For me they have a nice bitey tone with tons of clarity whether you are distorted or clean. Of all the Gibson pups I have tried, for me the Tim Shaw era pups are by far the best for what I do. See the below video when I first received my Pro Tools Recording program and I recorded a little guitar lick using my VOX AC50 and my 1980 Les Paul Custom.

However, this guitar is crack free and has the beautiful belly down Brazilian SJ bridge and plays better than any modern Gibson I have owned. HOWEVER, it was completely stripped other than the headstock face and refinished in natural in the 70s. 2 Martin style pickguards were added and electronics similar to the J160E were also installed.
In fact, the translation of the listing says, "This is the 12th fret specification model of Gibson Acoustic's super standard model. The 12th fret joint changes the position of the sound hole and bridge, producing a richer sound.
Earjy on Gibson made their own high-quality laminate. But once you get into the 1960s, they began outsourcing wood for instruments others than those built in the Custom Dept. on the third floor of the Daylight Plant so who knows.
As for the Brazilian rosewood question, my friend Willi Henkes, of Blazer and Henkes Guitars, has sent tiny bits of vintage Gibson rosewood to university chemistry departments (one in Germany and one in the US) for testing. Gibson switched in the mid-1930s from using Brazilian to Indian rosewood for backs and sides.
Hi. I have an opportunity to purchase a WM45. It's a 2014. Condition is excellent. It plays well, no buzzing, no scratches, cracks, dings etc. The owner says it is a custom WM45 claiming it has an ebony fretboard, and is mahogany as opposed to walnut. From my research, they are all mahogany with ...
I purchased one of the new Epiphone Inspired By Gibson Hummingbird guitars in the less popular Aged Natural finish. The construction and feel of the guitar is fantastic. I love it's playability, the feel of the neck, and it's tone. But what's bugging me is the mismatched spruce top.
In 60+ years my second favorite Gibson slope shoulder Jumbo was a 1956 Southerner Jumbo. It is the only Gibson I let go of which still haunts me. But back in the day I had to trade something in to snag something else. In this case it was a 1946 LG2. That in turn went for a 1957 CF-100 which eventually landed me a 1932 12 fret L1.
But as noted guitars built that year also sported hollow plastic bridges. I cannot tell what is there from the photo. Then again, Gibson did not change specs at the stroke of midnight on Jan. 1. And Gibson being Gibson, instruments built either early or late in the year could sport a combination of features. Edited September 23 by zombywoof
