blindboygrunt Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 we're still talking about guitars here , right ? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Since I could not predict how all the components would work together I really couldn't say about woods or anything. But it would have a V neck with a 1 7/8 nut and the old style rectangular bridge. Also it would be 12 frets to the body with white or gold script logo. I do like the ebony boards.

JuanCarlosVejar Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 for me it's a pair (or just one) of J 35's with the Ren Luthier's Choice Specs (even if he doesn't make the top). JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluesKing777 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Seems as long as it is made of wood and bone with steel strings I am fairly happy! BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danner Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Everybody should have one mahogany Gibson and one rosewood Martin. It's the natural order of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfox14 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'd go for a L-00 with a red spruce top and mahogany back & sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'd go for an AN AJ with Quilted Maple back'n'sides, Mahogany neck (long scale), Ebony fretboard (bound), Evo frets, Waverlys, bound headstock, Ebony captive-saddle bridge (like the Scruggs AJ) and a Fishman Matrix Infinity installed. I'd also have it in a top-drawer Calton case so I could fly with it without breaking a sweat. I'd very much like to own one of those. Anyone want to buy a kidney?

The only change I'd make to that statement would be to add "at least" after "Everybody should have...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'd go for a L-00 with a red spruce top and mahogany back & sides Got one, and I love it. It's almost the only thing getting paying time right now (although I have to give my old J-45 at least 15 minutes a day, or she gets jealous).
