Navajo Chief Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Anyone ever play one of these? Comments are appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Never played one but it looks pretty cool. I was looking at the specs and I think it has a V neck profile, which I have played and enjoyed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWilson Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I saw an ad for a DY Deuces Wild but it was a J-45 if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajsc Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Haven't played one of these but did own a RW SJ, for a few years. I liked it a lot. Sold it because of hard times!!I really liked the guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 These were introduced, as I recall, shortly after Dwight's Y2K Everly-185 model, which would have been about 1999, so the Deuces SJ should have been introduced about 2001/2. I've played a handful of these guitars -- most of them before say 2006 -- some were okay, and some were better than okay. But none of them particularly struck me as standouts, that is, above the range of other Gibson alternatives in the round-shouldered r/w guitar clan. Myself, I ended up purchasing a '42 re-issue R/W SJ made for Fuller's Guitar. Similar guitar to the Dwight SJ, but slightly different aesthetics.

Taylor Player Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Never played one, but it sure is purty! I too think your photography is awesome!!! You should take some guitar photos now... I would love to see your take on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 RW on a j45 chasis. Kind of an uber 000-28. Will it work for you? Always, its down to style. If you fingerpick, play blues, or generally need high end cut/sparkle, it might not quite get the job done. Can be relied upon for a good low end thump.

Navajo Chief Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Taylor Player. I have been thinking of making photographs of guitars in old barns but have not gotten around to it yet. I just need to find the time.....Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 You sure can render Chief. I was drawn to the rural gallery then the Native American. I grew up on a farm in central Illinois. Those pics take me home, especially the grain bins and corn cribs. Spent many a dusty morning in a corn crib shelling corn for Dad and the neighbors. Hot dusty work, but satisfying when complete. I noticed one of the Native American pictograms showed a bunch of .... riders on horses with what appear to be sombraros. Wonder if it is a contemporary pictograph or if the indians of yore made sobraro or sombraro like head coverings? Takin' pictures is easy, just sit back and snap the shutter....right...????? Anyone can snap the shutter... knowin' when is an art. Bravo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navajo Chief Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Tommy K, those are Navajo pictographs made a few hundred years ago....those are cowboy hats, I believe. Thanks...Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
