E-minor7 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Classy appearance all over - lots of bass and clarity, , , not that much in between. Totally dig the headstock, but would like greenish tulips now that we are among the wildflowers. Imagine they shimmer purple, pink, , , and green too. .

Gibson is entitled to price things as they see fit . The outrage of people just because it’s beyond their grasp doesn’t concern Gibson ... They have basic models as well that aren’t out of reach for someone who wants a fine guitar . People who couldn’t afford Gibsons and Martins in the 30’s purchased other brands . People who won’t be able to afford Gibsons or Martins in 100 years will buy other brands as well.

Truth be told, the standard model is a dream that most guitarist will never realize. I am truly blessed to own one, & I never forget that.

I’m interested in a different Gibson model more than the Tom Petty . I don’t have the 10K right now but that doesn’t mean that I couldn’t get a TP model if I really really wanted one . I dig it but there’s another model that I’m interested in and that’s what I’m going to put my money towards . JC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to open old wounds, but do you still have the custom J-200 lefty you had built a number of years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucebubs Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Would I choose it over my 2020 Historic 1957 SJ-200? Well, the back and sides are beautiful but no, not even if they were priced the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
