Guitar straps - how long do they last?
Holiday Hoser replied to uncle fester's topic in Gibson Acoustic
plastic bread bag widgets will do the trick as well and they are free {well after you buy the bread) -
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.

NGD Non Gibson but Gibson sounding, so is that cool?
Holiday Hoser replied to generaldreedle's topic in Gibson Acoustic
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.

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.

50 Year Old Martin Guitar vs Brand New Martin Guitar
Holiday Hoser replied to Rabs's topic in Gibson Acoustic
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. -
Interesting Mongrel 1950 J-45 on Reverb

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

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!

Still in love with my Maple AJ, nearly a year on
Holiday Hoser replied to Jinder's topic in Gibson Acoustic
Nice to know that a "Modern" guitar can still fill the bill. Always loved your stuff. keep it coming. -
I would agree Bill and the magic he pulls from that battered old LG-2 is just something to behold.

I just can't fathom a price point of 8k for a non vintage guitar...Just sayin'

What’s the loudest Gibson you’ve played or owned?
Holiday Hoser replied to JuanCarlosVejar's topic in Gibson Acoustic
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. -
Just did my 40th and had to get up and do a few tunes just to prove to the kids I still had it in me. I think I do from their reaction. 50 years since I picked up my first guitar... Kumbaya anyone? Where did the time go? I always say "I knew I would get old someday. I just thought it would take longer."

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.
