MorrisrownSal Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 There used to be an old vintage J45 with "WARREN" similarly inlaid on the fretboard at Matt Umanov's about decade and a half ago. It sounded great. I had no idea what vintage or old guitars meant or were worth, but I remember thinking "why would anyone buy an old beat up guitar like that instead of a new one, which costs less?" Mr. Barnwell, please forgive my youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpbiii Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 We have a Gibson named Walter. A c.1934 TB-2 with an original factory archtop ring. We call it Walter because of its walnut resonator and beautiful curly walnut 5-string neck, Pretty stupid I know, but we are easy to entertain. Going back in my hole now. Let's pick, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC_Wannabe Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Or if there are any Mikes here, I ran across this 60s J45 on Reverb... https://reverb.com/item/3097573-gibson-j-45-adj-1966-sunburst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse_Dylan Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Jeez. That was no doubt a very nice 1953 J-200 before Walter had it made over. Frankly, the name on the fretboard is the least of the travesties they visited upon it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Come in Mike Walters, old Elvis fan!
