JuanCarlosVejar Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Folks. Here the 65 Dove owner talks about some of the repairs that the guitar will need. Enjoy JC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 He plays at the end like a young Jimi Hendrix. It really is a great-sounding guitar. No surprises on the issues so far. Let's see what they find when they get into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 One really hears what the t-o-m is about after he tunes down at 5:35 and plays slower chords. There's an almost amplified metallic ring, which gives the guitar its specific depth & soul. Seems it still has the old strings and that doesn't hurt a bit. Wait till we get a real recording - perhaps in a blend with other instruments. Precious things ahead. Look forward to follow these fliers.

fortyearspickn Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Great - love followups on stories like this. Thanks JCV ! Those divots in the fingerboard remind me of that time I tried to play golf. I thought the wear on my old LG1 was embarrassing - it was nothing compared to this one. No doubt this guitar was played. Certainly doesn't need a Tone-Rite ! Edited December 18, 2019 by fortyearspickn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratherbwalkn Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Great playing, beautiful guitar. thanks PS I dont think there's anything that sound better musically than when someone knows how to get all they can from a good acoustic guitar.

fortyearspickn Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Those nice fat 1960s frets will be easy to dress, the question is whether they'll have to be removed to deal with the divots in the rosewood. My question is - How can the pick guard look brand new with all the wear throughout the guitar, especially where the spruce is worn away just below it? And, what's with that faded, eery photograph of a child on the headstock? Would it be bad juju to remove it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m loving these vids though. Very, very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinder Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I am so in love with this guitar. It just seems so open and dry and filled with breeze and soul. He is such a lucky man to own it. I hope he has the repairs done by a Dan Erlewine or similar who can make it solid but keep that otherworldly tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1950 J-45 I bought earlier this year still has a tiny dealer decal on the back near the neck heel, as well as a small dealer label inside: Dusi Music Shoppe, Youngstown, Ohio. My first instinct was to remove them. But they had been on the guitar since 1950, and the owner had never removed them. So I left them.

However this particular case would provide me with a dilemma. A babyface once dear and precious for a dad or uncle. Not sure. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle fester Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Ok, maybe i missed it in the thread, but what makes this person's review so wonderful. Is he an established player or some sort of role that makes him an authoritative critic? Or is it just a cool guitar? Not sure I'm getting it?
