JuanCarlosVejar Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 J, Found a clip of the maple editon AJ. This was a recent Gibson Event by Bailey bros: I'd be all over that guitar if it was a lefty. JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroAussie Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Wish he would play more and talk less. But from those first few seconds the tone was pretty rough and not particularly pleasant. I was chatting with Jeremy Morton, who's been living in Germany fora couple years and his view on maple Gibson is that it works on the largest bodied guitars (Dreadnought, Jumbo) and not so much on the smaller bodied varieties. I tend to agree with him. I took at some other vids, like this one, and still dont realy like it, the tone is very present, but to my ears quite cold. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA7ltaoHdf4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I personally like the cold clarity of the Maple AJ. These vids don’t really do them justice, in person they sound HUGE. I played one in Glasgow when the limited run of 65 was released and it blew my socks off. So much power and volume but immaculate note separation, right the way across the spectrum-it never got muddy or woolly at the bottom end and just rang like a bell.

The thing is light as a feather and has wonderful tone!!! There's just something about it that's magical. Elvis Costello was right when he said the guitar was a "Marvelous Piece of Work" I wish I knew what made this guitar so great. @jinder even though the recording is not the best I can stil tell the guitar is a beast.
