You, young Nick, played conventionally sized bone. Cheers ^ E-minor7 Actually, in 1969 My old J-45 had just been re-topped by Gibson, and had a cherryburst top and adj bridge with rosewood saddle. A year later, my J-45 was a J-50 with the same bridge/saddle, but it wasn't because of JT. I just could stand the cherryburst, and stripped it off. Now, of course, it's a J-45 again, with a replica 1950 bridge with slot-through saddle. The poor thing has been through a lot over the 54 years I have owned it.

I was of course referring to this early original state of that same guitar - Guess the then new repaired version in all its strrangeness explains a good deal. You should btw. post a pic of that after it came home. But something tells me you were too shocked to ever get it on film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept staring at it thinking WTF have they done with my guitar? I didn't want a new guitar. I wanted my old guitar, with the top re-glued and a new fretboard. Instead I got what looked like a new 1968 J-45. I guess I should be grateful they didn't strip the sides and back and put a cherry finish on them. Instead, they oversprayed them, as Gibson almost always did when you sent a guitar back for repairs. I remember looking inside to verify that it really was my guitar. For better or worse, it was.

What I'm saying is it seems to me that people here do care about what brand other people play, and that factors into their choice of guitars.

So long as she was wearing a Taylor toga, I’d still like her songs.....and I’d still dream about her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlejohnny Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) eh, guys, this is a Gibson forum, so most people here are Gibson enthusiasts/fan boys/idiots/ disciples. And you wonder, that they talk about an artist playing a gibson?? Maybe some here should attend a forum for failed comedians or dedicated to guitar-nerd-bashing.

It's become a very tired, worn out and predictable act performed by the same two people. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really any different than what's been going on here? (fwiw - if I didn't like you, I would not have responded and just walked away like I was going to do. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
