Brazilian or not, it’s simply gorgeous - Enjoy!

Ah, that shows how little I follow the game today, or pay attention in general. Even after his name was mentioned above, I hadn’t noticed that Joe Davis (who I’d never before heard of) was one of the Fox announcers. Yes indeed, he would be expected to be reasonably neutral on a national...

Yes, I surely do agree. I grew up listening to Scully on the radio, so I know I was totally spoiled, as he so vividly created the visual life & breath of the game in your mind. When Jerry Doggett would do a few innings to give him a break, the game would sort of die, but then Vin would come...

Ranks right up there with the best ever for drama, twists, & turns. But just to add to your list of complaints about Fox’s coverage, I gotta say, that was perhaps the worst pair of milk-toasty announcers I’ve ever heard! Sure do miss Vin Scully.

Grew up in the LA area, bleeding Dodger blue. Started following them during their 1959 World Series win over the White Sox, through the Koufax years, and beyond. As a kid, read everything I could find about Jackie Robinson & the Brooklyn years. Have to say, their history significantly shaped...

That looks like it might be from the initial release of this model from around 2004. The early Epi Masterbilt series was well received, just like the first generation of the Guild Acoustic Design series - both made in China, with solid tonewoods.

Just looks like exactly what it is - purposefully trashed.

A couple of comfy smaller bodies are out today:

That seems like a reasonable price for a pre ‘72 in good condition & no immediate repair issues. A fair number of D-35s were produced, so there should be a wide range of prices out there - but a lot of them would probably have been played hard & put away wet. Additionally, with GC, the OP was...

Never owned an Oxnard. Does it have a dual adjusting truss rod? I’ve only owned one guitar that did & it’s gone, but if I recall correctly, it felt slack when it hit the zeroed-out point, and then you could continue counter-clockwise to add relief.

Just Beautiful - Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy!

Wonderful - and there seems to be something magical about that price. I’ve scored a number of stellar GC deals for the same amount, including most recently, a very clean ‘74 F-47 (listed with incorrect model & date). Lots of fun when their lack of knowledge works out in your favor - Congrats &...

Back in the day, I owned quite a few - my favorite being this unusual 1948 Gibson L-48 with a pressed solid mahogany top, solid mahogany back & sides, and a braced flat back (you can see the braces through the F-holes). And after not having had one in the house for a long time, I quickly...

Playability is my #1 criteria, even before tone. If the tone is glorious but I don’t enjoy playing it, there’s no reason to own it. So the overall neck profile is my starting point, and any of the factories would be a possibility for consideration. That said, there‘s a ‘70s profile I’m most...

That’s a sweet pair of F20s - Congrat & Enjoy!

That’s a beauty, and very interesting re the black binding - Congrats!

Always ideal when you can get it in your hands to play - Good Luck!

Maple flat-backs are frequently right up my fingerpicking alley, with four different body configurations to choose from here in the house. I’m guessing your D-44 will provide a uniquely fun change of pace - Congrats & Enjoy!

Actually, it’s a Gibson, or Gibson-clone TRC! 🫨

Nice score! I’ve always found the tuning fork headstock logo to be one of the classiest ever when displayed by itself ( without the Yamaha name underneath). Took me a while to figure it out back in the ‘60s, when I first saw it on their motorcycles & thought it was so aesthetically pleasing.
