Taylor Player Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Man.... I thought mine was beautiful.... until I saw the back side of that georgeous gibby! Actually, I still love mine and the price difference makes me love mine more!
jefleppard Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 beautiful. i must have one. and i love the new avatar, GB!
Blaster Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 I've got a 2006 that's Madgscar RW, It's got some unusual features for a contemporary Advanced Jumbo, very fat '30s style neck that's sprayed in a sunburst, sn# on headblock instead of headstock, and a few others. It's a great sounding AJ.
albertjohn Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 I'm beginning to feel the GAS.... a couple of 'beauts there. GB love the avatar particularly the words of wisdom Young Winston.
gearbasher Posted August 7, 2008 Author Posted August 7, 2008 Blaster, That is one pretty guitar you have there. AJ, my favorite Winston quote (that I refuse to use, so you may have it) is: “You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.”

I'm sure this will come in handy in due course. My favourite is: Churchill: Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds? Woman: My goodness, Mr. Churchill… Well, I suppose… we would have to discuss terms, of course… Churchill: Would you sleep with me for five pounds? Woman: Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?! Churchill: Madam, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.

ballcorner Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Beauty guitar Blaster. I like the sunburst neck. How often do you play it?
Dave in SLC Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Gorgeous guitar, Blaster! What's the neck width at the nut? Dave in SLC
J185cat Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 I have one of those (Br RW/Adi) myself that I purchased from Music Machine a couple years back. This looks to be one of those to me, the BR back wood looks almost identical to mine. It is a GREAT sounding guitar. More warm and complex than you might expect from an AJ. I have to admit though, that Madagascar (sp?) looks fantastic. Beautiful guitar. Seeing the price, I am glad I bought mine when I did. I figured that since this was the last batch of BR from Gibson they would go up rapidly and it looks like they are. I couldn't really justify the purchase at that time except out of concern that they would run up to where I would never be able to buy one.
