Flight959 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 This is a great guitar paid like, $350 for it and it's in great condition but it's what I will use to take to my lessons or let someone use to jam or what ever. I was always nervous about putting one of my Gibbies in a gigbag to go to my guitar lesson on my bike... Beater my arse... This thread is just another excuse to post more porn!! There isnt a beater in here!!! (Not that im complaining) Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Epi PR5e It's good enough run through a board to sound pretty decent at a high plains cowboy music gig. Decent enough for some Brit video guys to say it sounded very, very good - and they'd done some music vids. Beater enough that if a li'l buckaroo in too-big hat and boots stepped on it or whatever, it wouldn't be the end of the world, either. Not worth beans for bluegrass, but even with super light 9-42 Zebra AE strings, it'd do for cowboy, acoustic blues or even probably some Gypsy jazz. For me it's also very comfortable 'cuz it's about the same size as the 175. It's also incredibly similar in appearance to the short-lived 1950s Gibson CF100e that had a single pole pickup between the soundhole and fingerboard and a cupla big knobs on the lower bout to control the pickup. A rancher/singer/songwriter friend has the old Gibson. It's rare and I don't think you'll see many in captivity. No, for what it's worth, I don't think I could get the thing away from him either with a basketfull of cash or even if you ran over him with a dump truck. Tough fella, that one, and a more than decent enough picker. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Hayden Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 This is the best beater in the whole darn world. Multi pick ups gives so many different choices of sound. I like them most don't, go figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdaddy Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 1998 Seagull S-6 cedar. I don't beat on it, it was already beat like this when I got it, but it's one I know I can just 'grab 'n' go". Best $100 I ever spent on a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it's not really a beater, but a rescue guitar, it is a L-4 that had a rough life till I picked it up in '75 for $225.00, it has had a good life ever since.
