The mystique! We sure are fortunate! The men and women of 1900-1970 were magical. But also, the artists that learned from the originals and created a fantastic modern blues . I would like to have the Gibson Robert Johnson model!!!!!

Which one(S) do you pine for the most. I miss the bark, the neck shape and feel, the satisfaction of playing a great acoustic. The one I really miss is the 2002 L-130. Now a-days I couldn't afford to reclaim it,,,if I could even find one! Live and learn? More like regret and learn! how about you people? Any that you miss? JD

Another convert to D-D tuning...but not on all of my acoustics. My favorite is a Sitka/maple NL- 00 body. It has GHS thin core 12's on it and the tone and playability is first rate.

stunning beauty! Oh, to get back to 1968......๐

Had the same happen with my L-130. The bone saddle and nut were nice, but the Tusq was superior. I know that some people consider it an "automatic" to replace Tusq to bone, but I think Gibson did it right with Tusq. That L-130 sounded mid-range perfect with the original set-up๐

Martin Nickel Brass or DโAddario Nickel Bronze
vacamartin replied to Paul14's topic in Gibson Acoustic
I've had a set of Monels on my maple b/s L-00 for 7 months, and yesterday I thought they sounded the best yet! Put a set of Elixir Nano's on my Crossroads a few months ago and they've begun to wear in sweetly. Just takes some time with the varying humidity and temp for those old woods to settle in๐ -
Learn Some Fingerpicking in your DownTime?
vacamartin replied to BluesKing777's topic in Gibson Acoustic
I'm having a great time holing up in the music room. Funny thing is I have a boat load of equipment, and what I gravitate too is simply picking up my L-00 and concentrating on refining my technique! Even in this pandemic insanity, i'm loving my play time- hope you all are too๐บ -
Ahhh...*life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?*

Isn't this guy Ricky Gervis? Great Martin ๐

Anyone teach their partner to play guitar?
vacamartin replied to BluesKing777's topic in Gibson Acoustic
My buddy plays wineries and small venues...for 30 + years. His wife never learned to play any instrument. That has all changed in the last year. She took a liking to a Yamaha I sold him, and she has begun to "play". It's never to late to start!(And she cuts her nails)๐ -

I'm going to try the shim for my NLucas. I've got a very low saddle on the Bass E side and need to get the buzz from frets 9-14 ironed out. Worth a try!

Sometimes it affects the judgement of the buyer. A certain body style is what I gravitate towards.
