I did not put the title... because whenever I played the tune for someone in this kind of arrangement no-one could identify it. They used to say: I think I heard it but cannot figure out))
Not being objectively better (as in demonstrably so with quantitative criteria) doesn't mean they can't be subjectively nicer. It's hard to tell from recordings alone, but most of the early 16" L5s...
I had this happen on a couple of Gibsons. My luthier, who worked at Gibson for many years, said this can happen and it relates to something in the nitro, perhaps the plasticiers. He told me to use...

Thanks for the head up. I saw the offer, too. It took some days until it is now deleted.
It looks like that the new ownership of the platform was no improvement in terms of handling scamers.
There are 3 Campellone guitars on Reverb. If somebody really wants a Campy you buy one of them no question. Then if you still want your own you stay on list a get it. Then if you must part with one...
