I’ve had a custom shop ‘58 VOS reissue 335 which I really wanted to love… but couldn’t. It played like a dream, amazing neck and fretwork. It looked like it was new-old-stock, made in ‘58 and then...
I have played a number of the current 'figured' models (I am guessing 2022/23?). They didn't feel at all cheap to me. To the contrary, I thought that the QC was a step-change improvement compared to...
I agree with your observation : many newer Gibson models felt cheap in my hands and were un-inspiring re the tones I was able to coax out of them. Having been a fan-boy of these ES models ever since...
So sorry you experienced such discrimination. Your story sounds crazy to me because of how severe and ridiculous it is. However, I'm discriminated so I know this is the reality for some people. ...
From the start, the song seems to be ABAC > AB > AB > modulation > AB. Then we’re at two minutes and then it seems to modulate again and I have trouble recognising the pattern.

I've had a couple 355s and have a 335 with a trap tailpiece. I also have had 2 collings i 35lc and an i 30 lc. The gibsons were murphy lab and I far preferred them over the collings in terms of...
My latest is a 2017 and I have no idea what pup of the decade Gibson is putting in those later years but my latest 335 has "Burstbuckers", and I can tell you if what you played has BB's they're...
I did a little bar gig with my PM3C last week, and it really shone. It was my group Tuba Django - vocals, archtop guitar, gypsy guitar, tuba. I used my Princeton Tonemaster, and the other guitarist...
I’ve been trying to think about what things to practice slow and what to work up to speed and I’ve ended up working on scales and bebop heads really really slow (though I don’t work tons on scales...
Ahhh..Ben Monder .. he does hear something very different
https://youtu.be/HujpKF9a8yw?si=tnFgctx0GCyeHngX I stumbled upon Joe Pass talking about it a few nights ago, at around 12:45: “You have a choice. You could either buy a book, clarinet or violin...
