin that you put on the "whip out your rig" post. Do you mind showing us a good pic of it here? (and maybe a case pic for the case addicts) You have mentioned it a couple of times, but I had no idea it was made in 1933.
I just checked and don't have a good one on my Imgur. I'll work on that. The case is not original, George Gruhn just gave me one he had laying around.
Here's a pic of Chris Thile trying to steal it...

Do you like psychology? I used to. I used to think that the brain was the most fascinating organ of the human body. Then I realized--ppthttt---look what's telling me that.

Great videos! Especially the second one was really interesting and joyful. Love the music and the sound of the instruments.
Yep, these are making a big hit at the Mandolin Cafe and will be a successful product, no doubt.

The originals fetch 500K and up.
This is exciting news.
My mandolin is a 1933 Gibson.

Wow Dave, what a fun and worthy project.
I love it when those two combine and a great sound is a bonus.
Very cool.

I say Gibson is # 1.
We'll let Yamaha be # 2.
