E-minor7 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Okay, it has been fixed here 'n' there, no problem. This is the real deal and a wonder-ex. Maybe even a bit overpowering, but wait till the strings fall into place. Mister Punt & Co should record it again then. Wonder what kind of strings we hear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeps it is, but in all respect - it's too expensive. One could find just as fine sounders/lookers for half the dough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember buying the exact guitar Greg Koch demo'd. I never could get that same sound out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one can copy Koch - he plays double speed, , , , and actually sometimes chokes the acou-tone. G. K. could remind me of the bulky guy in Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. Very strong and so fond of small soft creatures that he unknowingly presses life out of them. . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Em7 - Yep, would love to hear with older strings. I'd guess a more clear, pronounce Gibson "Thump" on the 5th and 6th strings. I agree with what you sort of suggested there are certainly guitars more affordable, made in this century, that sound as good - at least to an untrained ear like mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge player, but not a nuanced acoustic guy, but I could still listen to the guy play an acoustic all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars68 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 For me this is the tone I hear in my head when I think of an acoustic guitar. Just superb!! The 40's SJs are also my absolute favorite guitars as far as looks, with just the perfect design. Lars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
