jedzep Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Got my hands on a much sought after 'callback' guitar. There are two guitars I actively engage in callback negotiations. This 20 yr old sweet little Martin 5 size 'Terz', and a modified '57 ES-125TC 3/4 size, which I will probably never re-acquire. Doesn't matter, because I'm so grateful the guy I sold this to 7 yrs ago saw my UMGF plea and offered it back to me. Now I'm in deep throes of falling back in love with it, as I'm getting used to the tiny size and voice ( entire length 33", lower bout width 11 and change ), so it's much akin to a baritone uke. Tone? Not loud, of course, but very warm with a sound very similar to Willie's 'Trigger'. In the seven years since I sold it I've become a different player and found I can now find it's voice. Back then, I couldn't. I think Gibson would do well to create a similar model, as they shied away from building a true parlor guitar, and it's subdued woody tone is the Gibson trademark. You can see the size difference alongside my '31 L0. Howzat for crowbarring?
