Tman Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 . The above paragraph accurately describes how I feel at this moment: Speechless. I got the call and went to Instrumental Music. John, rocker turned music store proprietor brought it out. I have his permission to post. Stunning. Photos won't do it justice. Look at the figuring! Looks like 3D quilted walnut that forms a diamond (no hallucinogens on board I promise!). Yours truly, a happy man! Plays like a dream. More and tighter low end than the J-200 and also neck just a touch slimmer - perfect!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Das Es Nice. Yesterday was my 5th wedding anniversary and the wife gave be clearance to buy a guitar. I want an acoustic with a cutaway and no electronics. I think you have to check out the 2016 line. The feel is outstanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I tried a J-100 1941 and loved it. This one was ordered and I requested "figuring" on the fret board. Instrumental music is about to become a 5-star dealer and they were happy to get the order. Plus it's California walnut! Did I hear somebody say "California" walnut? Nice.

Used to go to the store in Santa Barbara every time I was in town. That figured walnut is beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson has stepped up the game. Avec du vin blanc de la California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuXeNZaZDWU Turn down the volume its a bit loud. A little too much optimization I guess. Compared a 1997 Gibson J-200 Maple with a 2016 Gibson J-100 Walnut. I kept all variables the same except that the J-200 was recorded in the middle of a perigee full moon lunar eclipse and the J-100 was recorded later, in the last half. I think that may have affected the tone - you decide. I tried to vary it a bit by just plucking open strings with the side of my thumb then some finger picking and some strumming. The only other difference was that the J-200 has an L.R. Baggs element pickup and the 100 has an L.R. Bags Anthem pickup. Input levels were the same, all equalization was the same. A big difference is that the J-200 is broken in and has been played a lot. The J-100 is brand new. Look at the walnut through the sound hole in the second part. Looks like dark chocolate. delicious. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'll have to watch that vid when I get home. Or just come to see you and have a go in February! Can't wait. Showed the pics to the wife last night and she said "he doesn't look like a guitar player". I asked her if I do, she looked as if I'd asked her a silly question. I'll never understand women.

Well I am certainly not going to ask her what I do look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you sound more like a guitarist than I do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
