Topic: Bankrupt????? (7 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hi all, Did you all read or hear the news about Gibson Guitars yesterday? I sure hope the restructuring works as there are a lot of people depending on Gibson for their employment. The company has been around since 1894 and folks, ..... that's a lot of guitars! You know, I was thinking, if we all went and bought one,..... they are an icon ya know......., an American icon...., and I'm not saying buy 2 or 3, just 1,......., is it time to shut up yet?........., LOL...., Your friend, Trevor Calhoun.
P.S. I really hope things work out well for them.

Hi all, its been a few weeks now since I restrung both guitars, the Gibson and the Sigma with the bronze 80/20 strings and I gotta tell ya,....... I am pleased as punch! That's the sound! Deep, loud and full bodied even out of the 00018 Sigma. And something else that makes me resonate right down to the bones, is all your care and wishes for my health and for that.....thank you, each and every one of you. This is a special place to come and read and learn and follow along with all of you who post here.

Thanks for the responses and the advice on the strings. The elixirs have been my strings for at least ten years now and with this change coming up, by that I mean strings, I am considering on putting Gibson 80/20 bronze back on as these were original equipment when I purchased the guitar. I liked the sound, I liked the sustain, and I certainly liked the highs and lows. I have always liked the elixir strings but for some reason or another, they are not doing what they should on this guitar. Why...I cannot answer that but maybe it has to do with a whole different type of guitar that I have never had before. Sounds laughable when I put it down in writing, but... all my other guitars have never cost over a thousand dollars each and the expensive strings from elixir have definitely improved their sound. Maybe someone else could weigh in on this. Watch for pictures coming up shortly. Your friend, Trevor Calhoun.

Evening everybody, here it is near 7 pm on Thursday night of February 8th 2018, and I thought I would let you all know how much I am enjoying my Gibson guitar. I am just about ready to put the third set of strings on, which I will do tomorrow. I guess that tells ya something, don’t it! What a player, and what sound! And it’s so light! If I knew how to post pictures I would so I will ask my wife to give me a crash course and I will try to post some. I just wanted to let you all know I was enjoying the guitar to the fullest and to say hello! Your friendTrevor Calhoun.

Re: The perfect campfire guitar (49 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I have the perfect campfire guitar, it is my Sigma 0018 which is the 12 fret guitar with some really good sound. I bought this about two years ago for around the $500.00 area and it's been a good player for me. Price is right, not concerned about taking it outside, and it's a good travelling companion.

Well...thank you all for responding and thank you all for your best wishes and hopes for the future. Every day is a blessing and will not be wasted. So.....I did it..I bought myself a new guitar. My wife and I traveled north to see our oldest granddaughter who has just just become a registered nurse, and I brought my guitar fund with me(don't leave home without it) and decided to visit Music Pro while I was there and ...lo and behold.... a Gibson J45. Brand spanking new,.....shinning,sparkling,bellowing in the corner with.....now get this........my name on it! So....here I am at 5.15am on Friday morning typing on a iPod in motel waiting for my wife to wake up so I can play this wonderful guitar again. Sheesh....I can,t understand why she can,t smell the coffee???? Your friend Trevor Calhoun.

Topic: The time is right! (27 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Hi all, I have been hanging around here, quietly, for a long time, reading posts, listening to music, learning new old songs, laughing with you all and even shedding a tear or two at heartbreaking news. I have been playing an assortment of guitars, acoustic and electric, a mandolin and a banjo that I bought at a flea market. But....Right now I have a chance to buy a Gibson J45 standard, new, which here in Ontario Canada is $2899.00 before taxes. This will be the last guitar that I ever purchase as I have been diagnosed with an incurable lung disease and Doc says I got about 3 maybe 5 years left. In the past whenever I purchased a new guitar my children or grandchildren have got the old one .I have 3 children and 7 grandchildren and so far everybody has a guitar. That's a lot of guitars. Mind you, they have never been Martins or Gibsons or Taylors but they have been good players and they always sound good. So....I have played the J45 Guitar Center and other expensive Martins and Taylors but I found that the Gibson had the right sound for me and was and would have been at the time, my choice had I been able to afford it. My wife, bless her heart, says, do this Trev and enjoy it while you still can. So... there ya have it, my very first Gibson, and while I was writing this I fully confirmed in my mind that I will purchase a J45 this week. I was going to ask what experience any of you might have with the J45 .....and yes...I still will, so just let me know what you all think. Thanks for your time and patience today. Your friend Trevor Calhoun.

Thanks for the heads up on this one, as I am a huge Beatles fan since 1964 when I first saw them on Ed Sullivan. For me, They are the greatest band That has ever been, so far! I will watch for this, thanks.
