Members badpenguin Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 Greetings all, while during a trip down south here in Florida, found these two beauties, and had to have them,First up is a 2013 Gibson ES139. A short lived semi hollow, with Burstbuckers, all maple construction, and NO F holes! really Reminds me of my L6S.[ATTACH=CONFIG]n31964151[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n31964152[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n31964153[/ATTACH] Secondly was this wonderful creature. A Yamaha SLG100S. weighs about a pound soaking wet, has some beautiful reverb built in, and has a neck that plays buttery smooth. And you can always throw on some headphones and go into a quiet acoustic heaven.[ATTACH=CONFIG]n31964154[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n31964155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]n31964156[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted April 23, 2017 Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 Congratulations. Happy New (Used) Guitar Day X 2. I'd never seen an ES139 before. Sweet looking guitar. Does it weigh less than a LP, being semi-hollow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badpenguin Posted April 23, 2017 Author Members Share Posted April 23, 2017 There's a little weight, but MUCH less then a Paul. Say in the 7 pound range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gardo Posted April 25, 2017 Members Share Posted April 25, 2017 HUGD. That Gibby looks good. Do you notice a difference in tone with a maple neck vs mahogany ? The Yamaha is different.,I don't know what to think of it. I guess one has to play it to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badpenguin Posted April 25, 2017 Author Members Share Posted April 25, 2017 There is a definite difference in tone! I have an 81 Paul Custom with a maple neck, a 78 L6S that is all maple, and now the ES139. IMHO the maple necked Gibbys tend to have a bit more of that sharp attack, a little more bite and brightness. But then again, I have ebony on two of them, so it's hard to say if that's a true way defining the difference between mahogany vrs maple. the Yamaha, is just a joy to play and listen to! Super comfy neck, great sound thru the headphone, and the amps like it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
