E-minor7 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Thank you for the find, JCV - exactly the sound I didn't want to hear, if you know what I say. This is the soft rosewood saddle insert over the heavy braces of '68 and that combo just doesn't rock my boat. For the same reason I went to rosewood w. normal sized bone saddle, tuned half a step down and even did some bass-end-brace-sanding on mine. Much more for my ears now, but different strokes for different folks. . . Btw. watch the logo on this one. It's different than mine and my guess would have been 1969. What do I know - maybe it was introduced in mid-68 or on 45's only. Let me underline that I don't doubt this could sound excellent as a strummer inside a mix, , , or generally good in the right recording. But notice how far away it is from the lighter braced dittos from before '68 (talking hog squares here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunningham26 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 It doesn't seem that his chronology adds up as he says he got it in 70 and it was brand new- it is most definitely a 69, square shouldered with the brown headstock and j45 TRC. Here is my '68 ADJ for ref Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low buzzy action & seems like a thick pick. I don't feel as bad about mine after hearing his guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackcooper Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'm sure those guitars would sound decent played by someone else. That guy must be more of an electric player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
