oceanman Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I might be looking into a build of that model crossed with a Gibson Johnny A model for a final project for my internship. I assume the work needed and knowledge of building such a guitar would be a finally in itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
groovingdan Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I live in lansing and was actually thinking of going to elderly today. I may have to play that guitar a bit.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twisted Acres Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Frankly that's less than I thought the price was gonna be... not that I can have my limo driver go pick it up for me or anything... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markosis Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 That tailpiece is pimp. On a side note, I just got me one of these, although mine's a '76, its pretty much the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm Incinerator Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I must be the only one who doesn't find these the least bit attractive. They do have a good tone though...just not my bag. I think they'd feel a little clumsy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oceanman Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I would make mad love to it. Looks never really have a deciding factor for me unless it's way over fabed out w/ unneeded inlays or hair band paint jobs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anthony Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 I would make mad love to it. Great quote. I know what you mean. But lust is usually reserved for acoustics with exotic wood, like this one: http://www.theguitarshoppe.com/martinguitar.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
