@RJVB “In this case the guitar is relatively subdued in the kitsch department” Ha! Touche’
This is my beloved ES-330L. The neck meets the body at the 19th fret instead of the 15th as with a traditional ES-330. Basically a fully hollow ES-335 with P90's.
Wow, that beauty goes way back - back to the days when quilted maple of that quality was much easier to get than it is now. At that time, the Special peghead inlay was not engraved - rather, the...
That isn’t a modified instrument,it’s an butchered instrument. It is a Gibson Johnny Smith in name only now. Shame.
In this case the guitar is relatively subdued in the kitsch department shreddin'shreddin'shreddin' (With this one we're getting close to what I call edel kitsch though - but not so much I...

I meant no harm or competition about "who invented" the solid body. Just pointing to the fact that Paul Bigsby led the way in America, not Fender or Gibson. I respect all the different luthiers from...
I was addressing the OP. I have no disagreement with what you posted. But if an individual string is so far out that it needs that much compensation, something is wrong. The easiest thing to try...
It'd be really interesting to see and hear a proper, in-depth comparison of a number of famous US-made archtops with their counterparts from the golden age of German archtop lutherie. IMHO that would...
I put it on when I went to bed last night, but I fell asleep. Have to try again. What I did hear of it, very interesting. I feel like people with either love to hate this one...
Yeah, it was decided that 13 and 14 were part of the line started prior. I like it nice and slow too. Things get too fast and they sound spastic to me.
