Mr. Paul 22 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 (edited) Outside the regular Gibson box ... really like the looks of this one!

fortyearspickn 432 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I've got a J-45 Custom with herringbone binding. i love it. Makes it just a little bit different. Abalone rosette. What is really amazing - is when you can find two Gibson guitars that are actually The Same ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it's Rosewood with inlays in the bridge and a special inlay on the headstock, I had one just like it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes and No. YES: . herringbone binding on body; abalone rosette, inlays on the bridge.. Same type design but smaller for the Fret Markers. (I think they called them SnowFlakes or Lucky Charms?) A fleur de lis type design on the headstock which was designed by Ren Fergusson. NO - mine is Koa b/s. The first one I grab 3/4 of the time. Would be the last one I'd let go !

fortyearspickn 432 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Mine has a tiger stripe p/g. First one, didn't like it at first. Now I prefer it. They grow on you - like barnacles. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I recently made a few pick guards for a custom L00 to see which one I like. I liked the black and darker tiger stripe. On advise from a couple members I went with the tiger stripe. I've seen plenty black guards on Gibson electrics and elevated pick guards but I don't recall seeing a black one glued on. I've seen plenty Martin's with black ones.

Sgt. Pepper 1,007 Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 (edited) The darker one looks better than the orange one IMO. Edited February 4 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
