[SJ-200 mini looks cool.]

Yeah looks like a perfect couch guitar. $5279.00 though bit rich for me.

[Case for a Gibson dread]

I'd recommend silvercreek also if you want a decent budget case.

[2018 J45 Stinks of tobacco]

I had a similar problem with my 63' Hummingbird it was mingin. I got rid of the case it came with, lemon oiled the fretboard and gave the guitar a good clean. The smell went away eventually.  I have heard leaving a tumble dryer sheet in the empty case can help also. Best of luck.

[NGD: 1953 J50]

That's just a super cool guitar. Congratulations 👍

[any love for the J 50?]

I've had a couple 2003 and 2012 models. I  would like to get another at some point. I love the natural finish and batwing pickguard. 

[2001 Gibson J-150]

Nice deal on that one. I would have been interested myself but the seller wasn't keen on shipping.  Enjoy your new guitar.

[New SJ200 - Good Deal?]

Seems like a very fair deal. I say go for it and enjoy it👍.

Here's one on Reverb. Got some runout in the top though:

I'm curious about the satin finish also. My Noel Gallagher J-150 has what they call an aged finish but it almost looks like a type of satin finish to me. The neck is already starting to get a shine to it. I've no doubt the satin finish could be buffed out. I remember many people who owned Larrivee 3 series guitars with all satin finishes would buff them out by themselves.

Pickup is the same, at least on the J-45, so it must be the tuners and the lesser time spent on the finish (fewer coats).

 

I think that J-45 is gorgeous!

Fewer coats and time spent at the buffing wheel, "time is money" as they say.

Interesting. I wonder why this is cheaper than the other J-45 versions?

I guess the pickup is more expensive, maybe the tuners? But $350 is a pretty big difference.

Satin finish doesn't require as much work as a full gloss finish.

[Gibson Faded Series]

New line from Gibson. A faded satin nitro finish. Looks like about $350-400 less than a standard model.

Pretty much the way I felt about the one I had. Here's Greg Koch demoing the exact guitar I bought.

 

 

Mine is from the same run, I believe there were 20 of them. Great guitars.

[Gibson J 185 low-end question]

Big booming bass is the last thing I'd associate with a J-185. Mine is a very evenly balanced guitar and doesn't have a rough feeling fretboard. I'd suggest you  find another example to try, sounds like the one you tried may have some humidity/setup issues. 

[Epiphone Riviera Noel Gallagher model]

Riviera arrived, really beautiful guitar. Played it briefly and sounds great.

[Epiphone Riviera Noel Gallagher model]

Yeah I think they did a great job with this promo video. I'm sure they are going to sell a lot of these.

[Epiphone Riviera Noel Gallagher model]

Have one of these on order. Anyone else own one or plan on getting one. Really looking forward to getting it in my hands:

with the new electrics rolling out, i can't help but think the acoustic would be my top choice in a noel signature guitar. anyone have a long term review of theirs? I've heard wishy-washy things about the quality overall.

No issues with mine. I saw the review Trogly's Guitars Show on YouTube did. He pointed out a few things on the one he got, particularly the edge of the fretboard.

[NGD -- 2022 '50s J45]

Nice guitar and the case is cool also👍

[Gorgeous J-200]

Not a fan of the double pickguards either. I like the color though and it does sound very good.

[1992 Gibson Starburst mini jumbo.]

He's got this one listed for sale at $2k. 

[1992 Gibson Starburst mini jumbo.]

I follow Jake Wildwood on Instagram and he often gets some really cool guitars through his shop. Saw this one and thought it's pretty interesting:

Great job really enjoyed it 👍

Not really liking the sound of these at all. Maybe it's that funky bridge, seems like it gives it a kind of plinky, percussive sound. Nothing like my J-185.
