EVH5445 Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I thought I'd share some of my Gibson and Epiphone acoustics. Some ? jeez I only have four guitars and I thought I was doing pretty well. The one's with the fancy inlays are awsome!
Gilliangirl Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Oops, spoke too soon! The first pic came up. WOW! You could play a different guitar for 15 days straight! Do you have a favourite in the crowd?

Do you have a favourite in the crowd? [/quote'] I luv 'em all, but if I HAD to choose just one, it would be a toss up btween the J35 and the better of the two McCartney Texans. Red 333
pohatu771 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I'd like to get myself a McCartney Texan... House of Guitars has one of the McCartney-signed models, but it's going for nearly $5000... a bit out of my price range. Don't knock the Fullerton guitars either... I have one of their dreadnoughts and it's the best $100 guitar I've ever played.
Taylor Player Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Beautiful group of guitars Red! I myself would be partial to the matching AJ's on either side of the couch... ;)
Red 333 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Posted April 24, 2009 Beautiful group of guitars Red! I myself would be partial to the matching AJ's on either side of the couch... Thanks, Taylor Player. The maple one sounds as you'd imagine--very crisp and clear highs and exuberant mids, with less of the thick bottom that the rosewood AJ has. It's a cannon, of course. It probably should be in the hands of a better finger picker than I, as it really excells there. It's short scale, and to my eye (and fingers), the nut has been cut for a wider string spacing than the rosewood AJ (though I've yet to take a rule out and confirm this). It also has a gentle V neck and French heel. Otherwise, it's got the famous AJ bracing and arrow inlays. I think Gibson should offer a maple-bodied J45 or AJ on a regular basis. I bet there's a lot of people who'd like the noise it makes. Red 333
