Joshua asked:


I know Les Paul’s always have what they call “medium jumbo”, but I don’t know if Gibson used a smaller fret size similar to what Fenders used on their guitars in the 50′s. I’ve never been able to see or feel a real Gibson ES-150 or a vintage L-5. I think the newer L-5 models and ES-175 have frets similar to a current Les Paul.

I have a grill, headlight rings, hood and both front fenders to a 1940 Ford sedan. They are original, and in fair condition.

Cornporto asked:

I generally prefer the vintage stuff and have a collection of vintage gibson and Fenders, but I need a decent hollowbody. With a Gretsch, I’d need to get a pre 1970s model (before the company went in the crapper for a decade or two) or a late 90s and beyond Japanese made model. Obviously I dig the vintage models, but worry about the playability of the older Gretsch. The new stuff – the Setzer, Horton Heat, and Nashville models are wicked cool, but made in Japan and may not have the resale value or mojo of a vintage model but will likely be more refined and easier to play. Any insight, thoughts or comments?
