Members Jkater Posted February 19, 2008 Members Share Posted February 19, 2008 What I tried, and it worked, is I clicked on "quote" of the first post and put the url address (without the "IMG's") of the pics in the field for internet addresses.

Members csm Posted February 19, 2008 Members Share Posted February 19, 2008 So did I ... And now the pics are quite happily and dutifully appearing on the page. Weirrrrrrrrrrrd. EDIT: And they were still there when I just returned. Maybe my browser (Safari running on a Mac) needed to be 'told' where to find 'em. Gorgeous guitar, by the way. I very rarely suffer from Gibson GAS, but in this case I'm making an exception. I am psychotically and insanely jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burningleaves Posted February 19, 2008 Members Share Posted February 19, 2008 Cool guitar...Play some "Jimi" on it. Maybe not exactly the same model specs but that's "ok". Close enough. [YOUTUBE]4vn3zBt12PY[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jaxn slim Posted February 19, 2008 Members Share Posted February 19, 2008 I played a new reproduction of that one at the Gibson Showcase here in Nashville, and it was AMAZING. I'm so jealous. Too bad you're not going to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hrcnsfan Posted February 19, 2008 Members Share Posted February 19, 2008 It was made to be played.........JMHO Beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leftyjay Posted February 19, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2008 If you aren't going to be playing it why did you buy it? i have 18 gigging guitars. a bunch of those are $2-3k. those are my playing guitars. this guitar is a piece of history and playing it will only degrade it. maybe back in the 1980s, when the guitar was 20 years old, i could see playing it. but this guitar is highly collectible. keeping it in this prestine condition is only possible if you dont play it. JMHO and thats all that counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
