    I missed this thread first time around. I've never even heard of a Gibson Sheryl Crow let alone seen one, but I can recognise a happy new guitar owner when I see one post about it. So good for you @Cryptid!

    @Fishboy7 Congratulations :smiley: A fine choice! I'm still besotted with mine - it's a remarkably responsive and sweet sounding guitar. Playability is great, even with the nut a tad higher than I'd like.

    I wasn't taken with the red back and sides when I first saw this model advertised, but now it's mine I wouldn't have it any other way. It's not quite as bright and lipstick-y IRL, more a deep cherry. I think it's a gorgeous thing, but then I would say that ;) 

    One thing I'd mention is how picky it is about strings. I've been through 4 different sets and although none of them sounded particularly bad, I've never had a guitar where the difference is so pronounced. DR Sunbeam 12's are on it right now and they suit the guitar perfectly IMO. Tonal bliss! Sometimes I'll just strum a chord and shake my head in disbelief. The tension is so low I might experiment with 13s for a little more bass response acoustically, but volume and projection are certainly not lacking. 

    It's nice to have a dread with sweet yet commanding mids and highs without much boomy bass. Plugged into a PA, the bass is deep but well behaved. I find myself having to dial a lot of mids out when accompanying vocals but kept flat, it cuts through a mix superbly when playing with other instruments. 

    I saw a friend over the weekend who's an excellent Gypsy Jazz player - he tried it and couldn't believe how good it sounded for that sort of material. 

    I look forward to hearing your thoughts when yours arrives :)

    @Cryptid ; - I thought about 13s on my Dove but I didn't go there.

    I got a set of bone bridge pins from JP Guitars and they give me a fuller sound

    At least, that's how *I* hear it.

    @Fishboy7 ; - so have you got a Sheryl Crow? What do you think?

    We want a full report, you know :)

    Ah, I  got cold feet and cancelled the order in the end.  I also bought a 335 (61 reissue) this week and couldn't justify both.

    Well as long as you feel you've made the right choice, that's good :)

    Haha, not sure now actually. 

    GAK have put their price back up from 3499 to 3899 since I cancelled it though

    Oh, I do love a 335, though. Is there a NGD thread for that?

    Sure, I'll do some pics tomorrow.  It is rather a nice one.

    @Fishboy7 Ahh shame, I was looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it. Probably a wise decision though considering your other purchase. 

    Congrats on the 335 - sounds like you have great taste in guitars ;) I have an '81 Tokai ES-100 that's been neglected lately, must give it some fuss when I get home.

    Thanks

    Here's the new 335.

    I'm still on the lookout for a nice acoustic but probably something a bit more basic than the Sheryl.
