  1. The buck stopped on his desk....
  2. now that is a Gibson I would like to try!
  3. And so it goes.....i'm still hoping for that pawn shop miracle find!๐Ÿบ
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. stunning beauty! Oh, to get back to 1968......๐Ÿ‘
  7. 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-up๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. 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 in๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. 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 too๐Ÿบ
  10. Ahhh...*life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?*
  11. Isn't this guy Ricky Gervis? Great Martin ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. 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)๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. can't wait to see your write-up!!!!
  14. 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!
  15. Geez.......makes me wanna get on my knees and pray
  16. Ling Doid! This is nuts๐Ÿฅณ
  17. +1 on the Cannoli........with techs nearby you're covered
  18. Sometimes it affects the judgement of the buyer. A certain body style is what I gravitate towards.
  19. Yup......hoping to get my hands on one, soon
  20. Great to finally find a post on the new G-45 standard. Should of been in this forum! Got to take it where ya find 'em๐Ÿ˜‰
  21. Finally!!!! https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=550580
