j o k e -look it up....

cant help but smell what is probably toxic off gassing so, no I try not to sniff ( used to, been off the stuff for years )

I for one , and maybe there are others , who have a sound hole mirror and use it to see the bridge plate, check out wiring, sometimes double check bridge pins and perhaps just inspect to see if its clean and tidy work... often on new guitars...no sniffing tho....

keep posting and dont let it bug ya, I do....

did you ask if they ( G ) had one in stock ?

Im gonna have to try a jag or jazzie soon....

Ive had lots of all brands, electric and acoustic, and find great examples in all brands and enjoy trying as many as possible BUT I must have a strat, a gibby and I throw in Martin when possible.

strat hangs low, jumbo acoustics ride high.....

a google search shows several shops in Denver that rent guitars and more .......

Im gonna try one and if its great, Im in, ( price helps ) until I try one I can hold off on evaluation.

easy pick retrieval as well...

"any port in a storm" so Im gonna try one.....

"problem" ? why?

fn rudest creeper on the web award goes to.. sgt peeper !!!!! mods youare slacking.

budget plays into the question, if your rich Id say avoid acoustics made after 1949 and electrics made after 1960 with a budget , try all you can of all years and buy the one that calls to you.

Education starts here !

hadnt heard of the Holocene Era till now so good one ! ( I wonder how the pre-Holocene gits sound and play ? )

Seems to be the norm, here in Canada our big retailer has sales that are now usually extended payment and interest options instead of price reductions- buy now -pay for years !

used to be a headstock repair cut the price in half, and, it seems to me Ive seen flamey 59s advertised for 400 and up, so.....it may be a good deal for the very wealthy.

190 for a 59 seems good if you have it , must be plain top ?

bait is right but what the heck....

still rude eh ? - I thought you left ....?

Ive thought about this topic and I think I would be happier with G if the price of standard models was lower and if they used USA tuners and if they would quit trying to re-invent the wheel .Still, I gotta have at least one. ( a whole one )

"quibble" sounds like a good cereal name....try them on Mikey...

shame on me too- the quote , I think , was mulder to scully , not the captain of the enterprise, my apologies to all 3....
