Geoffrey Lawton Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 well - haven't posted in a while but I figured I would since I just bought of the clearance J185s they had at MF. Hope it's a good one or it's going back. It has the crosses on the bridge which I prefer so it must be NOS. I've seen a few of these 'cut-outs' around the web. We'll see. I had one of these before but - stupid me - sold it for the next best thing. It's one of the few I've ever REALLY missed. Anyway - now I have to sell some stuff quick 'cause I really can't afford this one. Wish me luck. GAS is nasty stuff, eh? Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLiveSoundGuy Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Congrats and good luck. I can't imagine buying one without playing it first, but I've seen many here who have, and have received great guitars. Hope you got a real good deal. PHOTOS are a must when she gets delivered. :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarHF Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm curious to hear how the guitar is myself. I have been considering MF when I have enough to pull the trigger and get a second guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke3ee Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hi Geoff, If I remember correctly you and I did a Martin deal a few years ago. I think it was a SwmGT...Here's a shot of my J185ec .Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLiveSoundGuy Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Okay, I've had a few Shinner Bock, but one of you should try a new avatar! (j/k) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilliangirl Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Congratulations! Of course, we want pictures, your review of it when it arrives, and the name of the first song you played on it! :-s/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinNoName Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Sounds great Geoff, I love those little Maltese Crosses!! Enjoy sir, enjoy.... look forward to hear how she is when she arrives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Lawton Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Thanks for all the positive comments. BTW - I'd rather try the git first as well (who wouldn't?). And you'd figure that living about 10 miles from downtown Boston would give me plenty of opportunity to try almost anything I could think of in the guitar world. No so. The only place I've found that regularly stock Gibsons is the local GC and they never have anything more exotic that an AJ. So the internet is a must. Thank goodness MF has a very liberal return policy. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
