Don't know if any of y'all would be interested in a SUPERB sounding acoustic but... 1974 Gibson J-200 - one of the top 3 acoustics I've ever played (and I will gladly paint "electra" on the headstock for you LOL) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :MESELX:IT All best to everyone, drdave

She is indeed "stunning". I always wanted one of these style acoustics....but in a JAP copy, like Ibanez or Alvarez. When someone has stuck GIBSON on there...I tend to pucker up in dark places.

The nicest MIJ in this style I've had was a Ventura -- I've had some good martin style ones, too - Alvarez-Yairi (my personal acoustic is an A-Y DY-46), Ventura, Daion (Yamaki) There's just some kind of magic in the older Gibsons and Martins, though !! I guess part of it is solid rather than laminated backs and sides !!

Very nice acoustic indeed. Lots of craftsmanship there. Would be nice to have one but I don't see it in my future just because of the economics of it. I will stick to my Japanese models for now.Thanks for letting us see her as she is a beauty.
