As a recent inductee into this club, I'm curious to hear what folks think about theirs... I'm REALLY knocked-out about this guitar's tone/volume.

I really can't believe I'm so taken with this guitar, narrow neck, shameful pickguard shadow and all. It's like a coiled watch spring, loosed from it's chaste case confinement, the moment you touch a string- POING!!!!

The Action on my Josh White is unbelievable! It is the easiest playing guitar I have ever played. I was surprised to hear my own echo from the bowl while talking to my wife, talk about genius design. Hats off brother! http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee269/ElevatorMD/JW2.jpg Bluebird Posted 2008-02-27 10:45 PM (#52761 - in reply to #52754) Subject: Re: Shiny Bowl Praise Joined: May 2002 Posts: 1445 Location: Nova Scotia, Canada I love my '68 Glen and '67 Josh. Both are super instruments. I can only wonder what these would have sounded like by now if they had've had laquer finishes instead of poly. Jeff W.
