ballcorner Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 It is a sad thing if you have to go eBay. I would think someone around here would buy it up. It is mint and beautiful, and there is no shortage of praise for AJs on this forum. Do it Gilliangirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstancil Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 Agreed, I actually don't think I will ever let this one get to ebay, just not worth it. So lets just keep this thread going with more good discussion about the AJ and history of Gibson and eventually someone should buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people were inquiring about AJ's on UMGF.com. You might try posting in their buy and sell. Good luck--beautiful guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstancil Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 I wanted to post it there but for some reason I cant find a button to start a thread.

jstancil Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Nevermind, figured it out. I had a yuku account but had not actually applied for a UMGF account. I will get a classified add up there ASAP. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballcorner Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I'm still paying off a new back door from a recent break-in here. Sorry to hear about that. A break in is a really tough experience. I had an aunt who actually had to sell a house after a break in because she didn't feel safe in it anymore. It was heartbreaking to watch. I am fortunate to have no fear of break-in because I have three killer Yorkshire Terriers who are throat attack trained. Once, a couple of guys looked in the window like they were gonna try it, but when they saw the two girl's diamond collars, they decided to leave without their whoopin! The male slept through the experience because he knew the babes had it all under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefleppard Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 seems like admin is doing a sweep. back to topic... i had a chance to ABCD/AJ/HB/J45rw/SWD at GC in detroit today. i went with a friend so we took turns playing and listening to get a perspective. here are my thoughts: it was clear to see the contrast between the aj and the J45. THE AJ seemed like each string was the same gauge but with a different pitch. so, would we call that balance or tight? JK would know how to say it properly. honestly, i jokingly asked the overly-eager service rep, Dean, (hi, i'm dean! i'm there for you when you need a hand!K!?) if there were 15 guage strings on this beast. the AJ was also the loudest followed fairly closely by the SWD. the swd had more thud in the bass and a little more shimmer in the highs and i have to say i'm still proud to own one. best smell award goes to the aj. ever since i quit drinking my sense of smell is very acute. as for the j45's there were two rw's. i played them both and must say there was little difference between them. very, very mellow indeed. i could tell one needed new strings as it was just about dead but mellow, in spite of this. both nowhere near as loud as the aj or swd. since i am a heavy handed player, volume is a big issue for me. i think my ensuing deafness is also playing a role here, too. the bird was a little dissapointing as it was weak in the volume dept. still a nice guitar but i wouldn't recommend one to a strummer like myself: i think it would get buried in a mix. i resolve that i am not a big hog fan, either. on a side note, there are some nice epi's out there. wow. i was impressed. i mean, there is some real garbage out there but i played an aj200 (199us) and an ej200(349us) and what a great deal these are. certainly, they do not compare to a top-line montana but very good value there. they sound really nice and the aj was quite meaty. i hope this helps someone. oh, and not all canadians are a holes. g'night.

Rambler Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Cunk: thanks for the show and tell. Sounds spot on, except may be the 'bird being at risk for getting "buried in a mix." By itself, a hog may not jump out like a rose, but with other instruments, the hog tends to cut through. Check those middle periods Stones records, er, cds: Beggers, Bleed, Sticky-- and you'll hear what I mean. Those Birds and Doves stand out (although to be fair, Stills Young got an up front from their D28s on the Springfield stuff). Anyway, of the [rose] Gibsons, id agree that the AJ cuts through the best. AJs! See, JS--still on topic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstancil Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hey guys hows it going? Just wanted to throw another bump in here as this guitar is still available! I have a few mp3's I made with my Zoom H4 or it unplugged and plugged in I can email you. I recorded two new songs with the AJ and put them up on my myspace page. The songs are "Don't Look Back In Anger" and "Cumbersome" Also, since I sold a few other items I am pretty close to the final amount in cash I need to put back into savings to appease the wife! Therefore I am open to a trade + cash deal, I just need to get somewhere around 500 in cash. Trades I would be interested in would be other acoustics with at lease a 1 3/4" nut or wider or some PA equipment. I am pretty interested in the Genz Benz Shenandoah line of acoustic amps, specifically the ones you can add an extension cab and make into a small PA. Let me know what you all have! justin_stancil at hotmail dot com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstancil Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Ive seen a lot of talk about the AJ here recently, thought I would throw out a little reminder that I have a very fine AJ still available for sale or partial trade!! email with any questions, offers, comments, or just to request the mp3's to hear for yourself. justin_stancil at hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
