Maybe I am just deaf, but I compared it to my CS mystic orpheum and to my ear it sounds better than the Custom Shop when comparing the two guitars. It only matters what YOU think it sounds like. I hear folks talk on about 'the perfect tone', but I never hear them play an actual song. A good guitar player can make a crappy guitar sound good, (and vice-versa...I know from experience). If you're looking for an investment or collector guitar, I'd stay away from the Norlen Era Gibsons.....if you're looking for a player, many of them are quite nice. My love for Gibson Acoustics started with a 'Bird that looked JUST LIKE the one you have, (was a 1965 or 1966 so it could have had double parallelograms). Play it and be happy....(and post videos).

Often, when someone told Chet that his guitar sure sounded great, he’d lay it on the table and ask, “How does it sound now?” Edited September 16, 2023 by MissouriPicker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
