Don't forget eBay. They only charge 7% commission, give the seller great shipping discounts and will handle international sales. I used to use Reverb, but since they got bought out a few years ago their commission is around 10% and no breaks on the shipping. I quit using them. It's definitely not the same company Chicago Music Exchange set up years ago.

Mean while the swifties are saying, “ Why did they put that horrible ebony one in that line up?” Here's the full line of colors.

That Ebony one is tempting. Aged top, solid back and sides, Gibson shaped head stock, $1299

That's a beauty!

Are you talking about the Super Chet?

I can't even name any members of the Dead or Taylor Swift.

I prefer the custom light gage

I have four versions of the Gibson L00. Most comfortable guitar size/style for me. '32 Reissue long scale (like the Legend), all hog, M2M 12 fret aged top, 12 fret Nick Lucas

Ditto here.

If the truss nut spun, it may just be the nut. Buy a new one for about $5, clean the threads on the rod (may be full of brass shavings) and give it a shot. If that doesn't work because the rod is stripped, add washers before you put the nut on. The threads may be okay once you get away from the worn area. I've used both of these methods, but I do have a die to clean off the threads.

The luthier I use is in Indiana if you can’t find one. It would be less expensive to ship it to him versus removing the fret board.

Most probably a single action. Older guitars sometimes get the nut seized up or maybe the strings were not loosened as they should be before adjusting on older guitars. They usually break off at the end of the thread, There is a repair where they cobore deeper and chase new threads. It works, I've had it done. Stewmac sells the tools . The luthier I use has the tools to do it. Search - StewMac

Just my opinion and preference - I think the small body Gibson's (LG and L00) need something extra to pull the sound out that I prefer. e.g. Long scale, deep body, thermally aged top, vintage aged wood. The standard stuff sounds okay but I'm getting picky in my old age.

She gets a lot of sound out of the hog top LG1!

I kept buying koa instruments just for the beauty of the wood. I don’t have any koa guitars anymore but the ukulele satisfies me.

I’ve had a few Koa guitars. I thought they were closer to mahogany, a little quieter.

There’s othet factors besides the guitar scale and tone woods. Strings, string height, pick, attack.

Send me a tracing and I'll give it a shot.

How about a black with a white Maltese cross?

I like the one that came on my SJ. Has what looks like a gold glitter or marbling background with a little translucency.

I love that color. Congrats!

That's your serial number, not the model number.

Some of the CL and FB ads just kill me but I think this one on FB from a "Luthier" takes the cake. This guitar has its share of road-worn characteristics. It has its share of scratches, but no dents or cracks. Structurally it has no problems. Someone (not me) pulled the frets out, and never finished the job. At Sweetwater.com, a new one goes for about $3500.00. From what I know, the electronics work good. It’s a bit of a fixer-upper. Mainly for new frets. I received this as a payment, I am a luthier. I’m letting it go for more than half-price, $1500.00 firm. Its original hardshell case comes with it. No trades, cash only, local pickup. Cannot ship, too expensive.

she definitely plays. She was the only rhythm guitar and played every song. If I remember correctly, she did a couple solo numbers. My daughter went with me and became a fan.
