Lanniepig Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I recently posted an ad trying to sell/trade a 1965 Gibson Southern Jumbo. It was pretty hard finding the right buyer since the top was cracked and had been repaired. Lots of people told me I had a piece of junk. I knew better but nobody else would even put it in their hands and give it a chance. Then, about two weeks ago, the right set of eyes read my ad and saw the pics. He came and played it for a couple of hours. He really didn't like the cracks but every time he's start to play it, he'd say "Man this thing sounds nice!!!" I ended up trading for his '07 Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom. Two completely different animals but we both ended up with a grin on our face. The old SJ made his friends jealous and my new Les Paul made my friends jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanniepig Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 My computer locked up at home and I can't get the pics off. I've gotta bring my camera to work to get the pics off of it here. It's a real deal. Sorry for the delay. I've been home in bed sick and haven't been doing much of anything. I'm working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanniepig Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 As happy as I am with this Classic Custom, I'd love to find a '58 or '59 even a reissue with a honeyburst top on it. That is my "Ultimate" one to have. It just suits my taste a little better. Again, NOTHING to gripe about with this one. I love the color and I think I'd like playing the thicker 50's neck since I have big hands. Any takers out there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
