Understanding Gibson Acoustic Body Shapes

[JuanCarlosVejar]

Folks,

 

Check this video out:

 

 

 

I think it will help anyone looking for their first Gibson .

[Sgt. Pepper]

That was cool. I just would have liked him to play the same thing on each guitar to really let it hit home.

I enkoyed the comparison and would like to see more .

Very nice guitars, but I got almost nothing in the way of a comparison  with him playing each with a different style of picking, but I never really get much info from a  you tube vid  to make a judgement of true sound.

I spent a couple of years doing careful comparisons of Gibsons -- also Martins.

Gibsons

Martins

LARGE FLAT TOPS (GIBSON AND MARTIN)

SMALL BODY FLAT TOP (GIBSON AND MARTIN)

These were all recorded with the same faithful sound recording system, and they all contain comparable pieces.  if you want to compare any two, bring up both videos and go back and forth.  Of course it will take months -- I did because I really wanted to know.

Best,

-Tom
