    Pau Ferro boards on Historics

    Pau Ferro doesn’t belong on a reissue - it’s usually used for lower end guitars. It should be heavily discounted or avoided (as you’ll eat the cost down the road)

    So how many are planning on buying a 60th anniversary model?

    Maybe my expectations wre high, but there's barely any NGD threads for the 60th anniversaries :hmm Based on what I've seen so far, they should be more popular, yes?

    Center burst is too dark for a True Historic?

    I have this magnificent Murphy Aged 59 True Historic - rings like a bell and resonates like no other....but I'm wondering how come the center burst seems to be much darker than any guitar I've seen... Looks to me like at one point Gibson were using a darker center burst (end of 2015 and...

    Why I love my True Historics....belated NGD with continued honeymoon phase

    So all in all I owned about 9 different reissues of 1959s and also 2 of 1958s It used to be that my preferred year of construction was 2014 as they are amazing in tone, feel. look. When the 2015 series came out I was the first to scoff at them, obviously because of the price but also the...
