jannusguy2 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Just wondering if you had received the guitar.... looking forward to seeing the pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMELEYE Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Bought it last Saturday, but they kinda dropped the ball and didn't ship it until Tuesday. So now it'll sit on a truck or in a warehouse until Monday (unless UPS doesn't do home delivery on the holiday, then it'll be Tuesday). Arggh! Thanks, Rob, for asking. When it finally makes it here, I'll do a review and post some pix. Ce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAMELEYE Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 You're tellin' me! UPS Tracking shows the guitar's about 10 minutes away (on a truck or in their warehouse). So I called UPS this morning, and they're closed. Otherwise, I could have gone over and picked it up. So, we're back to Monday. I'll get to wait around the house all day for the truck.

CAMELEYE Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Thanks, John. Been A/B/Cing it with my Fuller's J-35 and my (gasp!) Martin D-18V. Think it came with coated strings, sounds kinda not so lively, especially on the A and g strings ... a "flatter" less ringy tone. Will try a set of D'A PBs later tonight.

jannusguy2 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Don't over think it, CE! Mine is unique compared to all my other Gibsons. It stands alone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMELEYE Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Unique is right! Still finding that 12 fret neck on a jumbo a little "different". Restrung with regular D'A PB lights. Sounds way better. I suspect the strings that came on it were the plastic coated variety, not my favs by a long shot. Now the SJ sounds bright and ringy, with the nice deep bass that the lower bridge placement enhances. Plenty of volume too. So, now it's loud, deep, resonant, punchy, bright and jangly like the best of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modoc_333 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 i'm so glad you like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAMELEYE Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Can't put it down. Every day it seems to open up a little more. Of course, I'm probably learning just where and how this particular guitar likes to be played as well. Every one's a tad different ... makes the world go 'round, I know, but this 12 fretter really is something special. Ce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
