  1. I never saw any bombs when I was in Bozeman. But I did see bombings when I lived in Cleveland during the Mafia wars. Remember "Yellowstone" is a TV show. The Gibson tour was wonderful and informative. That was a while before the expansion...when Ren & Val ran the Custom Shop.
  2. I guess some folks won't mind but I try to avoid runout. Especially on a guitar that expensive. Its getting harder to find good woods so stuff that would have gotten passed over 40 years ago gets used nowadays. I guess that's why Martin is starting to replace sitka with Lutz. And the sitka will get used on custom shop guitars (hopefully its the good stuff and not grain with runout).
  3. Hiscox are great cases. I have one and recently got another for my custom Kopp guitar. Order from Andertons in the UK since Hiscox stopped North American distribution. Their website works best if you pay via PayPal.
  4. I find playing any guitar difficult and uncomfortable when sitting on a couch. I’d rather drag in a proper upright chair to play…especially if I’m playing a larger guitar. (And I’ve got a J 200 sized guitar on order…)
  5. Have any of y'all tried to access service at Gibson? Their website says to write to service@gibson.com. I've tried twice and never got a response...
  6. Nice guitar but why in the world use a Richlite fingerboard at this price point? I'd be on board if it was ebony. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LSLDRBG19--gibson-acoustic-l-00-deluxe-rosewood-burst?mrkgadid=3331288275&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=gpla&mrkgbflag=0&mrkgcat=guitars&&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=92700046938601339&lid=92700046938601339&ds_s_kwgid=58700005283398311&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007215323&dsproductgroupid=374785689596&product_id=LSLDRBG19&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid={product_store_id}&device=m&network=g&matchtype=&locationid={loc_phyiscal_ms}&creative=332063179845&targetid=pla-374785689596&campaignid=1708733954&gclid=CjwKCAjw7e_0BRB7EiwAlH-goIDyHOwBV7JoMFmKDpprPd3fF1EsLEDHaVvE8g7r1Mx-5iuN2QkL1RoCx9sQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

  8. Have you checked out Blue Heron? They'll do custom cases...in fact I just looked...they list a Super 400 case for $299.
  9. I don't really know that much about Taylor guitars...
  10. here is a quarter sawn walnut guitar back...
  11. It might seem silly to you but it doesn't seem silly to me. Quarter sawn wood is more stable and looks better when finished. Its also more expensive. Plain sawing a log yields more lumber per log. When you're looking for a way to make a product less expensive is to use less expensive components. Walnuts are also less expensive than rosewoods and mahogany these days. So we end up with a guitar that is at a price point that is in reach for lots of folks. Just because its less expensive doesn't mean folks don't like it. Lots of people love their walnut guitars. I also have a little walnut end table next to my recliner. Love it and its a beautiful thing. I do, however, like mahogany better.
  12. Is the maple neck heavy? I would worry about it nose diving on a strap.
  13. I always considered NOS to be five-ten years old. Its just 2015 now...a 2014 is just a new guitar. My J200 Jr was also born in 2014 but its just new.
  14. what else don't you like about the progressive?
  15. Looks like richlite has started showing up on J-45 as a fingerboard and bridge material. Is richlite wood?
