Right? Now you can get to work on the Feb guitar - or the cologne.

“Honey, they shrunk my j45”
Great pick up, would love to try one. Congrats

 

[swivel]

Yeah, it’s a beefy neck! Not huge, but substantial. Slight “v”. Love it. I was gonna grab a vintage one, but in most cases you can’t try before you buy…….and then I’m going to use it live so that introduces the chopping up a vintage guitar for a pickup dilemma.
So, I went with this brand new one with the LR Baggs system already installed.

That's a dilemma for me now. I dont really even want to put a Strap button jack in it! Although the original plastic button falls out of the tapered hole anyway.....

Sure is pretty. Congratulations

 

[Jelly Roll Horton]

Tony, since my guess that it was going to be a Gibson was correct, do I get to borrow it If I ever get to Atlanta?. At least get to play it?

 

[mbkri]

Congratulations Tony. 100% agree on the Gibson acoustic sound. Thats a beauty. Well done.

 

[Dana Rudd]

Great looking Gibson Tony enjoy it.

 

[toddfan]

I can get on board with that! Lovely guitar! And, I agree with your assesment of the Gibson sound....I sold all my Taylors last year and kept my J-45 'cause it sounded best.

Tony, Tony, Tony! You need help man.

 

[TSims1]

Tony, Tony, Tony! You need help man.

I don’t need any help - I get into enough trouble all on my own!!

 

[Bertotti]

How does it compare to the Maton?

 

[ruger9]

Oh man... been wanting one of those for awhile! Congrats!

And yes- would love to hear a side-by-side with the Maton, the OTHER acoustic I really really want LOL

This slays the Maton acoustically. Matons excel in live plugged-in environments imo.

Congrats on the new Gibson, Tony. May it inspire you, and may it give joy to all who get to hear it!

I keep eyeballing a slope shoulder Martin. I’m a Martin guy but that is a great looking guitar!

 

[Bertotti]

@TSims1 have you played one of the slope shoulder Martins? How does it compare? I am assuming the Martin is a Martin and the Gibson is a Gibson. I’ve played the CEO7 which was very similar in tone to my 000-18ge ‘37 but it had a natural break up you would hear as you played hard. Does the Gibson do something like that? That was the reason I don’t buy it too close to what I had and the hard playing tone had a bit of an edge to it. If the Bobby stay nice and clear it could be a contender and give me some gas!

Are you planning a video review? You always do such a good job of those.

Wow ... BEAUTIFUL and congrads
