The Johnny A. is a great guitar sounds and plays like a dream but it has a unique feel and may not be for everyone. Access to the upper register is very good because of the double cutaway and neck joint placement. The guitar is slightly longer than a Les Paul. Great guitar!!

ne14t? Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Lots of nice guitars in here, forgive the crappy pics of mine all I got for a camera is my iPhone I guess the lighting wasnt good enough for an HDR shot. I made the pick guard myself out of 1/16th inch thick aluminum, the upper edge on the "horn" isn't perfectly flush, but its still a work in progress I have to brush the aluminum still to get my desired finish. I will try and follow this up with a better picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojorule Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Here's a group shot. Not the best in the world but I guess it works. They're all beautiful in this picture (the maple fretboard on the Raw Power takes some getting used to), but the Chet stands head and shoulders above the others (quite literally).

Searcy Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 They're all beautiful in this picture (the maple fretboard on the Raw Power takes some getting used to), but the Chet stands head and shoulders above the others (quite literally). Most of my Gibsons are just players. Nothing fancy. The Chet (Big Red) is the blinding acceptation It's the most amazing guitar I have ever played for chord and arpeggio work. It does weigh a ton though. Upper fret access is a bit tricky but I'm getting used to that. The killer for upper fret access is the SG hands down. It has become my go to guitar for working out ideas and recording fast riffs I don't want to forget. I never thought I would own one, now I can't believe I haven't had one my whole life. The Raw Power (Ace) is a tone monster. Much darker sounding than the SG and yet still very snappy on the attack with sustain for days. The DC Les Paul (Darkness) I have had for a long time. It's the darkest sounding one of the bunch. I don't play it much these days so I'm trying to decide if I want to sell if or do some mods to it. The 1964 DCMM is the Tele Killer. It's a joy to play and weighs less than a Parker Fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lungimsam Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Ahhh, don't hate me, 'cause (they're) beautiful. ;>) CB Just curious: Is there a discernable difference between those two gold tops when you play them? Different sound or neck feel? Could you tell blindfolded? I want to get 2 of the same guitar one day too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ne14t? Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Modern day version on the Monkees, eh?

Could you tell blindfolded? I want to get 2 of the same guitar one day too. Yeah, they're "different," in their sameness. The '50's has a fatter neck, so the feel, is a bit different. It also has orange-drop cap's, and sounds a bit more "mid-range," whereas the '60's is without orange-drops, and sounds a bit "rounder" in tone. Both are excellent sounding, and playing guitars, nonetheless. To be honest, I wasn't intending on buying another "Tribute" Gold Top, but was in the store, getting another guitar fixed, and while I waited, I was just "looking" at the new '60's versions. But, when I saw the back, on the one I have now, IT chose ME! LOL Did some "trading," and it only cost me 200 bucks, on top of my trade-in. Everyone was happy! ;>) CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
