Your image has to be fairly small e.g. <1MB. Most images are much larger so you may need to resize. I do this in the Windows "Picture Viewer" app on my laptop. Or, sometimes, my point and shoot camera software. There are online app's to also resize an image.

If you are on a smartphone, folks use the Tapatalk app I believe.

I dont find "manage attachments" anywhere. If I click the "insert image" it wants me to find a "url"

1968 Country Western. None of the marks are from me, but there aren't many dings anyway.

I just got my first J-45 ever. Do I necessarily need to abuse it?

It ain’t required. But most Gibson guys and gals wear big belt buckles. We also tend to strum right hard. And sometimes pieces of the beer bottles get through the chicken wire around the stages at the bars we play at.

You Martin folk tend to hang with a different crowd.

Jim Owen for the win.

Great thread by the way.

My two main gig guitars were a J45 and a D35. They were brought out at decidedly different types of establishments.

That gave me a good chuckle! I needed one too. Thanks!

Nice Gibsons folks.

Btw. I just sold two Martins today. Reason. I bought a 46 D-18 Pretty cool piece.
As for Gibsons I have plenty 30s 40s 50s Models. A couple teens and twenties as well. There cool in all there own ways.

1969 LG-0 part way through the repairs I've been doing on it. It was well loved, and then well forgotten in the many years before I got it.

I think only charter members can upload images to AGF.

The easiest way I have found to share images is to upload to Imgur then insert image.

No AJ’s? To the Gibson lovers, was/is the AJ model a popular Gibson guitar or is it simply the J45 and other others were more popular?

Everyone has seen my 1937 Gibson L-0?

It is a bit 'customised'!




I am waiting for my 1952 Gibson LG1 to get some repairs at the moment - it has been gone a while and I am glad I didn't hold my breath. They are starting to be worth something so I thought to get it fixed up and at least more playable....

So here is a 'before' photo:
