JuanCarlosVejar Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Folks, Some time ago I had a dream where Gibson made me a Country Western In Sunburst And today I came across this: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=psx8AKaMYNk Man I love the looks and sound.I wonder if someone who speaks Danish can translate? Plus there is footage from the Montana factory. A sweet video . 1967 Tim Christensen SJN signature It is with excessive pride and joy that we can present a completely unique and unique guitar. As the first guitarist in Tim Christensen now a gibson guitarmodel bearing his name. The Guitar is a tribute to the brilliant songwriter and guitar player and is a limited edition, limited to 30 pieces. Many months of work and research is the basis for this guitar., but it has been all worth it for out of the search has come the most amazing and beautiful guitar you can imagine Tim Christensen has always played Gibson acoustic and songs like " right next to the right one ", " superior " and " King's garden " on his old Gibson which forms the basis for Tim Christensen Signature Gibson. Specifications and further information can be found here: http://www.akushop.dk/product.asp?product=5500 Guitar sold exclusively in acoustics and is costing us $ 34999,- Must say a big thank you to John Fonnesberg and nicolai works for good cooperation!

Lars68 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Beautiful guitar! I know some Danish and understand most of the video. There is actually very little mentioned about the specifics of the guitar. They talk more in general terms of making a copy of his 1967 guitar.

Salfromchatham Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 JC I'll ask my mom to translate it for you later. And you have most excellent taste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Cool story JCV! Tonight I'll do my damnedest to dream of an affordable Byrdland in black a'la Ted Nugent's #1 and let's see what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Very nice guitar - and it sounds good. Seems as if the back-braces are quite close the original, but if the top-ditto are what is shown here, they won't be what we know as historical correct. Then again it could be another model. I'd like to try this one for sure - and see exactly where it differs from the Sheryl Crow. The thin lacquer factor is interesting. So is the wide-X-bracing ! What about the nut-width. They measure the probably narrow original (1-5/8 or 9/16), but the new is the contemporary 1-3/4. Well that's positive. Eeeehh JCV, the sunburst version of a Country Western has been called Southern Jumbo for 54 years - in fact more. And it's the other way around. The Country Western saw light of day in 1956 as a natural variant of the SJ, which was born as a blinged J-45 back in the early 40's, , , , , , , thus the square guitar in the video isn't an SJN - which means Southern Jumbo Natural = Country Western. So if I'm not totally off here, the guys are on deep water. Regarding language and translation, try to set this thread up in Internet Explorer - I see English sublines there. All in all an exciting post - thanx for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhanners623 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 If you have the power to wish a Gibson into existence, please center your thoughts on an affordably priced 12-fret sloped dread. Yeah, Gibson has offered the Jackson Browne model recently, but they sure are are pricey.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 OK, I am confused - the whole burst SJN/C&W thing. Why not just call the guitar an SJ which is what the original '67 was. Then again if Gibson can make a J-45 Natural I guess they they can build an SJN/C&W in a burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 OK, I am confused - the whole burst SJN/C&W thing. Bozeman was on the SJ retro-game before. Not as detailed as the one in the video, but rather close, , , and with mr Ferguson signing the confusion. Country ! Western ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few more nice ideas too if we have a dream channel to Bozeman. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
