GUEST,Bluesman James	The New Gibson Acoustics (6)	The New Gibson Acoustics	24 May 09
Has anyone played or tried the new or recent Gibson Acoustics? My other guitarist had one and recently got rid of it I tried it and it was horrible. They (Gibson) had the audacity to charge $1,000 for it. Being based in the Blues, I remember the J50 (or was it 45) that Sam Lightn' Hopkins played. My friend (the late Rick Altman had a J50 that was an absolute gem; sparkling treble resonant bass it was a dream guitar. Danny Kalb (Blues Project and soloist) uses an old SJ200 from the 50's the resonated. You can do those great Merle Travis slides and Lightn's Hopkins fast treble runs - What wonderful instruments What happened to Gibson?
