  1. I pretty much quit going to GC before I got gray hair.. It had nothing to do with my hair & everything to do with GC’s not having what I’m I interested in buying.. And the cocky attitude of young wannabe Rock Stars who work there & act like they’ve never heard of Discounts…. The exception being Hollywood Guitar Center.. That is like a Candy Store to a kid!
  2. I like my Gardener taking care of my Property.
  3. I do see a lot of Demos being offered at Sweetwater.. Is this the one the OP is looking at? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/J45StWN--gibson-acoustic-j-45-studio-walnut-acoustic-electric-guitar-satin-natural?cond=J45StWNd2 Or this one? https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/J45StWN--gibson-acoustic-j-45-studio-walnut-acoustic-electric-guitar-satin-natural
  4. I live in Southern California…. And anything goes here…..
  5. Nothing wrong with a Demo if it isn’t damaged,is sold as new & comes with Factory Warranty.. In my experience many are dinged, scratched & have some kind of damage.. Not all but some.. Like I said if it was that magic I can’t live without it Guitar, a couple dings & scratches wouldn’t matter, I’d buy it..
  6. If it’s been hanging around that usually means it’s been played by who knows how many guys? I consider them Demos. I would want more than 20% off.. Unless it was so magical I couldn’t live without it. Otherwise I’d want one brand new in the wrapper….
  7. Again, this is not a big deal.. $500.00 is about a 20% discount.. Which can be negotiated any day of the week on most new Guitars.. Why is this so surprising?
  8. Recently Fender made a Ltd Production Custom Shop Rocky Strat. I think it was limited to 100 Guitars.. They sold for $25,000.00.. They sold out in a day. There’s no shortage of people with Money!
  9. Walnut is good but not a hot mover as far as J-45’s go… $500.00 off is roughly a 20% discount which is something you can negotiate on just about any New Guitar every day of the week.. Make sure it’s not a Demo.. If it is ask for more off…
  10. Don’t it always seem to go.. You don’t know what you got til it’s gone…. If you have a great Guitar keep it.. If you got a crap Guitar sell it & replace it with another great Guitar.. IMO you need something that adds a sound you don’t already have.. Like a Casino or an ES-335…
  11. Very nice… And great sounding old Epi!
  12. You’ve got some nice Guitars.. I wouldn’t get rid of any of them. I’d add a Hollow body like a Casino & a Semi hollow body like an ES-335.. Then you’d have 6! I agree about selling off Guitars only to regret it.. Then chasing after that sound you let go & never finding it… Or in my case they’ve become so expensive I can’t afford one.. Mine was a mint condition Sunburst 1959 Gibson ES-345 with original 1959 PAF Humbuckers.. It was the best sounding Guitar I’ve ever heard.. As far as the SG I’d try to figure out what I don’t like about the Guitar.. Usually it’s the Pickups.. There are so many great Boutique Builders, Fralin, Duncan, Lollar, Thro-Bak etc.. That’s a relatively inexpensive upgrade to a Guitar that can turn a ho hum Guitar into a Killer Sound Machine! Good luck on your quest…
  13. Every time I hear "It's a great Guitar & sounds great for the money" I automatically doubt that it's a great Guitar.. I've played a lot of Epiphone Acoustics & have to say I haven't been overly thrilled with very many.. Maybe they need new Strings, better Set ups etc. but when I go to buy a Guitar I expect it to sound & play good now... Regardless of Price.. I have not tried one but would love to try some Korean Epi Acoustics.. Korea is building some very nice Guitars...
  14. 4 isn’t overkill if you talk to guys here with 20, 30, 40 or more… What’s right for you is all that matters. Life is short.. We should be happy.. As long as it isn’t hurting anyone.. Another Guitar might get you the Sound you’ve been seeking.. If it does, that’s a good thing..
  15. That looks sweet! Thought it was an Elvis Dove but it’s not.. What model?
