Guest HRB853370 Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 I was giving her some lovin tonite (after she sat lonely in her case since before we moved to SC). She really responded well to my touch, my feel, and my fingers. In fact, her top was vibrating quite nicely once I warmed her up. Her bottom was deep and resonating and the more I played with her, the more she moaned. I need to quit ignoring this lovely lady and pay more attention to her beauty.

DetroitBlues Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Didnt know you had this one.... Wonder how many others have a collection of neglected guitars? I know I have none...
Guest HRB853370 Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Didnt know you had this one.... Wonder how many others have a collection of neglected guitars? I know I have none... Got this a few months back from Metheny53 at a great price!
Guest HRB853370 Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Didnt know you had this one.... Wonder how many others have a collection of neglected guitars? I know I have none... And I have many surprises you do not know about!
DetroitBlues Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 And I have many surprises you do not know about! I heard about the drum collection....have an accordion collection you want to talk about?
Guest HRB853370 Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 I heard about the drum collection....have an accordion collection you want to talk about? No accordions. I thought about getting one though....
Kuz Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 I didn't know you had a 535 either..... hmmm, you are nailed AGAIN for this mythical 90.9% GAS free Sh!t!!!!
Gitfiddler Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Yessir, 525's can offer up some seriously sensual tones! That's a sweet one, Will. Is she strung with roundwounds or flats?

As a matter of fact, two of them John! Go back and re-read what you typed! I am gonna enroll you in typing classes for Christmas!! I had that 525 BEFORE I became 90.9% gas free, so there!!! Shundog would not part with his; you refused to sell to anybody except Lyle, so I had to go out and get one for myself.

I do need to proof and learn to type more accurately!!!
Gitfiddler Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Tim, its got 12 gauge Elixir Flats on it!! I also think that flats sound best on 525's. They warm up the P90's for wonderful jazz tones. And the tones change rather dramatically depending on your picking position. Amazing instruments.

Me not having any interest in selling my 525 was evidently to your benefit, Will! While I love my 525, looks wise, mine doesn't hold a candle to that beauty! Thanks for the pics.

And the tones change rather dramatically depending on your picking position. Amazing instruments. When I had my 525 I LOVED flat wounds on her as well (yes, I know.... now Will and I have agreed on 3 things this year). But in all seriousness, I REALLY loved flats on my 525, but Lyle hated them. So to each their own, but I think flats are at least worth a try if you are looking for jazz tones or old 50s blues tones.
Keith7940236 Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 That is a real beaut! I've never played one, but it looks like a really comfortable instrument.
koula901 Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 I didn't know you had a 525, Will. Gorgeous!

While I love my 525, looks wise, mine doesn't hold a candle to that beauty! Thanks for the pics. You are welcome Brian. It its a gorgeous looking 525, I just couldnt pass on it. Yours aint shabby at all either, my friend! When I had my 525 I LOVED flat wounds on her as well (yes, I know.... now Will and I have agreed on 3 things this year). But in all seriousness, I REALLY loved flats on my 525, but Lyle hated them. So to each their own, but I think flats are at least worth a try if you are looking for jazz tones or old 50s blues tones. Yes, we are setting a record John! Wonder what Lyle did not like about the FW's? Whats not to like about them? They are easy on the fingers and sound incredible. And you are dead on about the tones!! That is a real beaut! I've never played one, but it looks like a really comfortable instrument. Very comfortable instrument Keith. Light too! I didn't know you had a 525, Will. Gorgeous! I keep secrets Katy!
LK155 Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Will, I agree with you totally about the easier playability of flatwounds. And I really, really liked the complete lack of noise as you slide your fingers up and down the strings. No more inadvertent screeches as you move to the next chord. But I wasn't crazy about the tone. Particularly the tone of the low A and E strings, which, to me, just sounded like dull thudding rather than musical notes. No doubt sonic beauty is in the ear of the beholder. I'm much happier with roundwounds on my H525. And yeah, you've got a beautiful one there.
