I’m really jealous! LOL! No, Congrats! That is Cool! What pickup is that?

Why do you tune to Eb? Then do you Capo on 1st fret?

Do you apply graphite or nut sauce to the Nut slots?

If you watch Jimi Hendrix play he’s using his thumb almost half way across the fretboard down to the 3rd String. Almost like a second hand playing low parts while his other fingers play high parts.. At the same time. It’s a pretty amazing technique. He looks natural like it’s nothing.. The important thing is, the neck needs to fit your hand.. you can’t rebuild your hand.. If it’s not a comfortable natural feel to begin with I don’t believe forcing your hand to adjust to an unnatural uncomfortable neck will accomplish any magic…

CONGRATS!

What is the average humidity year around in the room where you display them? Windows open in the Summer? Closed in the Winter & Heater on? Changes in Temp Humidity can definitely affect Guitars that are displayed out of their Cases for long periods of time…

I love my Gibson Firebird V also.. But, it is nothing like my LP’s or ES335… Maybe somewhere between them & my Casino’s with P90’s.. Sound wise.. But, not really…. It’s has a unique Voice.. As well as being a unique Guitar!

I use to use it on my 59 Vintage ES345 all the time.. I liked it..

I used to have a real 1959 Gibson ES-345 & should never have payed with it.. Best sounding Pickups I’ve ever heard & the Guitar was stunning with all the Bling & it was Stereo! My 2013 Memphis ES-335 has 57’s.. It is a great Guitar for sure.. But, I saw a Black ES-355 With Gold hardware & Bigsby at NAMM a few years ago that has been on my mind ever since. Amazing Guitar!

As bad as some of you think Sweetwater is, based on my experience, of buying aprox 40 Guitars in the past 20 years from all the major Online Stores, Brick & Mortar GC’s & Sam Ash & other Mom & Pop Stores they are far worse… Except maybe Wildwood… Literally no major Chain Stores Set up Guitars anymore.. Most Stores do nothing.. Put them out on display & if they sell or don’t sell nobody cares… Have you guys been to a recent NAMM? As I mentioned earlier, most Manufacturers displays of new Guitars are pretty awful to play! Sharp Frets, high Action, Intonation way off etc.. Although, I remember looking at new Guitars in the 60’s too… LOL! Unbelievable how many were unplayable in Stores back then too…

I don’t know but if you’re selling 1000 Guitars a day you must be doing something right… I’ve bought & sold a lot of Guitars in the past 30 years.. I’ve bought from all the big Internet Stores & many Brick & Mortar Stores all over.. Today I don’t know any big Store that does anything close to what Sweetwater does at no cost for new Inventory Guitars.. Except Wildwood. Even at NAMM many of the new Guitars on display that are Promos need Set ups & other work.. Mostly Frets.. Most low end Guitars are so bad almost every one I’ve tried in the past few years needs to be rebuilt..

I agree buying new online depends on who you’re buying from.. Never had a bad or in resolved Purchase with Sweetwater.. In any case you can’t buy a new J-29…. You’ll be searching for Used which is probably better anyway…

Or it it could be…. GAS! LOL! The J29 is a nice Guitar if you like Short Scale.. Rosewood & Spruce create great Sound.. Although, I don’t believe they are available new.. A Used one could be a good Buy though….

I think this is my most favorite Eagles Period. Yeah, that’s awesome! If anyone has the live performance of “Out Of Control” which I think is from that same Concert will you please post it? Thanks.. Here’s “Outlaw Man” from the same Concert.. I’d like to get the DVD of that whole Concert if anyone knows a Source… Thanks

Tom Murphy should be making a Killing!!

I’m left handed & do just the opposite of his daughter…

I don’t work for Sweetwater but I’ve bought from them.. I saw this video & thought I’d share it.. I’m not getting paid anything just providing a FYI…

If it’s a sale made within 45 days, if they’re a reputable Store, I would think they’d let you exchange it for another new Guitar that has the same retail Price.. Like for like. As long as your Guitar is in perfect condition… They might even end up making something on the deal..

If you bought it new I'd seriously think about returning.. How many J45 models are there? About 30 or so? I wouldn't void my Warranty & take a chance somebody might screw it up worse...

That's more like it... $25.00 is crazy!

Ringo playing left handed..

I was walking down the Street in downtown San Diego one day between my 2 adult daughters shopping.. Both are beautiful ladies.. An older woman about my age was walking towards us.. As she got closer she started giving me dirty looks.. As she passed she said, “You Dirty Old Man!”.. I was speechless!

Back in those days all the Teachers & Principals had devices for Corporal Punishment & used them. I had my fair share.. In 6th Grade I had a Teacher by the name of Mr. Stammerjohn… A real Asshole! He hated me.. One day while I was made to stay in the Room while all the other kids went to recess. He said something to me that I didn’t like.. I said something back.. He came at me & I started running around the room… He caught up to me & kicked me in the back & laid me out.. He threatened to do worse if I ever said anything… My Dad went to visit him.. I never knew for sure what happened. My Dad probably beat the crap out of him. After his visit I didn’t go back to that School… Those we’re different times..

China isn’t far behind Gates.. They own 192,000 Acres of Agricultural land in the USA…

I went to Public School & they beat my Left Hand with a Wooden Ruler… It was a different time…
