Maybe I should start appreciating my own PM120 more?? :) It's usually the one I reach for as it is comfortable as hell .. But never liked the 3 knob controls and find that while it sounds fine...

...and in fact a lot less like the chambered Duo Jet.

Julian Lage's new Collings (Gretsch Duo Jet copy)

Excellent info!!! So it is in fact ALOT like a Gretsch with trestle braces. Actually, it's more like the Gretsch ML braces... Except it's one huge brace, wider than the pickups, as opposed to 2...

At NAMM 2020, two Gibson reps independently told me it's just a matter of time when the 175 is in production again. Little did they know. But hey, there's never been as many, as knowledgeable and as...

The Customer base is simply not there anymore. Nobody is interested .. The Chicago Music Exchange sale was really the end. Congrats to those of you that picked up those 2-3k '59ri ES175s and what not...

RIP Gibson Archtop guitar

I think there's more to it than that. Building an L5 is a high skill project. It requires that they maintain a very exclusive group of builders and an appropriate shop. That's a hard thing to do...

Carved archtops may be off the table, but JC says they have a revamped Nashville ES line in the works. I don’t know what models are in the pipeline though. [emoji1696]

Well right now my listed of wanted guitars become an L5c or Super 400c.

Those at Dave’s are new so I stand corrected. They are trickling in standard L5 models still. CME told me they are not taking in new orders at this time on any archtops but this may just be a...

RIP Gibson Archtop guitar

Here's the story: I've always wanted a Harmony H62, love the look of it, love that it's a solid top, the scale (25"), also that it has a "working man/regular dude" vibe to it since it's relatively...

In love with my Harmony H62, except when plugged in, need advice

So the Ibanez 2021 catalogue is out - some new jazz boxes but, alas, no sign of the CC model (at least not in the UK)

When will the Ibanez PM Slaman appear?

Quietly dreaming of a Japanese maker doing just that - on strict condition that they use nitro. An 'Ibanez' L5 - a proper L5 - for a reasonable price would jump straight to the top of my list ...

This is really sad news

RIP Gibson Archtop guitar

I am sad for sure but it certainly will up the price of Gibson Archtops in the future. Somewhere in my world someone needs to keep the tradition going. What I mean by that is that some company figure...
