  1. Thanks for the wonderful replies all. I was looking into getting a mid 2000's Gibson B-25 which has the adjustable saddle. I think buying online I feel kinda relieved that the saddle is adjustable because I once bought a 65 LG-1 with a new rosewood bridge and it basically had NO SADDLE. It was so low. So I returned that one. This one would have the adjustable saddle with the rosewood bridge and of rouse all solid wood body. And I love LG's.
  2. Hi All I'm just curious. Obviously we all know that Gibson but adjustable bridges on their acoustics somewhere in the early 60's to mid 70's. Yes there is debate in whether they are good to have or not. But that's not my question. My question is: what is the point of it? I can assume it's because it allows you to lower or raise the action of your acoustic without having to shave the saddle down? Is this a right assumption? In a way isn't that a cool feature which would allow for more flexibility when adjusting the action? Thanks!
  3. I posted this because this particular model, the "1936 reissue" from 1991, look awesome but are said to be "heavily built" They also have a 25.5 scale length. It's this model that I'm really interested in, but I've heard negative things about them. But the issue is if people are comparing them to original L-00's from the 30's, then yes they are probably not the same. But my question is, as an acoustic guitar, are they good? Has anyone played one I guess, or heard something about them. I have found little information, but what I the little that I have heard has been luke warm
  4. Hi So are the early 90's 1936 L-00 reissues with the binding around the neck and with the 25.75 scale really dogs as I have read online? I'm just curious. I recently played a 2001 Nick Lucas and I was underwhelmed. I didn't like the thicker body on an L-00. the fretboard profile felt very thin, and most of all it sounded dead. But i digress..... I get the feeling that the early 90's L-00 1936 reissues are not well received. Mind you, i'm not interested in if they sound like the old ones or not, which they most likely don't. I guess I'm just asking if they at least sound good. I have a posted a picture of an example that I am talking about. Thank you.
