Hey that looks like my 'ol '64 only someone painted it blue in the '60s and then sanded it back and added the black finish. Mine does have a L5 fingerboard which I have only seen on a couple other (highly valuable I was told) Hummers.

I think Gibson should stop making up all these fake titles for management. Chief Merchant Officer? How about Junior Lieutenant Soundhole Sweat Assistant Czar? or simply Second Sargent Crack Whore in Waiting? I'm talking to you Mark.

After 40+ years I don't even have calluses anymore just leather.

looks a little out of shape to me both bouts being the same . Camera angle maybe. pretty though

I did have this problem with one Les Paul I had but a little nutSauce and using a string as a nut file cured the problem for grins please review the following.
From the advertisement
A three-by-three headstock looks the business, but it can result in tuning problems, owing to the fact the four center strings pull sideways at the back of the nut; fortunately, dB Instrument Amp reckons it finally has the solution with the TruGlide.The electric and acoustic guitar tuning stabilizer aims to support the bottom of the string then guide it to the tuners using a low-friction curved surface, allowing the strings to move freely and more easily return to pitch.
Aside from increasing the precision of the guitar’s tuners, the TruGlide has the added bonus of dampening ringing strings above the nut.
It certainly looks like a worthwhile purchase for Les Paul players struggling with that pesky G string - the TruGlide is available now for $19.95 from Db Instrument Amp.

Hey I was simply talking to my wife about an RV didn't google it or email about simply talking about it around my iphone and Hey look at that suddenly all banner ads are trying to sell me an RV.
Want to have some fun? I had a friend who speaks fluent Italian chat at my phone for a while and you guessed it Italian banner ads. 1984 big brother is watching you. Jihad everybody

The world is simply a copy of what came before. My late 1800's mandolin has the same open book headstock shape as a Les Paul so there Mark.

I think there is something about the age and dryness of the wood that gives them a different voice. Better? not always but usually. In my opinion my '64 Bird takes a bird poop on a new one. much louder and better definition.

I agree looks a little pricey for a "beater" Save up a little more squash and find something cleaner.

I love me some Blackberry Smoke

You never disappoint Sal

Jesus never had so much trouble with any Gibson I ever owned. My bird is dry and woody and always plays like a loud dream Thanks to Cali I guess

wish he would play central california

Jesus Kahuna is that really your quiver? Makes me think in the event of a fire what would you go in and take out? The fire for Christ sake!

Nice to know that a "Modern" guitar can still fill the bill. Always loved your stuff. keep it coming.

When I first met my '64 Hummingbird (with an L5 rosewood finger board) at Norm's my wife rolled her eyes at this scrappy, old 1960's refin but as soon as I played it those eye grew wide and she said..
"That's the loudest acoustic I have ever heard!" and the 4 or 5 other customers in the shop who were looking over nodding their heads in agreement.

Been liking the Ratios of late. It changes the ratio in regards to string size. Uglier than your stepsister at the prom though...
Did upgrade the buttons though helps from the front view at least.

As songwriters we all fish at the same hole, same rod, same tackle, same bait, but somehow Dylan just kept pulling 'em out, one after the other.

Great thread! I too waited until my 50's before getting my first vintage Gibson acoustic and I can only say why I didn't save up all the money I spent on coke and booze and buy one in my 20's
is a lesson that only comes with a age. Just like the sound of a vintage guitar.
I recently had a hankerin' for the sound of a Les Paul again after getting rid of my old girl to Norm's Guitars. Did I fork out 3k for a new electric? Hell no! I spent $439 for a Korean copy.
I'm savin' that money for my next Gibson acoustic. Once you bit by that bug nothing else is good enough. (Take a peak at what they are doing in the ESP/Dean factory in rice land though. NICE)

I can hammer all day like a Mexican Roofer after a hail storm
Now that's the funniest thing I heard all day!

nope my Seymour Duncan mag mic does the same thing take off the strings, unscrew the pickup, rinse, repeat. I'm thinking magnet maybe?
Guitar straps - how long do they last?
