Sweet! Congratulations and welcome to the AGF!

John Thomas, author of Kalamazoo Gals hangs out here sometimes. JT1 is his user name. I really enjoyed that book.

Enjoy that banner Gibson. Very nice!

Another 'WOW' day for us vintage geeks! Funny to see John breathing down your neck with his far-reaching great guitar talons. Close call.

Congratulations! Let us know what strings you settle on.

Love it! A real stunner. Enjoy that “cull” in good health! I had a ‘43 LG-2 that still haunts me. The fantastic ones are out there!

Recently, I saw a very interesting 1940-ish LG-3 prototype on the Mandolin Cafe. Did anyone have a chance to catch that one?
