acoustic spam?

[murphj1]

i wondering if you guys ever have a spam thread? is there a good place to go to try to sell/trade an acoustic guitar?

i have a martin d35

i'd like to trade/buy a gibson i'm thinking j-45.

 

any advise

Well, should get a little attention here. Yea, there's a gear/sale forum on the main page. There's also other sites like Larriveeforum.com with a gear/sale area. Bought a guitar from there myself.

 

You must be stoked on that Gibson because that D-35 is no slouch of a guitar.

I like the idea of a monthly spam thread like they have on the electric forum, but the mods don't come around all that frequently. We used to have a spam thread but it was getting really long so we basically requested that it be deleted. Feel free to spam away. If there's any interest it should keep afloat.

 

I'd also advise that you post your SPAM on the UMGF. You will probably get more interest over there.

no complaints on the martin, i guess i have unusual taste in acoustic guitar tone. i loved gibsons since when i bought my first guitar. everyone always talked me out of it. i've been through blueridge, garrison, taylor, and martin. and i still love 95% of the gibson acoustics i've played. this time i'm going with my gut.

I agree with Neil - here is the UMGF buy and sell

The other advice I would give, regardless of where you list it is to take some pictures showing the neck angle, bridge and saddle, and action height (particularly if it is an older guitar). That will tell a prospective buyer where it stands relative to expensive work. If you are the original owner and it is needing neck work have it done first under warranty, then advertise it as "just had neck rest, action is blah, blah, blah..." Obviously if it is brand new this is a moot point - but on an older git it is a big deal.

 

The other advice would be to include a pic of the back if it is particularly nice - that is the selling point on a lot of D-35's. And of course if it is an old one (Braz) sit back and watch the bidding war begin.

Find an older slope shouldered J-45 and play it for a while. The shorter scale, mahogany side and back will make it sound much different than your D 35.

I've always loved Gibsons since my 1st guitar (in the '60's)was a LG-1. The newer Gibsons can't compare to a vintage one.

good luck

Ive had a few Gibson Acoustics over the years , thou i thought they were decent - they didnt quite have the tone or volume i like - thou my Greven DXN Jumbo White Lady -is basically a Gibson jumbo on steroids -but i have to be in the right mood to appreciate it -- i guess im more of a Martin person than a Gibson person , but i hate classifing people that way , maybe i should look at gibson again , might be a nice change.( Am tempted to try a hummingbird )
