MR.LEE Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 me thinks one of them 295s needs a bigsby Haha,the reissues do have Bigsbys (i think),but the old ones didn't come with them. However i do have Bigsbys on my Gretsches and a couple more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 yea, I probably would not screw with the sunburst one, but I'd be tempted on the one that was refinished as the value has already been compromised from a vintage value pov. but anyway, I always fancied the gold top es-295s with the bigsby's but, alas out of production now...

j45nick Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 OK, I'll play 1990 James Hutchins signed "Historic" L-5CES Drool....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheraton Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 But the 335 isn't an "archtop". It's a "semi-hollow". If it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I don't have one, so I can't show any photos of "mine," but I've always loved the Birdland, with the "venician" cutaway. "Natural," or "Vintage Burst,"...I'm not "picky!" CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKahune Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 . Man, that's gorgeous. . B) And she looks in fantastic shape for a '47. . Ever refurbished? Always hard to pick just one, but I'll follow the rules. 1947 Gibson Super 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpguitar Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Ever refurbished? Thank you. Everything is original except the finish. It was refinished by Nashville luthier Mark Piper, who once led the production of Benedetto guitars for Guild/Fender. All the parts were polished and detailed, and a perfect refret was done. It's a dream to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 It's a dream to play. I'd love to hear some sound-clips of that baby, got any to post or link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpguitar Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I do have a short video, although to be fair, YouTube compression butchers the sound. In person it's much richer and dynamic.
