E-minor7 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Just wondering whether you've heard about this one. Looks pretty cool for my 5 Yen. X-braced ? , , , probably a thin light construction. Could be raw sounding - could be sweet-primal like a road-workers hand in a silk glove. Could be a big hollow barn with the wind blowing through it. http://www.ebay.co.u...2kAAOSwAnJZcipL Time to look it up on the Tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Looks clunky. My guess is ladder braced. Firewood. Couldn't resist saying that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 These ones sound better than good. The most convincing heard so far. 1947 ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqE46gH9BSM 1954 ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CndVYw2Lu5U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Yep. There goes my theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Bruce and Tom of Vintage Blues Guitars had one that I played when they had a booth at Gary Burnett’s B3 Vintage show a few years back. An economical way to get an old guitar without the expense if that guitar’s headstock sported a Gibson logo. The earlier ones are more sought after, before the bolt-on necks (as in your 2nd vid): The pickguard shape seemed visually unbalanced, and the headstock had a ’50’s kitsch-thing going on. Playing it felt a bit strange; the neck’s profile, and balance. Sound, as well- ‘guess there’s more to a Gibson than just the box. A National 1155 might be just the ticket for someone who wants something old, J-45-ish, but different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
