Taylor is great. He made this Guard for a guitar my friend made for me based on a 1930’s Black Recording King (made by Gibson). The Tuxedo look. -- https://www.behance.net/gallery/174396379/Wri/modules/984770847 https://www.behance.net/gallery/174396379/Wri/modules/984770847

What a great story. So glad your health is better, Guitars are magical and they connect us with the living and the dead.

Thought so. 😉 Sorry to hijack this thread, but I tried to send you an email to buy “In The Red Room”but I’m not sure if it was the correct email. Feel free to write me at cooptig@gmail.com if there are any CD copies left to purchase. Now please carry on regarding the guitar in question. 😀

I agree that this is probably a ‘67 that someone replaced out the adjustable bridge with a “traditional” bridge. Also as has been stated, the original Pickguard has been replaced (should be the bat wing). Hard to tell if it is a stripped J-45 or a J-50. I’ll bet it sounds great! Also as an aside to the OP, I am a fan of your work.

Lo Fi Recording on an iPhone with a Rode Mic-Me plugged in.

Hey Folks! With little to no gigging for the past year I have been releasing a Single A Month recording with a lo-fi iPhone with a Rode MicMe plugged into it. I then get it Mastered at a studio here in New Orleans. This song was recorded with the ‘48 J-50 Body/‘38 L-00 neck. You do not need to download to listen to the whole song. I hope everyone is well! https://patrickcooper.bandcamp.com/track/oil-city

Welcome back! Sounds great. Very poignant.

There is no mention anywhere in the two videos of torrefication, which leads me to believe the answer is no, but it will interesting to see the detailed specs when they are released by Music Villa. 👍

The playing begins in earnest at about 6:40.

Exactly! 😂

True! That $6500 is for the non Braz offerings.

Well, after hearing from Chad at Music Villa I have learned the pricing will be as I feared (actually worse). The instruments will be in the neighborhood of $6500. Oh well. It was fun to dream!

And now back to fun stuff. Their first Dread.

FWIW, I posted a new video filmed at the shop in this thread: https://forum.gibson.com/topic/161909-ren-ferguson’s-new-project/

Yes, the New Yorker inspired model is interesting to me as well. Here is the first one. This one has Brazilian Rosewood B/S From the video it sounded like regular offerings will have either Koa or Spalted Maple. I guess for bigger bucks one could ask for different woods for a Custom Build.

I have a feeling they will go at boutique prices. The New Yorker style at the 10:22 mark sounds intriguing, but probably too rich for my blood.

Hey Folks! I hope people are starting to thaw out. Thought this may be of interest to some.

Thanks for checking in. Sending good thoughts your way!

Yeah, that action is really high IMHO. I lean towards 2.00mm/1.7mm, but everyone is different. If the tone is a problem for you, then that IS a problem. Maybe get the set up and play it for a while to see how you are feeling about it? However, If you feel that the tone is something you cannot abide, then skip the set up and return it.

Nice send off, ZW
