ballcorner Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Hey man - show and tell goes around here every few weeks, but a new round encourages new photos ! These are the Gibsons I am most likely to play - AJ ('05) and a HB ('77). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Player Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 OK.... I'll play................ (I love showing photos of these babies!!!) Here are my three current acoustics (However the Custom built guitar on the left is in the middle of a potential trade for the Gibson Hollow Body shown below the first photo) Left to right is a very nice Handbuilt guitar by Jeremy Anderson (Legato Lutherie) in Minnesota. It is a 2006 built Bear Claw Sitka/Eastern Black Walnut Dreadnaugh. The Middle is my 1993 Taylor 612C and on the right is my 2005 Gibson Advanced Jumbo. Pictured below that is what I am auditioning until Sunday for the potential trade on the Legato... A 1960 Gibson ES 125TC. Hopefully the guy who is looking at the Legato likes it as much as I like the old Gibson and the trade goes as planned on Sunday. (We gave each other a week to play, check out and make sure we both agree on the deal.) I know it's not a "True" acoustic but the reason I like it so much is it plays just like an acoustic for fingerstyle and yet can scream with the original P90 pickup in it too.

ballcorner Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 the Custom built guitar on the left is in the middle of a potential trade for the Gibson Hollow Body So, why did you make the deal with your hand made guitar when you have a perfectly good Trader, oops, I mean Taylor so close at hand?

Taylor Player Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 So' date=' why did you make the deal with your hand made guitar when you have a perfectly good Trader, oops, I mean Taylor so close at hand? (you know I am just teasing you) Wil[/quote'] Because, the Taylor was purchased the year my daughter was born and I have promised her that it will be her's someday. Besides, between the Taylor and the Gibson AJ, there is nothing I can't do. Both have such different tone and appeal. The one thing they have in common is the great playability. (I did need to have my favorite luthier tweak the Gibson when I first got it, but now it plays as nicely as the Taylor does.) The Hand built guitar is wonderful too but who needs 2 dreads. Besides, it sounded a lot like my Taylor and I prefer smaller body guitars. I do have to say that the AJ doesn't "feel" like a Dread.... maybe it is the sloped shoulders but it just feels better to me than most Dreads. (Your's looks nice too... same year as mine! Wonder if they were on the same production line?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each of them has an inheritance list and they get a better guitar as their skill improves. I hope they will get my best guitars, but I wish that because they will be good players if they get to that stage. It would be neat to see how close our guitars are in production date.

Taylor Player Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Guy's gotta have a 'beater'. Funny you should say that since my Taylor will now be my cabin and travel guitar. After the bug spray incident with my Gibson AJ (Dang nitro finish!) this summer when I took it to our cabin' date=' I now have it buffed back to a nice gloss. Taylors UV finish that was put on my Taylor a few years ago when I had them refinish it at the factory is bullet proof and Deet can't harm it like the nitro on my Gibby! I hope GillianGirl also got her's buffed back to normal....

RogueBrit Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I still get this irritating 'can only see tiny pics' syndrome - if I click back, and forward again, some appear - but only some.

(That is what I have on my home computer) sometimes it works and most of the time it doesn't. At work where I have Windows but not Vista... one refresh and the photos are always normal after only seeing the tiny ones. I only have that problem on this forum.....

If you have Internet Explorer click the "refresh" button. The double green arrowed icon next to the address bar. That usually makes 'em pop.

It is possible that they don't match but my mother always told me it was unlucky to change a sock, once dressed, if you discover a mismatch. Some kind of Irish superstition. You'll be pleased to learn that the current Mrs AJ has bought 7 pairs of new socks. Each pair has its own matching stripy motif at the heel and toe so even in the gloom of early morning, I'll be able to spot a matching pair. Damn clever idea! At least I wasn't wearing her slippers this time. And to answer your question, I do dress myself........................fairly often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually try to purchase 7 - 8 pairs of identical socks at once, then dispensing with the rest. It saves time at sock foldin' time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
