Dave F Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Over the past few weeks I've picked up the three below. Stage Deluxe Rosewood, Dwight Yoakam Honky Tonk Deuce, and a 1932 L00 RI The second photo is showing the Stage Deluxe Rosewood with the other 12-fretters, a Stage Deluxe LTD (Hog) and the Jackson Browne (Walnut) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

62burst Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Your neighbors wanted to know if that wind chime was in an open tuning, or drop-D? Very nice. I had no idea there was such a difference in bursts between the Stage Deluxe Rosewood and the LTD; lots of color in that one. Each of that threesome of 12-frets have the reduced soundhole diameter of 3.75", yes? No coincidence that helps to focus the tone of the twelve fret design more towards stronger low-mid frequencies.

Fullmental Alpinist Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Those are nice! You are to be commended, sir! Did you notice that they all have a strange grain pattern on the tops that looks like a man in shorts holding a camera? What are the odds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave F Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Wow! Couldnt decide, so bought all of them? How is the L00 RI? They havent made any kind of appearance in my neck of the woods. BluesKing777. I took the guitar to my Luthier who's a nut about this era guitar. He is currently building a small lot (24) of them calling them the Georgia Peach. He's a huge Duane Allman fan and this is his tribute to him. Georgia Peach He was really impressed and said Gibson nailed the sound although this guitar still needs to be played in to get that woody sound.

BigKahune Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 . That's quite an array of Gibson lumber. Beautiful collection. Congrats. . . B) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you play the mando much with all those guitars crowding the poor little guy out? I don't have an L5, it's on my list. I do have a F5L mandolin and it does need to get played more. I've been listening/working on a lot of Louvin Brothers and Marty Stuart music so I can work on the mandolin and the guitar but I haven't really been putting in enough time.

Dave F Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Awsome! I've always wanted to try the honky tonk model, I've never come across one in person. Congrats! I was a little surprised at this one. Very, very comfortable to play. Sounds closer to my Hummingbird than the J45's I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 An impressive parade - and you seem to have found your burst-niche. These guitars should be heard'n'played every day. How I'd love to spend an afternoon on that terrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which in itself is a drool worthy instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
