JuanCarlosVejar Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Who is Aaron Lewis?...I know I could google it, but I want to hear from your perspective. Thanks! Well Aaron is a singer/ songwriter from Massachussets . he is also the"frontman" for the Rock band "Staind" he particularly rose to prominence in the mid 90's with other NU Metal acts such as Korn and Limp Bizkit but he does solo acoustic show to and he has a CANNON in his voice . His songs are well crafted and his guitar playing in very nice too . He likes to collect vintage instruments. Songs like "Outside" "zoe jane" "Epiphany" are fantastic . he is very commited to the place where he lives , he hasn't let fame turn him into a zombie rock star . And his music is very powerful . I think if you listen to songs like " Tangled Up In You" you will find yourself enjoying his music !! He has a unique voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroAussie Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I do recommend one ... not only being a great guitar its a babe magnet ...;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson101 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Sure wouldn't mind getting my hands on one, Aaron has a great voice and I definitely wore out my Staind "Break The Cycle" CD back in the day. One of my favorite CD's of all time. Being a big Hank Jr. fan it's great to see the direction Aaron has gone. JCV, Epiphany is quite possibly my most played song of all time, glad to see someone else enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Guy Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 You can certainly get a lefty Aaron Lewis SJ - I enquired here in the UK & was told "yes, but it will be a custom order". In the end I ordered a Wildwood "New Vintage" SJ, which should be with me in the next couple of weeks. The reason I went for this rather than the Aaron Lewis was that I wanted the True Vintage spec with full SJ bracing as the AL has Advanced Jumbo top bracing, plus I kinda like the batwing pick guard. EuroAussie clearly loves his AL, so I'm sure you'd enjoy a lefty version. Here's a better video of Aaron playing his signature guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParlourMan Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I do recommend one ... not only being a great guitar its a babe magnet ...;-) You let Mrs EA loose on the Gibsons? Mrs PM likes to have the odd dabble too, but it's mostly hymns she can play remembering them from school... I have to detox them with a rendition of Sympathy for the devil afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torca Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 JV,Lefty has a very good reason for New Vintage choosing,these Wildwood special run guitars are outstanding,build wise but with very distinct features.As you are an owner of the TV 200(myself included) I would suggest that may spoil you in pursuit of other Gibsons,as TV's are so uniquely great.I started searching for a Gibson slope and realized I was hooked on TV features(finish,bracing,appointments ect) and other models that carried that tradition,such as Wildwood/Fullers/and Music Zoo runs.Finally accepted that I am now a True Vintage convert and went whole hog and bought a Legend J-45.Wow.Stay TV IMHO.

E-minor7 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Have to learn this chord – seems to be enjoyable. Lefty tells the Aaron L. SJ is top-braced like a Advanced Jumbo*. Aha !?! Are you aware of this EuroA.. Could it be the reason you suddenly have a regular J-45 in the lens ? *whatever that means - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Actually I had no idea what bracing it had, just knew I love the way it sounded and felt. But Im not looking at a regular J-45, if I was going to add another Gibson to the stable it would almost certainly be a HB TV or J-200. Have to learn this chord – seems to be enjoyable.

JuanCarlosVejar Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 :) Well I Love Epiphany If You Ever Wanted To Say "I Love You" to someone that the song you say it with ... thanks to Lefty guy and the other members , I'll look in to the SJ TV and in the event that I cannot decide we'll I might just have to save up for both XD Personally and I think LEfty Guy will agree with me , as a Lefty when you hear a great righty that's all you have (as a reference) because you cannot just go in the store and play one. I saw the AL SJ trailer and that guitar SINGS !!!! . so let's see where this takes us . EA loved seeing your wife on the guit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
