Looks like an ES-175 to me. Headstock, tuning machines, inlays. The video is too mushy to determine if there are nibs at fret ends. (Gone after a refret anyway, I suppose.)

That's interesting ! It looks or sounds like ?

If they spelled it right it would be more painful. Originally Posted by nevershouldhavesoldit

Could also be an Epiphone ES-175...

Gracias por enseñarme el español. Mi tía se llama Dolores y la llamamos Lola o Lolita. Originally Posted by nevershouldhavesoldit
Delores... No me suena.

Sorry for the brain fart - I do know that. From the Latin (which I studied for 4 years in high school and 2 in college), it’s one of the four cardinal signs of inflammation: rubor, dolor, calor, and tumor. Originally Posted by ThatRhythmMan

We never suffered any effects of long distance travel before, but my wife and I are both wiped out after this trip. Maybe we’re not as young as we used to be……

No one is as young as they used to be. Time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana.
Either way, it's a one-way street as far as we can tell. But I know what you mean. My mind tells me I'm still young, but my body constantly reminds me that I'm not. I get tired of its nagging.

Personally I'm happy to know that some people know how a Gibson ES-175 looks like and sounds.

And along those lines, I have to admit that I have another distraction at the moment. Some hot coffee spilled on my left hand last Thursday morning as I carried it up to our hotel room on a tray. It looks like this today - Originally Posted by sgosnell

It's not as bad as it looks, but it's more than a little unpleasant. I got through the gig last night with little discomfort, and it looks like there's no full thickness skin loss so it shoudn't scar. But it's clear that we have to pay more attention to the little things as we age. I was just lucky that it wasn't a few degrees hotter and that I could get my hand under running cold water as fast as I did. I'll never treat two large cups of coffee (or any other potential hazard to my health, function, and pleasure) with reckless abandon again. I'm surprised at how much this has upset me.
So as they say in Greek (or Latin or whatever), take care of what you have. Name that guitar, grill that fish, and do whatever else pleases you - but be careful!!

What an unpleasant injury. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

That's an impressive picture !
Since you've got an "Irish" skin that should be painful.
When I was sixteen I fell asleep on the sofa with a very hot cup of tea between my legs, when the cup had been unbalanced some tea came to touch my main tool, believe me, I stood up very quickly.
By chance we were in winter, if we had been in summer, I'd probably be in a wheel chair today.
No... Impossible, at that age, I was so ashamed of my skinny legs that I only weared large jeans even in the summertime.

No ! You were wearing a watch ! What a nightmare ! You don't know what time is now, you don't wear it anymore.
I hope you'll recover soon.

You're not planning to sue the hotel because the coffee was so hot?
