I can't believe I am selling this guitar. I guess the "death do us part" pledge I took when I first opened the case was really only a 6 month commitment. As I told her this morning, "It's not you. It's me." She agreed that it is me, and wants to move on to a better musician any way.

Wow! That's a great guitar. And although I thought that was your keeper, you recently said that the BR-240A would be the one you'd hold onto. Good luck with the sale!

My Collings dread is my lifetime guitar. I'll never sell the BR because I couldn't replace it for what I have into it, and it plays like buttah! Sadly, this beastly Gibson needs to find a new home.

I played DuluthDan’s and was smitten.
If I were in a better place we would talk. Best of luck.

That is really outstanding. And considering what a new j-45 costs, someone will get a custom Gibson at a good price.
Good luck

Sal, this one belonged to "Magic Twanger". He sold off all his guitars last spring. These Fuller's are beyond the standard Gibsons. It sounds as good as the Kopp's I have played.

Coincidentally, I revisited that video the other day and came away thinking - good mics are really important! I've never played a Fuller's Gibson, but have been fortunate enough to lay hands on many other Gibson custom models, not to mention great standards too, and they ALL sounded worlds better! And these Fuller's are a cut above. So we're left to imagine just how great this J-35 is. Knowing our Keith, it's fabulous. And I don't think he'd let it go unless some other pretty thing turned his head (am I hinting at tales out of school here; what's the policy on that?).
The long and short of it is, I hope somebody buys it before I do something stupid.

Boy is it a small tight knit EGF community. How many EGF members does this ad on AGF for an E10OM-TC touch?

I'd like it to touch at least one more.
Where are my manners? Two more.

When he gets a little lower, I might have to take a drive into the Bay Area.
(Edit: unless your point went over my head, and you're connecting all the dots with your post. I'm multi-tasking at work, so this is definitely possible!)
