JuanCarlosVejar Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Folks, This thing sounds fantastic : JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hmm, interesting. The tone does have a nice vintage flavour to it but it also to me sounds like its holding back a bit. Im guessing they were already getting a bit over braced by 68 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 As we know some of these heavies sound very good - this is one of them. Woody, warm and dry. EA is right, the tightness of 68 is heard - it's simply more focused, , , or as one member here once said : Like a mono record. Worth noticing there are no p-guard screws. Probably one of the last without for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Yeah, Gibson started beefing up the bracing in 1968. But for me the narrow nut and skimpy neck carve are a deal breaker from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for me the narrow nut and skimpy neck carve are a deal breaker from the start. 68 for sale (for years) near me.....that neck is a pencil! What WAS the plan and thinking there? Is it for one note at a time stuff? (The one in the video above has a way wider nut). BluesKing777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSoxBiker Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I played one once in a store when looking for my first really nice acoustic. At the time, I stretched my budget up to $3k and it was somewhat painful at that. The '68 was two things. Heaven on Earth and $5k. never played anything like it, before or since. Realistically, I had not business taking on the role of curator at the time. Not a few years ago. Anyhow, thanks for posting that video. The tone of that thing popped through a few times and it was nice. Might be just me, but it felt like he could have coaxed more out of it. I don't know why, but I'm left with the impression that HE would have sounded better playing a Martin. Maybe the style of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
