flatbaroque Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Gday cobbers, Some will remember me from the ghosts of Christmas pasts. Used to post here a bit(still lurk). Mostly I just play ukes these days-go figure. But I did use some of my retirement money to get needed repairs done to my old 1951 LG-2 .Luthier did a nice job(I'm in Sydney)...took ages but I was in no hurry. Neck reset, New bridge and saddle, refret, cracks cleated, bracing reglued, klusons serviced, dodgy refinish made less dodgy. He actually did stuff he didn't quote for for no extra dough. Thought I'd bang out a few chords and pick a bit so you could see how it sounds. Sorry Gibson logo not showing in clip. Cheers John...not sure how embedding works here anymore - so I will give a youtube link and hope it works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) That came out nice, J. Good job on the cover, and the 'real' Xbraced LG tone. I hope 'cobbers' is a good thing to be. Dave Edited December 15, 2022 by jedzep 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

62burst Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Looks and sounds great. A woody sound that seems to be set up perfectly for your playing. Ukes are a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
