  1. I’ve had two snarks break on me the same way just this week! I was actually gonna head over to guitar center this morning to get another. But, now that I see others having this problem, I may get another brand. I’ve always liked Snarks. The quality must have declined.
  2. I got one of the first J-15s released. I still have it. It is a great guitar. I'm glad I got it when I did.
  3. I like the Sparrow, pickguard and all. Well, almost, I prefer short scale. I have a J-200 and some Martin's, but have been mainly playing my Hummingbird and Southern Jumbo. I think the Sparrow would be a nice addition to the herd. Lol!
  4. I love the Roy Smeck guitars. Fairbanks is especially sweet!
  5. I love everything about that guitar.
  6. That's the ones right there!
  7. Very subjective! I left the bridge pins on my J-15 on. Actually, all 5 of my Gibson acoustics still have the stock pins in place.
  8. Why is this Morkolo dude such a ****?
  9. Pick out a good J-15 and don't look back!
  10. "Not so fast my friend." Lol! Good one.
  11. It's a known fact, as long as you are telling the truth, you can say what ever you want. Being polite on top of being truthful is for wussies. Being a badass on the internet is where it's at.
  12. My J-15 is 100% stock, except for the truss rod cover. It may seem silly, but I prefer the white border on the truss rod cover. Easy and cheap adjustment. I absolutely love the "Batwing" pick guard, but probably will not change it on the J-15. I kind of have a thing for tuners and pick guards.
  13. I still love my J-15, and will never sell it. I do think it is as good as a J-45, I consider it a walnut J-45. my J-15 gets regular/daily play along with my J-200 and Southern Jumbo. I love them all. Maybe I'm lucky, but am delighted with my Gibsons. I see you have enthusiasm for the J-15, me too. I would like to hear what other J-15 owners think after having them a while. I did change the truss cover. I would like white ovals on the tuners. Probably won't change the pick guard though.
  14. Hey 7enderbender, pay no attention to marty1940, he got issues. The other folks who responded know their stuff. Sal, Hogeye, BlindBoy and Modoc are good folk. For the record, I look forward to Hogeye's posts. Sorry, didn't mean to leave out the Reverend, he seems to have a killer J-45 Custom.
  15. Did somebody say 2015 Southern Jumbo 12 fret? Lol! I've been hacking away on guitars for 25 years or so, not until I got my J-200 back in 2007, did I realize what I was missing. Not just the J-200, but high end guitars in general. I was hooked all over again. Totally in love with my J-200. Fast forward to 2015, the SJ12f gave me that feeling again. Man! What a guitar! Totally smitten with this new one. I hope I'm not getting addicted to high end guitars. Have I become a guitar nerd like you guys? Lol!!!
  16. I use D'addario EJ-17's. I've tried the EJ-16's, they seem too thin on the J-200. It seems the J-200 needed a little bit more string to bring out the full potential of that fabulous guitar. I love my J-200.
  17. It does look really good. Nice job!
  18. Man! Gibson Vs. epiphone, I know everyone hears differently, but Dang! I've had both, epiphones are ok, no comparison to Gibson. Sounds brittle and cheap.
