torca Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Well I think I hope I posted some pics.Anyways had time to do a Christmas string sweep and posted some pics as the familys' changin'.Recently had to send back to Gibson my Fuller '39 J-35 that developed a neck issue.Got to thinking about what it was I liked about Gibsons and the variety in body style,woods,finishes I guess is the difference between that and say Martin's for me.I admit that I buy for looks and tone,just if the tone's not there it is a faster changeout as opposed to a real good barker of a guitar. Anyway best of the season folks.I got some playing to do. Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCSC Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Thanks for the pics of the extended family. From the looks of things, they're both rockers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 What exactly is the metal plate on the Epiphone's headstock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torca Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 The Epi has a Gibson Montana plate as they were built in a small run in late 93/early94.The guitar was built on the 351st day in 1993 from the label.That said it is far different sounding than the Bird.I believe maple has the longest break in period of any tonewood. I played a Banner maple in the summer that redefined my opinion of what a maple guitar could sound like forever.Real good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
