zookroo1 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 That's different but pretty cool! I always like seeing something a little bit out of the ordinary. Wonder how the sound differs from the standard versions?

111518 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Reminds me of an early Howard Roberts... but with way more dress-up. I once, while Jones-ing badly for a Howard Roberts, wrote Jay Wolfe about the possibility of Heritage making an archtop with a soundhole rather than f-holes. (Jay has, or had, an Epi Howard Roberts he sometimes mentions in his descriptions of guitars.) He told me that they had made a few, but that he tended to think the f-hole guitars with similar features sounded better. This GE is pretty impressive ... but somehow the beauty of the old Howards Roberts' lay in their simplicity, IMHO. (I like the original epi's better than the more gaudy later Gibsons.)
