howdy again,
i received a 2013 KM1050. extreme, extensive finish cracking, see pix. in the channel/recurve areas of the top and back, the cracks are a bit more longitudinal. was a surprise.

howdy all,
searched but nothing to similar to this issue.
if the pix (a bit blurred) comes thru, you will see how the superior case "fabric" has curled away from the body for 7"-8". all clean...

just have to offer my perspective as i believe there are some terms that are good for describing a tone, although that is a task which is inherently difficult.

relative to the initial post, i would also offer up D'angelico archtops (the originals) as the epitome of an instrument, for the benchmark for archtops. i have a number of very nice gibson and...
hi,
i love using my A8 for some types of gigs.
i have the same prob w/ my G string, usually the outside one shifting but sometimes both. i play fairly hard at times, use a 1.5mm proplec on...
sounds like an interesting mix. i'm a consumer of the exp74s on my F models.
at my end however, i don't think i need any more beef, or the extra tension, on the E and A on my red diamond or...
a very nice looking and apparently fine sounding piece of art.
relative to the air volume discussion, excepting for the sound port concept, this E-5 design seems to be another take on the guitar...
hey,
anybody know the website for big joes place?
i tried the bigjoesguitarworks.com and it comes up as if the name expired and there a bunch of links to other stuff there. like the domain name...
How does one get ahold of Bruce Weber to ask? Any contact info for him?

Hi,
Does any one know if these "Monroe" models had any construction differences or features which give them sonic traits different from the ferns or any other gibson model from that era ('91-'94?). ...
so what is the name of the tune played in the video of post #8?
thanks, bruce

hi,
just to confuse the discussion, here is a shot from august of this year at the milan, mi BG festival. mando is none of the above mentioned ones, although i think she also used the smith creek...

hey there,
i'm looking at the KM184 which a number of people have raved about in various threads. i've seem some comments elsewhere talking about hating the upper frequency rise, how some like the...
a comment from my use of the pickups:
i have the K&K pickups in an '37 epi spartan archtop (walnut, whatta vibrant instrument!) and in a fine custom, small builder mando. epi has them glued in,...
well well well! i have been trying to get ahold of this seller for the exact same listing - in the battle creek, michigan CL ads. has the exact same text, linda campbell in the reply i finally got,...
