modoc_333 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 no problem! I know the customers had a good time... but I was so glad to see Ren REALLY enjoy it too. not just another day at the office. it was good for him! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I have to say He Is Aging quite graciously . :) And I'm glad , I read he has some arthritis in a hand . but I'm glad he is still looking quite nice for a man in his 60's :) . God Bless his soul Gee, Juan Carlos, there are a bunch of us in our 60's on this forum. Life doesn't end at 40, or 50, or 60, or even 70. Les Paul played pretty well for a long, long time, you know. I may not be Les Paul, but I still like to play. And then there's "geezers" like Jorma K and EC. And Keef. And Pete Townshend, etc, etc, etc. Sure, the arthritis in my hands can make things difficult. That's why God invented "vitamin I". That's ibuprofen to you young guys.

maow Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 How about the Luthier's Choice J35 in terms of specification and tone? This looks very nice with vintage color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdd707 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hey folks ... I was there and if you should have the chance to catch Ren (or any such demonstration as this) ..... Do it!!!! A very down to earth and practical guy ... full of information but not full of himself. Great part of the presentation was to hear the many guitars at the store being played in turn ...... all as Ren explained a point or answered a question about that particular guitar or some aspect of the guitar. The two hour "talk" went by in a flash. Thanks to Bailey Brothers .... lucky to have them in the area. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maow Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thank you very much rar for the information of this J35. The specification is really interesting, but only 11 been built. I do envy everyone who was there with a really good chance to talk with Ren. I can imagine when jdd707 described the atmosphere of that day.

Red 333 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thanks for the picture and update, Modoc_333. I'm glad the event was a success, and you had such a good time with Ren. I met him accidentally, in Bozeman, before I even owned a Gibson guitar. Even though he was leaving the factory for the day when I bumped into him (and was not fully aware who he was), he went out of his way to show me show me some cool things that weren't included in the tour, answer my questions, and pose for a picture. He is a very gracious man, and seems humbled (and maybe slightly bemused) by the attention given to him. That J-35 looks awesome, too (thanks for the specs, RAR). It seems like a "Legend" model in spec, if not in name. I have the "Luthier's Choice" neck profile on my Fuller's J-35 (so I was told), and it's very beefy but surprisingly comfortable. The Fuller's is such a great sounding guitar, I can only imagine what the "Luthier's Choice" model sounds like. If they're not all sold by October, I'm hoping that Fuller's will have one at the Arlington, TX Guitar Show (the largest in the US).

modoc_333 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Glad you liked the event JD! we were super excited to get him to come down. He is so full of knowledge and such a nice guy. I feel lucky to know him personally. He is a good friend to have :) as for him being down to earth.... i had him sign the back of my headstock and he thanked ME for letting him! that's just the kind of guy he is. We already sold our J35.... just an amazing piece. I knew it wouldn't hang around long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maow Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Finally, I've got the J35 Luthier's Choice with no.10. I've checked with Bob Burns, Gibson customer service, and the certificate. This model was only 16 made in year 2011. I love sound of this guitar and it quite different from SJ/TV that I have. I will keep her best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already went over this in the Dealer versus Internet Dealer thread: They're a 5-Star dealer, but not an Authorized Internet dealer -- most 5-Star dealers aren't -- so they are not allowed to advertise their stock on their website. -- Bob R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really prefer to have you come in anyway. It's more personal, you can get better service, and we make sure you get the guitar you will be most happy with. If you can't make it in, then send me a message on the board, or email (check my profile). -Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
