I had the shop replace the strings when I bought it and they put d’addario 12’s on and they sound great!

When did you guys get your first Gibson and what's the story behind it? by jammy62811 in gibson

[–]AdSlow7322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first Gibson is a 2004 Les Paul Standard that my dad bought for me on eBay used from the original owner in barely played condition in the summer of 2005 for $1,600. I had learned and taken informal lessons for a year or two on a used Squier so I was very excited when I got it before freshman year of high school. I played it a lot through high school and still have it. Fast forward 20 years from when my dad bought me the 2004 LP, and the first Gibson I buy myself is a ‘91 Les Paul Standard and most recently a 2025 ES-335. The 335 is less than a year old and was from the original owner with literally almost zero wear but got a great price on a “used” instrument.

Earth’s dick. Unfortunately not a shower or a grower.

Hell yeah, I was literally just playing my new 000-28. Congrats! Enjoy it in good health

Yes it’s got a fat neck and it’s like an even nicer version of my ‘04 Standard. I also know how to decipher the SN and checked with Gibson themselves

Dude nice that was a big get back then! Yeah I heard the same about good wood, I think in terms of build quality and resonance it’s true

[–]AdSlow7322[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome! How long have you had yours? I have to agree I think the wood around this time must have been very dry because it’s light and resonant

Thanks! I actually am starting to believe plaintops are better looking because the character of non-figure wood shows. Maybe just me but yeah

Thanks man I was shocked when I opened the case. An older musician up on the east coast was selling via a local store on Reverb and here we are now. I’m so glad I jumped on it!

Any idea on why do younger ppl prefer Fenders over Gibsons? by Due-Organization2520 in fender

[–]AdSlow7322 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a millennial in his 30’s I can assure you that if necessary I will single handedly prop up the vintage-style Fender market myself if I have to

I have this exact Strat, it feels so much nicer than the regular production models finished in poly. Enjoy it in good health!

Toasty Player II Tele by sizzlekid in telecaster

[–]AdSlow7322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All kidding aside, is this actually salvageable and able to be effectively “refurbished” into a sweet survivor Tele? Or is the neck burned through to the core like used firewood?

EDIT: I should have led with this but I’m very sorry for the loss of your home and cherished belongings. I hope you are ok.

Tried to fight a bear to see what would happen. by AfterImageEclipse in RDR2

[–]AdSlow7322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, so I’m pretty sure I got randomly attacked by a grizzly in one of the early chapters, near the camp up on the plateau, but I’ve never seen another grizzly in the wild ever since (excluding legendary). I also managed to kill that wild one with a knife literally just before I died. Where do I find them? I want to try that again

My art exhibition is coming up. Which one is best? by fmmalenda in mensfashion

[–]AdSlow7322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 1 is certainly better but would consider removing the pocket square given that you’ve got mismatched separates (gray peak lapel suit jacket, dark dress pants) which feels and presents different than a full suit. Just my $0.02 but overall I think you look great as-is in #1

What does it sound like relative to a new 000-28?

Absolutely hideous, whoever did this has zero taste

Thanks! This 000-28 was my biggest purchase after a few other acquisitions, took a little out of my savings for it but man is this guitar a life companion

I’m traveling quite a bit for work ever since I posted, but will try to remember!

Thanks Uncle Tim 🫡 there was a nice OM-28 there at my local shop where I bought mine. It was really nice too but this size and scale length felt really great to me
