j45nick 484 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 It is a bit odd, for sure. Maybe if I didn't know what the "right" way was, I would not feel that way. But it still looks unnatural to my eye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that after wanting a Gibson SJ-200 for so many years and pouring over the different models and specs, things like Grover roto's versus keystone tuners, 4-bar insert bridge versus 2-bar, sunburst versus natural, to suddenly see a model with upside down crown fret markers just hurt my eyes!

cunningham26 32 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I love the tal farlow- as original as the man himself. Definitely in the rarified air of the trini lopez and barney kessel for doing something super creative with their sig design Quote Link to post Share on other sites
