[Slowhand] guitars

[wdeli at aol.com]

just because they played them does not mean they liked them,have you ever asked?









Here is an exact quote from?George Gruhn's Book? "Gruhn's 
    Guide to Vintage Guitars"

    
?

    
Flat tops from the 70's are considered to be 
    mediocre by consensus of players, collectors, and even the Gibson 
    company.? Workmanship on flat tops of that period was at a low point, 
    and the double X bracing pattern used at that time was detrimental to tone 
    production.

P 105
the guy is talking about a lot of the Gibson acoustics made in the 60's 
that those guys used.? They were ok guitars..


?


The 70's models are most notorious for needing neck resets ( an expensive 
repair made necessary to be even able to play the guitars).? They are not 
worth much is the resale or vintage market, and probably never will be except 
for antique value.?

Not trying to be unkind, just factual.
