Peter Seeger advertising Volvo? - Gibson Brands Forums
Sep 12, 2020 · To be frank, I don't think the staff behind the films offers much energy or awareness on the roots'n'realm of vintage Pete Seeger. This is a modern ad and it plays/plays on the effect of the unexpected and original contrast between the old folk-tune, contemporary family-life challenges and a brand new car.
Why did Gibson stop making dobros and banjos
Oct 22, 2014 · Hey, Why doesn't Gibson make banjos or dobros anymore? Yeah, I know about the flood in nashville in 2006 or something but the mandolin manufacturing was restored so why not the banjos or dobros?
Interested in SG variations - Gibson Brands Forums
Dec 19, 2024 · Note on the photos: yes there are superficial cracks where the jack and 3-way switch are routed out (this is well-used guitar) that was glued back together well; the black scrawl near bridge is Pete Townsend's signature, which he was kind enough to put on my SG with a Sharpie after we met at KLOS FM 95.5 in L.A. about 30 years ago (the a.m ...

Who’s Man or Woman Enough To Try This? - Gibson Brands Forums
Dec 23, 2024 · I tried Pete Townshending the first (and last) acoustic I built. It wasn't easy. In fact, the first slam on a concrete floor hurt my hands. Either I overbuilt it, or my scrawny arms weren't up to the task. Edited December 24, 2024 by gearbasher

50th Anniversary "Signature" Models - Gibson Brands Forums
Jul 23, 2011 · LOVE the '57 classics - not quite as much bite as the 490s, but they are so harmonically rich & balanced sounding, and they flat-out nail the classic/hard rock tones I've been chasing. The Pete T. model looks great too, and if it came in cherry, I'd buy it in a second.

Intonation with a wraparound tailpiece - Gibson Brands Forums
Feb 17, 2012 · I just purchased a 50th anniversary Pete Townsend model SG with a wraparound lightning tailpiece. Could someone tell me how to intonate it. As soon as I get passed the 12th fret, it goes VERY VERY sharp on me, and quite frankly I can't even play it.
Epiphone Dot dimensions - Gibson Brands Forums
Sep 16, 2010 · What Pete said... And then make sure it really, really fits. I bought a TKL case at GC for my Casino that they promised would fit. I didn't bring the Casino with me, so I took their word for it. I got it home and it did fit around the edges and the case closed nicely. However, I noticed that the body of the guitar was not supported underneath it.
