MorrisrownSal Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I just came back from picking up my Tele and my Southern Jumbo - which just got a new K&K pickup installed. I can't say enough about how great this shop is. While I was there, I met a fellow forum member, Rich, who was pretty cool for bringing in his baby - a 1939 J55 that he bought off of his buddy J. Geils. I shot two videos of this gem, and I hope he doesn't min my sharing them on the forum here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1ZzPm4YE0A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4bVWMAOg-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotTheSilver Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Nice guitar, but it is not an Advanced Jumbo. They say in the video it is a J-55. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichG Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Sal, thanks for posting those. It was great to meet you. You missed the 1934 Roy Smeck that a fellow named Gregg brought in later. He had just had it converted. What a booming guitar. Also, another fellow showed up with a sixties H Bird that was in great shape, and a kid came in with a guitar he said his Dad bought for $100. He didn't know what it was, but we did. It was a late forties or early fifties Southern Jumbo. The Gibson guy took picture to help him identify it. Also met Sitedrifter there. It was a great day.

Sitedrifter Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Sal You were working with Scott while I was in the drum room testing out some acoustics. Sorry I did not get to meet you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Sitedrifter - sorry I missed you, and I am sort I couldn't stay in general. One of my sons and my daughter had a karate thing going on, and the flesh has to come before the wood. Russo's is a great store. If only others could appreciate a store like this, with such quality instruments, the greatest people, and this young cool vibe, there would never ever be an online sale again.

I am in Chatham, and my door is open if you or any forum member here wants to pick a tune, and certainly to try my SJTV. This guitar is my dream come true. And wow... $500 beans... The J45tv they have on the wall is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal I was so engrossed playing the acoustics back in the drum room it did not dawn on me you were there even when my wife said this gentleman is picking up a Southern jumbo along with a Fender.

gov Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Great stuff guys! Sorry I missed this one but had some other commitments today. I echo all the comments about the Russo gang--a terrific shop that's everything a shop should be. Passion, knowledge and integrity. Maybe Scott and the gang will have some cabin fever days in February/March to get everyone together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
