1. OK, just one more question ( just like Lt. Columbo) does the Brazilian board feel different from a Indian board ? I know I played Brazilian board vintage Fenders in the 90's ,I just can't remember .
It feels good... Again, I don't know if the feel can be attributed to this particular species of rosewood, or simply the overall build quality of the guitar...
- It truly is an extraordinary instrument, as a whole, if that makes any sense...
- I agree.The build quality is very high. It truly is an extraordinary instrument.
- Add me to the 2017 Braz list. This one has a nice non-streaky dark fretboard, along with a more subdued sunburst color. I have not bought an LP in a number of years, but the quality seems as good as ever.
- My friend, Steve, actually played # 98023: He replied – “I played this beauty today, amazing!!! Spanky, clear, articulate and gobs of sustain. BTW, the pics don't do it justice."
- Thank you! the guitar is so good. I can’t really get over it. my comparisons are a cc 15, a 2003 R7, and a 2003 honeyburst ....this one really blows them all away. I really feel like Im GOOD now... (I guess we will see how long that lasts) is there anything to this Hide glue thing? Guitar seems so resonant and alive in my hands. Has anyone else experienced that as well (the aliveness- the resonance with hide glue vs older guitars.) I”m keeping it stock too.... it sounds so good as is... don’t see a need to monkey w the pups or the harness
- The build quality is so thru the roof good the past 4-5 years and this is really a great time for quality from Gibson Custom esp. now with the use of the magical mystical and most awesome use of the Brazilian timbre Enjoy that wonderful instrument ( I also believe in the hot hide glue and the condom less unsheathed truss rod ).
