Cougar Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I always loved the idea of this short-scale "Compact Jumbo," abalone-rosetted, ebony-fretboarded, burst J-165. Well, I finally bought one. Freaking beautiful guitar. Its condition was listed as "mint," and I see no reason to disagree. I put on new strings, plays easy, big sound comes out of this thing! Thing is, I'm playing jumbo Guild 12-strings about 99% of the time. Hate to have this beauty just sitting around. So I've put this [url=https://reverb.com/item/76154008-excellent-condition-2006-gibson-j-165]back up for sale on reverb[/url] for about what it cost me. $100 off for Gibson forum members! https://reverb.com/item/76154008-excellent-condition-2006-gibson-j-165 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Good Luck - it's a beauty. Checks off many boxes for me ! Boxes, already checked off by 3 different guitars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 Thanks, Murph. Yeah, I figure I'll take a bit of a hit, like paying rent on having this beauty for a while. That's usually how it goes with buying and selling guitars, at least in my experience. (What sucks with reverb nowadays is having to pay tax on purchases! 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically rented it for a little over $3 a month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
