I rode into Austin Texas in 1999 on a Bicycle, all the way from Hot Springs, Arkansas, with a "Carlos" Flattop Guitar & a bunch of Special-20 Harps. I was playing on "The Drag" (Guadelupe Street) from 11:00 AM then moved to "6th. Street" about 5:00 OM & played until 4:00 AM, 7 Days a week. I found the Gibson at One World Guitars, put it on Law Away ($20.00 Bill Down) and within a month "The Citizens & Tourists of Austin, Texas" BOUGHT me a GIBSON GUITAR! I have a old Photo of me holding it, http://homelessjazzguitar.blogspot.com/2011/01/gibson-mk-53-guitar-1977-model.html I truely loved that Guitar, & when I showed up at a Folk Festival in Ramona, CA. the Bridge had Separated, I glurd it back (Yellow Elmer's) and Counter-Sunk 2 Tiny Brass Screws into the Under-Brace to Hold it! The Sound was in no way affected. I owned a 1977 MK-53, used a Don Lace Bronze Sensor to amplify.

I'm going to have to send you some "beer money" for replying so quickly there, mate. ;-) Do you process the sound in any way - pedals, desk effects? I'm also guessing you go into the mixer and not a dedicated acoustic guitar amp..? BR Matt Hmm.. I’m going to have to send you some “beer money” for replying so quickly there, mate.
