«  The guitar of a lifetime ... »

Published on 11/06/12 at 16:13
Electro-acoustic guitar Type jumbo. It's been almost 10 years that I have so I do not lie, I do not remember the wood used. The guitar is equipped with the famous bridge "Moustache" dear to Gibson. There is no preamp: It's a choice assumed. Gibson acoustic sound is something, therefore the rot with a Fishman or another, we leave that to Takamine and Yamaha. I used a personal urge Blue tube. The guitar comes with Case and mechanical lubrication is a manual ...

UTILIZATION

When purchasing this guitar was an action worthy of a piano keys which made the game very difficult. After adjusting nut and sanding ... This became a shoe. The frets are very thin and are hardly noticeable to the touch.
The highs are hard to reach, but this guitar is made for anyway rather large rock chords. It is very powerful and is the ideal complement to a dreadnought in a group.
The body itself is a real cello. Deep, broad, difficult to carry around on your back.

SOUNDS

The sound of a Gibson acoustic is something. This is THE sound of clapping and black American blues.
It is versatile but has a strong personality and an identity recognizable sound.
It is attractive and it is the guitar of a lifetime.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is the quality of the defaults. The relationship you have with her is strong. This is not a great guitar in the technical sense of the term but a great feeling guitar sense. If you are lucky enough to find one you will understand because it is no longer manufactured then collector
Most:
Sound
The feeling
Power
The fineness
This is a Gibson

Less
Heavy and bulky
Difficult to set
Requires a good level to be able to blackmail
Cellulose varnish (varnish that this vintage patina over time but very fragile)
Sensitive to moisture
Very vintage design.

Judge and rate this guitar is almost impossible because it is a work of art, starting from the is subjective. I have put over 10 because to me it is unique. It's almost like in a relationship: Have someone chosen for its quality and for its rest with defaults ... I put a picture in "media" as the photo above is false.
