raunchpr Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I'm thinking of selling a maple EC30BKE, to buy a J185, is it better than the J185 ? or the same? what would you do? there is a picture in my previous post i can't seem to be able to upload a pic today. Thanks Guys.
sparquelito Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Raunchpr, Your beautiful guitar is worth over $1,800 in it's admittedly mint condition. A new or used J-185 or J-185 EC (if you wanted to stay with the acoustic-electric configuration) will cost you anywhere from $2,700 to $3,000 USD. You won't know until you pick one up and play it in person, but my suspicion is that both your Blues King and the J-185 will sound amazingly alike. They are both quality Gibsons, they both are super jumbos with similar shapes and features. I cannot imagine that you will find a great tonal disparity between the two models.
blindboygrunt Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Anyone ever have a guitar stolen at a gig ? Ive never heard of anyone having anything like that happen. In fact people at gigs are usually extremely nice , often offering help rather than eying the gear up for mischief. Be hard to steal a guitar from someone at a gig i would say. Nice guitar that. Not my cup of tea with its more modern design. Id sell it :)
rct Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 From 1971 to 2003, up and down the east coast and even in another country, I was from fairly active to very active considering I also had a full time career. Played all kindsa places in every kinda weather. Never once heard of or knew of first hand anyone having anything more than a lighter stolen from a gig. On these here innernetz I've heard of it lots since Al Gore made this all possible. NetKooks I say. rct
