    New guitar weekend (x2).

    I went to look at some guitars last weekend. I have been interested in picking up an older guitar and was also looking for a dobro for my son (who has been living in China for the past year). I attended a local guitar show in February and long story short, last weekend, I visited with one of the dealers from the show (who in addition to having an awesome Martin collection, had some nice older guitars and a Dobro for sale).  I ended up coming home with a 1933 Gibson L-OO and a mid-1970s Dobro.

    The L-OO has had some work done to it (neck reset, bridge and pick guard replaced). It is the lightest guitar I have ever played and it is pretty loud for its size. I don't know if you can see it (second photo) -  it has a cantilevered fretboard. I thought McPherson invented that concept - but apparently, Gibson was making cantilevered fretboards in the 1930s. Greg Voros told me that L-OOs with elevated fretboards are pretty rare.

    The Dobro will be a nice surprise for my son when he comes home this summer (I am counting on the fact that he doesn't read this forum). :)

    By the way, the Dobro is about 10 times heavier than the Gibson.

    I think you show wear it and post a picture @Dave White, you know the rules, if there isn't a recording or a picture it didn't happen.

     

     

    Sadly, it is a bit on the small side for me now. Anyway, I have never been a guy that looked good in fringe. :)

    Thanks Dave. Very helpful. I also like that unlike StewMac and Grizzly - these guys were smart enough to assemble sets of files that correspond exactly to the typical string sizes in common string sets. I requested a quote and delivery timing.

    @BluzCruz - Happy to hear you found what you needed. I have always found JAPARTS great to work with.
