Gilliangirl Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Wow wow wow!! Would love to be there! Look at the stunningly gorgeous one, 8th pic down. OMG it's beautiful!! Thanks for the pics, onewilyfool :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarstrummer Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Thanks for the link to the pictures. Can you say, "GAS"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWilson Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Onewileyfool-Stop, stop, you're killin' me. I now have terminal GAS. What absolutely beautiful guitars! I really love the blonde, rather plain looking J-200 with the reddish pickguard. Would that be the TV model? How about the black one with the stars all over the place? The one Karen pointed out next to it caught my eye too. It's definitely a round shouldered dred, my favorite. How great would it be to have all of them hanging on your wall waiting to be picked and strummed. I'm with you, Karen, I'm going out to get my lottery tickets right now!!

guitarstrummer Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Now, now, TWilson. You keep drooling all over yourself and there's no way they'll let you in the back room at Music Villa during the Homecoming. They've usually got a Gibson Masterpiece, as well as some other models just as nice as the ones in these pictures. Learn to control yourself. You've got 4 1/2 months to work on it.

TWilson Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Ok, Mike, I've got it all under control now! I'm biting on a bullett and watching Wheel of Fortune. My mind is now completely numb, no thoughts at all! Dear, dear Karen, Yes, I'll bring all of them to Homecoming in an airconditioned, humidity-contrtolled limo. (Might as well dream BIG, eh? LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a favorite of one of my "Martin friends". I have to pat him down every time he leaves my house after a visit, as he's vowed to end up with it one way or the other.

onewilyfool Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hey Mike....how does the sound on that Koa guitar of yours differ from your other J-45's? I played an all -koa Gibby at a local guitar shop and as beautiful as the wood was, the sound was lacking....hope you got a good one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would describe the sound between mahogany and rosewood. When you said that you played an "all-koa", was the top koa too? If so, I've heard that those really take a long time to open up, but when they do......watch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yeah MIke....it was a Maui Wowie.....or something like that....all Koa......Just tried it in the shop, so didn't have a chance to open up.....beautiful though......glad you got a winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarstrummer Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Those Maui Wowie's are really nice looking guitars. I would bet that once it opens up, it would be a killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
