I have not looked at the internals of...Nice review. I have not looked at the internals of any new Gibson acoustics, but can tell you that generally speaking the wood selection, overall workmanship, and setup are on a level not seen in that brand since the 1950s. Bozeman is a *very* different shop than Nashville. Interesting that they went for the old dovetail joint here. They've been using a mechanical joint much like that of Taylor for a few years now.<br /><br />If you were to look inside some of the Gibsons I've seen from the 1920s through the early 80s, you'd find consistent inconsistency. Punky, off-quarter bracewood,<br />glue smears, oddly matched and sometimes crudely cut scalloping. Sometimes wobbly grained tops under that sunburst.<br />My 1973 J-30 has patched nail holes in the neck shaft laminates. It probably came from a recycled crate.<br /><br />I am curious to hear what you think of this guitar after you've had it for a while. Please do post a 6-month review!<br /><br />Corey Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15381826721030941179noreply@blogger.com
