[QUOTE="Revvv, post: 16214857, member: 189537"] You will find some good, and some bad Gibsons. I have a Gibson ES335 that my daughter keeps in her room and plays. I have a twin of that guitar made by Epiphone. I prefer the Epiphone over the Gibson. Every guitar is different. Wood has properties that affect everything in regard to resonance. Acoustic guitars are where things get tricky. With an electric one can modify the electronics easily to attain the tone desired. With an acoustic, you are limited. I'm a Breedlove, Martin, and Taylor fan. I have also played a few others that sounded great. I have a Yamaha acoustic that is 25 years old. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a new Gibson today. They have been in business a long time, and they know what they are doing. Just remember that every type of music has a tone characteristic. A Les Paul is just as versatile as a Fender Strat. As has been said, play the guitar and find out what feels and sounds good to you. Don't overlook G&L, Gretch, and other gems. [USER=6069]@Outlaw99[/USER] give Shubb capos a try. They can be set to put a very light tension on the strings. They also last forever. Sent from my [mind] using the [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=92568]svtperformance.com mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
