So you [w]rap?

Will last for 1+ year only, but will never ever get out of tune....

There is an L5 that will be remain for virtually forever as far as we're concerned. It's in the point gravitationally equal between the moon and the earth. It's been reliably in tune and tastefully balance since even before I was young. It was there even before anyone invented money so it's way cheaper than even a second hand Gibson with a bad neck break.

You've had one your whole life, it's in your spinal column.
You can't play it, but if you're not careful it'll play you......

And the reselling value?

[Jimmy blue note]

Not exactly an affordable alternative, but if you're really into air guitar, the Stinson L-5 can be your ticket to soaring lines and lots of space
(Shout out to the thread on piston driven airplanes)

And that's the plane truth

[sgosnell]

Yeah, but that Stinson is almost as expensive as a Gibson L5.

Lol thanks everyone

Insightful commentary. Care to elucidate?

No. It's self-evident.

Help me out here guys. I'm a newbie to these kind of things. How does one tell a stupid tortilla from a smart one? I, for one don't think it's so self evident, but tortillas are new to me.

Cool! I guess this thread shows the diversity on this forum.
There's something to be learned from all kinds of people.

Not stupid

That's interesting because, your responses suggest otherwise.

In other words, I replied with my opinion.
You didn't like it.
You tried to call me out.
I don't feel like I can speak freely because YOU don't like it.

Am I getting warm?

If I think something's stupid am I not allowed to say that??? Are we in fourth grade here????

Grow up dude.

I do have an opinion about proper decorum on forum dedicated to something we have in common, a love for jazz guitar and a feeling that we can be comfortable contributing in our own ways.
I think I'm more than accepting of people's differing opinions and I hold that our differing informed opinions are what makes this forum unique and such a valuable destination for jazz guitarists all over the world.

I do value constructive criticisms because they open up conversations and are a catalyst for seeing and knowing things we wouldn't otherwise consider in our own worlds. That's the power of this forum.

This thread was a well intended and whimsical look at something that is iconic in jazz guitar: The Gibson L-5. I thought it was playful and added a humourous twist in this well informed group. I personally welcomed the jokes and comments, some were clever and showed the diversity of interests within this group. It was and is a commentary of the varied personalities of this group. It made me smile.

Yes you're entitled to your opinion. I just don't know why you felt the unquenchable urge to jump into this particular pool and shit in it.
That's an opinion. But to what end are you making this contribution of yours? Do you often jump into threads, post "Stupid", "Still Stupid", tell posters to "grow up" and make no other relevant commentary backing up such a strong opinion? This is the behaviour that one might mistake as trollish behaviour.

Honestly, I'm not saying you're not entitled to your opinion, but all of your posts within this thread have felt belligerent, unnecessarily disruptive and at least in my case, offensive to the spirit of the other posters. I don't see any other constructive contribution.

Maybe it's not within your perception to see my point. Let me just voice my opinion about your posts then: It's a good idea to conduct one's self with some degree of respect in a public forum. That respect says more of one's self than even the content one shares.

Ok, I guess if I can dish it out, I can take it. Bring it on.

But, please don't think for a second that I care about your judgement or analysis of my post.

I think I'm within the guidelines of this forum. If you don't like it, oh well.

And quit bullying people just cuz you didn't like their post.

[mr. beaumont]

Humor is allowed here, it's not like were talking about something serious like jazz.

[Kirk Garrett]

It’s dad humor. It’s supposed to be stupid.

[pawlowski6132]

Yeah, I saw that. I guess some things just get lost in a post. I was smirking when I typed that. I wasn't trying to be cruel. But that Jimmy Blue Note guy just got under my skin so I didn't want to let it go. I'm old enough to know better though. I should have just ignored him. Now I look like an idiot.

I know it's just a silly post.
