G Man Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Not sure what it is, but I really like a burst hog top. Nice score, hope it sounds as good as it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 CongratuFreakinLations! Looks comfortable to play, can't imagine how sweet it'll sound. And that burst is perfect for mahogany. A keeper for sure ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMELEYE Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Love to hear this one. My all hog WL-12mh is a terrific sounding L-00 (shape) guitar. I'll bet this Gibson sounds just as good, if not better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Neil Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Congratulations. I agree with others here that a sunburst on a mahogany top looks beautiful - and 'serious' for some reason (or is that just 'seriously beautiful'`? But I digress...) I suspect that a hog top might take a bit more breaking in - or at least warming up each session - to really show its voice. We all look forward to your thoughts in comparison to the stock L-00 sound. My guess at this stage is that it may be similar to Koa guitars. More mellow and pretty with good sustain. In any case, enquiring minds wish to know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get time, I'm going to do a good comparison to the following - Gibson L00 '32 RI - spruce/hog Zeiler L00 - spruce/hog Gibson L00 aged top- spruce/rw Gibson L00 Nick Lucas - spruce/rw Gibson '42 LG1 - hog/hog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpbiii Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I guess they had a late 20s/early 30s 00 sized guitar in mind when they built that guitar. The only old mahogany top Gibson I have is a 42 LG-1 -- I do have several old 0-17 and 00-17s. The th old LG-1 is cool for sure. Here is an example.

I love the way it articulates and separates on alternating thumb folk and gospel stuff. The Martin mahogany has a bit fuller sound -- lovely too, but fo me subjectively in this area the LG-1 wins. Happy new year, =Tom Edited January 27, 2023 by tpbiii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
